December 28th surgery date.



Recommended Posts

Good luck each and everyone of you. It is a very exciting experience.. I had my surgery on 8/29/12.

It is rough the first couple of days but remember sip, sip, sip and walk, walk, walk....

First couple of days you might not get to much fluids into your tummy. IT is swollen, irritated and very sore...

Don't try and rush into the next stage of your post-op. take it one day at a time..

I was excited to see several people sharing the same surgery date as myself. Even though we are miles apart, I will have some comfort knowing that there are other people out there on Friday morning feeling the same anticipation and excitement as we start a new journey. Best wishes and positive thoughts to everyone as we move though the last few hours before surgery.

Prepare to be miserable for 24-48 hours after that its smoothe sailing 72 hours after surgery I was doing 30min walks around my hotel climbing 3 or 4 flights of stairs at a time. Walking after surgery is very important to your recovery every time I went walking it got easier and easier. Good luck!

Hello all that will be going in tomorrow to be sleeved.... Yes I have been praying, listening to gospel music and meditating on the goodness of the Lord!! :) I got my call today, At first i was asked to be there at 4pm felt bummed a lil because i was thinking Dear Lord help me not eat anything 8 hrs before surgery and how would i make it w/o a Protein shake (lol) then i dozed off for a short nap and my phone vibrated I answered and the nurse called to tell me that my surgery had been moved up to 12pm \o/ Praise God is all i could say....

      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.
