August 2013 Roll Call



Recommended Posts

I was sleeved on 8/16. I was super nervous but it will be over before you know it. My husband and I actually joked that it was pretty anticlimactic after all this build up. the dr gave me something to relax, and then next thing i know i woke up in my room. i was a little nauseous but they gave me meds for that asap and then i was nodding in an out like a heroin addict. it really was a lot less bad than i expected, especially after reading the complications board non-stop.

Hey my husband and I were talking about that type of scale, if u don't mind me asking but what is the cost of that type of scale???

I got the Withings Wireless Scale WS-30 from Amazon. It's more expensive but it syncs wirelessly with my iPhone & iPads & an online account.

Ok so I went for my last appointment and meet with everyone and found out that I have lost 14 pounds since my last visit. I was really excited that I lost some weight considering I have been watching my food intake for the past 19 days. I am now starting my pre-op diet and it just a low carb, high Protein so I get to have 2 weight watchers meals, 1 Protein Drink, 2 cups of dairy, 1/2 cup fruit, 1 cup vegetable and 8 cups of Water. So its about 800-1000 calories a day and 60-100 grams of protein. I am so worried that I will not be able to get all the protein in because I start this diet today and I cant pick up my Protein Shakes til Wednesday so I guess it will be ok if I do the other stuff until that day. I just want to day that I have blood work done today and they took like 12 tubes of blood, I mean that is alot and I was really light headed after that. I love my hospital but the hospital food in the food court is expensive. Me and hubby had a chicken salad, chicken strips, onion rings and a cranberry juice and it was 17 dollars. That is way over the top and my hubby was really upset about it. So, I told him when he stays the night with me he better pack a lunch. lol. I am really excited now that I am coming really close to the day and nervous because its really coming close to the day. They gave my group samples of Unjury Chicken Soup and vanilla mix. I am going to try them out and see how it work and may buy some to have on hand. So its 10 days and counting and I cant wait.

      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.
