Recommended Posts

I just got my surgery on the 9th , I'm back home now ! DR GARCIA And his team and everyone at the hospital were excellent and very caring , constantly checking on me and my fellow sleeves for that day and week! The hospital staff kept checking on me frequently and cared for all my needs... The ready 4 change staff were on point all spoke English and made me feel very comfortable. Everything they told me on line or on the phone was exactly what they did! Nothing was different , I never had to say "that's not what you guys told me" Never!!! Because the way the explained me was exactly what occurred , felt very confident and reassured and extremely happy. So don't you worry you ARE in good hands believe me! The Marriott treated us awesome and they were so friendly. The driver Samuel sr and Jr were both professional and spoke English and even gave us a tour of downtown and he even stopped twice for Starbucks and at a convenient store for us. What great guys... Ok take care and font sweat it piece of cake ....good luck anything else just ask. Steve

Steve, did you have any buyers remorse that first week? How was the pain for you?

      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.
