Recommended Posts

Well sleevies, its done! I get in Saturday, and had surgery maybe four hours later, did preop and EKG and had some issues with my blood pressure but they handled that quickly...Surgery went will, had a little more bleedjng than,usual, but Dr. Garcia handled that quite quickly even coming back to the hospital 12:30 Saturday nite. I feel great, the hospital is nice and the nurses are great they stay on top of medicine and vitals. The Marriot is gorgeous. Of course I will give another update, right now Im just tired, not really in pain but kind of sore, like three thousand crunches...love you guys....talk to you later

      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.
