November Dates



Recommended Posts

I have been reading all of the November member posts. I wish all of you a successful surgery. It is normal to be scared and nervous. I am 6 months post op. my RNY surgery was April 23, 2012. I weighed 297. My medical problems were high blood pressure, asthma and sleep apnea. I'm no longer on the blood pressure and asthma meds. My cpap pressure has been cut down real low. I have an appointment next week and the doctor is going to schedule me for a sleep study to see if I can come off of it. My current weight is 216. I have lost 81 pounds. This is one of the best decisions I have made. I have 36 more pounds to lose to reach my goal weight. I figured I would give you guys a little encouragement. Again I wish you all the best.

November 14, 2012 is my surgery. I had to start my pre-op diet a week early Jesus help me, but today liquid diet day number 1 went well better as the day went on. It was a little hairy around mid afternoon especially feeding the kiddos, but hubby is my partner and doing this journey with me. God bless him for being with me through this journey. Just wanted to introduce myself this is my first post so forgive me if I am rambling. :D All smiles at the conclusion of my first day. I am warned day two gets really rough.

Thank you that was a very encouraging post. My asthma is so bad I am afraid they will cancel the surgery. I have had three breathing treatments today. You have done so well. Again thank you so much for sharing.

Welcome sounds like you are off to a great start and having your partner with you sure helps. This is a great place for support and information.

Feel free to ramble whenever you want,

I just finished day four of my pre op diet. I am not hungry but I am kinda down in the dumps and edgy. My family is going to be ready for me to be in the hospital for a few days they need the break from this moody lady.

yay! I have gotten to the stage of my (super long) preop diet where I start having energy again and smell a little chemically! I know its gross, but totally a good thing! went for an hour walk today in the sunshine, it was so nice :) I wish the weather had been better earlier in the day though otherwise I would have rolled around in the daisies! Spring is so nice!

and I am in a SUPER HAPPY MOOD now! Amazing what a little exercise can do!

Love reading everyone's updates!

For some reason when I access the rnytalk website from my home computer it won't let me like anyone's post or reply to anything. It's a brand new alienware computer so it better not be messed up! So please don't think I'm not sharing in ur joys and also the fears LOL

I have the sleep study tomorrow and final weigh in Wed, then submitting to insurance! Hopefully the hurricane doesn't kill the power and I can still have my final pre opt appt Fri!

HI ALL!!

I can't beleive that November is almost here. It is all going by so quick now. I told my mom today and she did not freak out. Thank goodness!

I have so much to get ready. I have started to pack my bag for the hospital so I do not forget anything. I have this incredible urge to pitch stuff and clean! The shopping is $$ but I am not buying food. I am the one that cooks as well but we are pretty stock piled. Hubby can cook when forced. lol

Mommy and Starrlov, you start us off so good luck to you! We will be waiting to hear how you are doing.

      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.
