October Surgery Dates



Recommended Posts

Glad to finally hear from you tp100. Yeah I have read stories about the mother nature thing with this surgery so I went out and bought 4 boxes of tampons LOL. I can't stand pads. I should be starting aunt Flo any day now so hopefully I wont be on it during surgery time

Well I am definitly not into pads either but just trying to wipe is a chore I can't imagine trying to use a tampon right now.

I was just having a convo with my hubby that I am going to rent a recliner for surgery and stock up on pads...the thought of tampons scares me for that time. Even though I hate pads I will suck it up

Do you think a recliner would be helpful?

I rented a recliner because I've read that it is easier to sleep in until a couple to few weeks out. Its a really comfy one. :D

I am trying to start one. Not sure what exactly I can or cannot have or if I have to count calories along with this too. I don't have to do one yet just one week prior to surgery and don't have a date yet. But last I talked to surgeon in July he wanted me to lose 10 pounds before surgery

      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.
