possible operation number 10



Recommended Posts

Just found out from my nurse that I may have to have surgery again to repair the opening from my ulcer I got while in the hospital...Instead of healing correctly it is closing in on the surface and leaving a pocket underneath which will cause abscesses....grrrrr

Will the grief ever end!!!

Sorry you are going through this and my thoughts are with you.. And hopefully they can get ahead of your issues.

You mentioned you got an ulcer while in hospital? How is that?

I was in the hospital for 5 months due to complications with my sleeve surgery...they had to put me in a coma. I was in it for 19 days..When I woke up I had a category 5 bed sore....which is the worst you can get!

      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.
