Well, it's time



Recommended Posts

Tomorrow is my day. The hospital called me, and told me that my time had been moved up and that I needed to show up at 5am instead of 6:30am, kind of curious what that's about. I'm excited and nervous at the same. I'm all packed and ready to go, not sure if I'll be able to sleep or not tonight, haha, but I'll be ready none the less. I'll post a few updates today as things progress.

Probably someone cancelled. At least yours got moved up. Mine was moved out 2 hours. I hated waiting that extra time.

My bp and heart rate are up, so I'm on bp meds. I've been able to sleep decently, walking a lot and sipping Water. So far things are great. Just mild soreness in the abs.

      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.
