Bonus surgery for sure!



Recommended Posts

So i had surgery March 22nd. During surgery my doctor found a small nodule in my stomach. He sent it for biopsy as a precaution. Yesterday i went for my first post op doc appointment. Down 18 pounds! Also found out that the results of the biopsy showed i had a tumor I'm my stomach. Absolutely no symptoms to support that, but i was told that having this surgery basically could have saved my life! Wow! That was a lot to digest for sure. I have to follow up with an oncologist but they feel very optimistic that they got it all during surgery. I'm very lucky i had this surgery. Bonus surgery!

I had the same thing happen to me it was GIST cancer, they caught it way early, all gone & no further treatment needed. Was seen @ Roswell Park Cancer Institute in Buffalo NY. Hope everything turns out as good for you as it did for me.

      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.
