Update on my surgery with Dr. Garcia!



Recommended Posts

Sorry it took me so long to get back to you! I wasn't made aware of an 800# at the Marriott. But you could definitely ask at the desk. We used FaceTime the entire time to communicate through the Wifi and it worked great. We also used the phone at the hospital.

The number is 888-748-8785 just tell your family to be persistant if someone gives them a hard time about patching them through. When my mother called it took her two times the first time, each time thereafter she had no issues calling my room.

No problem, glad I could help :) I was sleeved 11/8/12 so almost 3 months out.

I am doing great, just need to get my behind in gear and start exercising. Other then that eating feels like a chore and I was a bread lover now all I can think about is my Protein and don't even want the bread!! Lol

I am just soooo happy that I had this done. Just had my 3 month blood work done waiting for results hopefully my Vitamins are doing their jobs.

Thanks for asking! :)

Beth,

I was reading posts on some of the post-op forums, and I was surprised to read that many people had trouble eating eggs early in their recovery. For some reason, scrambled eggs seem to upset alot of sensitive stomachs!

      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.
