This time next Monday night I'll be resting in hospital from my surgery



Recommended Posts

I'm actually excited about it and a little nervous. But I'm not thinking negative. I'm a strong believer in thinking and being positive! However I'm still a little nervous because it is major surgery. But this time next Monday night i'll be resting in the hospital from having my sleeve done earlier that day. :P

Anyone else getting sleeved on the 4th?

No you won't! They'll have your butt up and down the halls walking every 2 hours! :P

Then they come in and take your vitals every so often.

Then when you've just drifted off to sleep, the church ladies come in and want to pray for you.

And then there's the fire drills, fire alarm went off twice while I was there.

It might not happen to you, but that was my experience, maybe I just got the bonus plan. :wacko:

Lol....bonus plan. Well all that up and down meant no blood clots for you, right?

Yea, no blood clots. And it helped move the gas out of my system. I didn't want to move, but once I was up and walking, I felt better.

      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.
