After ten months...freedom!



Recommended Posts

I can't believe it! Finally after 10 months I was discharged from nurses care. That was a long 10 months let me tell you..Now I am on my own to do what I please with no time limits...What ever will I do..LOL

Seriously though, I was wondering if I was ever going to get better...Feels kinda strange to not be around medical personal.....Hope I can handle it...who am I kidding I can definitely handle the freedom it will give me.

For once I really feel like I am finally on my journey.!!!!!

Oh my gosh why were you in nurses care for so long??

Congratulations on being freeeee!

I had a 5 month stay in hospital due to complications with the sleeve...I went septic, in a coma, lost all my hair, did not eat for 51/2 months, had 10 surgeries and had a trackia. Had to learn to walk again. Talk again, eat again. And even speak again....Got a category 5 ulcer on my ass when I was in the coma and just now it has healed enough for me to no longer need a nurse.....my journey has been a night mare...

but I would do it all again because of how I feel right now...I can stand for hours used to stand for 10 min. and the pain was so bad I would have to sit down. Migraines every day. Had trouble getting up and down stairs..Etc..you know the drill...

I am so much happier with the sleeve..It almost cost me my life but it gave me my life back.....

That is the short version...

      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.
