5 Days And Counting



Recommended Posts

March 21st is rapidly approaching and im anxious and nervous all at the same time....Im totally prepared as far as Protein and chewable vitamins. Today i purchased a new pair of pj's for the hospital. Got my hair cut in a low maintenance hairstyle, found a sustitute driver to get my kids to & from school. Completed spring clean up of the front yard now all is left to do is change the linen and rotate the mattresses on the beds. Im staying busy to keep my mind off of counting the minutes down! Lol!

I pray all goes well

Chapstick!!! U will be so dry and won't be able to drink anything. My lips hurt so bad I finally needed to ask nurse for something. Then just basics, pj's, socks, toothbrush. Oh ya they will have u walking halls so slippers or flip flops. Mine was earlier in morning too, good thing because if it was later, my anxiety would of gotten the best of me. Well again good luck!

Things to take to the hospital would definitely be a sippy cup, robe so when you walk your butt isn't hanging out the back of the gown, favorite blanket so you stay nice and warm, slipper socks to keep your feet warm, slippers to walk in the halls with, definitely your own body wash, and Chapstick is a must and lotion....along with hair brush tooth brush etc.

      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.
