Two days post op and in having terrible pain at my drain site. My incisions are starting to hurt a little but as well. Can't wait for Dr. Luna to remove the drain today. Hopefully that stops the pain. On top of that I barely got any sleep. Guess I won't truly recover til I'm home in my own bed.

Sade, I hope you are feeling better. I really liked Dr. Luna and the rest of the staff. Be sure to let them know if you have problems. All the best to you.

Sade326, I'm sorry to hear that you are having pain. Maybe Dr. Luna will prescribe something to help with that.

 

I hope that you will rest better at the hotel, where it will be much quieter and the bed should be softer!

I'm feeling great good luck on ur date you'll do fine. I wasn't even nervous I had one little spell but because I watched a video of how the procedure was done right before surgery. But within a few minutes that spell was over. Lol.

So glad to hear you're ok. My day is fast approaching. I'm nervous as he&$ and just ready to get it over with already. Preop diet is slowly coming along,(slowly meaning I've snuck a bite of candy here spoon of rice crispies there while the kids were eating :(. ) I'm really to nervous to eat though. The day before the diet started I ate everything in site out of pure nervousness. Oh well, soon I will be where you are. Did you have to take off from work? How long will you be home for?

You'll do fine. Just leave it in God's hands and you'll have nothing to worry about. I did take off work I will be out for total of 33 days. For the sake of taking advantage of my benefits. Lol

I feel like Im loosing my ever flippen mind!! My surgery is in 15 days... I am stalking the mess out of this forum!

Will I have a leak?

Will I get dehydrated?

Will this really work for me?

Will someone kidnap my fat ass in Mexico?

Have I lost my mind?

Will some other tragedy fall upon me before I get it done?

Is this really going to happen?

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
