Hello I Can Hear You, I'm Right Here!



Recommended Posts

I must be going a little Wacko Jacko since it is getting so close to my surgery date. I have twice dreamt that I am on the surgery table and the surgeon and all the nurses and staff are totally making fun of me in spanish. "Hey guys we sure got ourselves a real big one this time." "She sure could of used a sharper razor on those legs and pits." I am knocked out during this time, but I can totally hear them and understand them (I don't speak spanish). In my head I am screaming "Hey *@$holes I can totally hear you!"

That is hilarious. If you've ever watched medical shows you know the Dr's always talk smack about their patient's while they're under. They can say whatever they want about me, as long as I don't wake up to hear it I'll be good to go! LOL

When the surgeons at mayo Clinic did my other surgery, there was a sign by the operating table that said, "Remember they can hear you". Lol. I sure don't want to hear them or feel them!!

Glad it was only a dream!

Lol that's too funny. I was so worried about them talking about me also because of all the medical shows. My husband kept telling me I was crazy and that they would be professional but I still worried about it up to the time they took me back for surgery.

Oh this is super funny.....but, um, I had not thought about this. Now I have a new worry to obsess over! UGH! Ha ha.

In all seriousness, does Dr. Ponce gives you a surgery DVD? ;-)

      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.
