12/31 surgery date - 1st time in a long time that I am excited for NYE



Recommended Posts

I stopped at Walmart today and picked up my GasX, listerine breath strips, chapstick, Halls Vitamin drops... otherwise, PJs, pillow, basic toiletries, hoodie and some slipper socks... iPad is loaded with new books and I think I am ready to go... filled all scripts today and already have to start an argument with my insurance over my Nexium prescription...

I could use a few book recommendations! I've got a few on my list but nothing I'm really excited about.

Mine went really fast! I've heard people's periods starting pretty quick too. Hope you are feeling better! I'm having trouble sipping liquids and haven't gotten any Protein in yet. I plan on trying a pre made shake tonight. I'm so excited for us! We made it! Happy New Year to us!!!

I was home by 2:30.. my period started also so that was a surprise... I came home and laid down and slept too long so I am behind on my pain meds and feeling it... no problem with liquids or Protein, thank god... just some issues with coughing, irritation up near my shoulders which I think is gas and soreness where my drain was... I have the kiddos running around etc so hoping I can get some real rest tomorrow here at home by myself and set some reminders for my pain meds. I feel like I can get a decent amount of liquid down... I have to be careful to not gulp it too quickly or "sid the sleeve" reminds me quickly that he can be a real ass

      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.
