Yep! Went fine! I'm using my push-button-medication-pump, It seems to help. Tomorrow I have the swallowing study, THEN I can have an ice cube! YEA. I AM SOO HAPPY I DID THIS! All my exercise equipment ready for me @ home, got a Simple Organic cookbook... I'm ready to become the woman I've been stifling inside for too many years!!

Thanks tmorgan! Just had my two laps around the floor, if I do 4 a day (easy-peasy) they take the compression stockings off. Hope to get the drain tube and catheter out today also! Tippy! No, I said "yippy". ( darned spell check!)

Yes, I have a higher level of discomfort, can't call it pain.. But today they take away the medication pump and I try Vicodin. That worries me...

Till later,

You're funny! Isn't that why were on this journey? To "do the dang thang??"

All the way into the surgery room yesterday I kept saying to everybody "OH MY GOSH! IM HAVING GASTRIC BYPASS!!"

I'm glad that part is over, now I have the hard part ahEad of me... Implementing it in my lifestyle. But I've got an Organic cookbook, and I'm reading Jillian Michaels book on hormones and how the work and wHat processed food does to or bodies. Very interesting stuff!!

Later,

D

I was looking forward to going home today, but yesterday afternoon I spent throwing up. Have a fever of 101 this am, so I don't think I'm going home just yet. I sure don't feel strong enough yet either...

Hi all,

It appears there may be an obstruction.. Which is what caused the vomiting. I'm back NPO hoping it resolves itself. Otherwise.. Back to the OR.

      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.
