Finally on the losers bench!



Recommended Posts

Ihad my surgery at 8:45 est. My doctor said my surgery went really well. It was a lap band to sleeve all in one conversion. I have not been allowed to eat or drink today at all. My first drink will be tomorrow at my swallow eval. And with this surgery I think I was one of the lucky ones, I have not even been hungry!! I have only needed pain medication 4 times since surgery, I am very sore, but I am not really in a lot of pain. I have been up and walking multiple times times today. Last time I walked around the unit 4 times. So if I don't have a leak tomorrow I will get to go home!!!

      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.
