Recommended Posts

Yes' date=' they called me too! I have to be there at 5am, looks like you're first up :) The liquid diet isnt a problem really, I have zero appetite just thinking about Tuesday. OMG

Also I have a cold, no fever or chest congestion....but I have a head cold. Hospital says no problem unless I have a fever. I hope thats really ok, dont want to end up with pneumonia.

Hows it going for you?[/quote']

It's going good, I was originally suppose to have surgery on December 28th and got the flu on the 27th. They couldn't do surgery since I was running a fever. I was so disappointed because I had did very well on the liquid diet and then got sick. But now I feel really good and glad I rescheduled. I hope you feel better. Best of luck to you. Lets keep in contact so we can support one another!

I have a cold too going into tomorrow - I just called my doc to see if I could take Zyrtec tonight - got the thumbs up - so that will help me sleep also :-)! I am scared to go in with the cold - I almost always get bronchitis this time of year - that would really suck if I get that with staples!!!

Hi everyone. It is 9:30 am on the day of surgery, and I don't report until 12. I'm dying for Water but of course I can't have it. I posted earlier about getting my period. I have some terrible cramps this morning, bad timing. I'll try to post tonight. See you on the loser's bench!

Congrats Jeff! I had surgery at 2pm today, and I am doing great. They are letting me sip 1 oz of Water, crystal lite, or Isopure every 15 minutes. It is helping.

      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.
