November Dates

I used pain pump to help me slep, plus I needed zofran for the nausea

.... Thank God I didn't get a catheter

Sent from my iPad using RNYTalk

Mommy327, I was wondering about the catheter that everyone had in after the surgery. I was told by my doctor that they would put in the catheter after i was "snoozing" and take it out before I fully woke up....so maybe you did actually have a catheter?? If you did...I'm glad you had no idea! LOL! :)

Just found out my pain pump button wasn't working' date=' so the whole time I have been without pain meds and I feel fine. Still just so tired, but was walking the halls at 4am and on way to walk some more. Got gatorade and popsicles down, feeling good, little hesitant about the Jello LOL karmagirl I was nervous as heck too, even told my hubby let's just go home, bc I was scheduled at 8 but Dr had an emergency so it didn't happen until 10. Glad I didn't leave. (((Hugs))) to everyone going today![/quote']

Congrats we did it. I am having jello right now and it tastes so good.

I had the catheter put in will I was "out" yesterday and they removed it this morning. I didn't really bother me just that I felt lots of pressure down there but I was glad to have it because I filled it up like 4 times and so I didn't have to keep getting up to go pee- to much of a hassle and walking is not that easy. Bloating, pressure and some gas pains plus all the wires...

Omg!!! I did it. I had surgery today at noon. I expected the worst and cried some before it because I was so nervous. Right now at 11pm is the most I have been alert and awake. I have been sleeping like crazy and a few hours ago I had some juice and broth which went down ok especially cuz I was hungry and dry throat. I also toke a short walk which was hard because I am super dizzy. The pain was bad at first but has gotten easier and is tolerable. I'm a big baby and for me I was surprised the pain is not bad. Nothing that the meds could not fix. I no longer am scared and I feel good and don't regret this!! Thank God. Now I am finally excited!!! :) Wishing everyone the best.........

Hey Karmagirl, glad you are feeling good and I am also glad that your surgery went well for you. Take care and don't do too much. Shameka

Hi I'm a newbie..I was suppose to have my last surgeon appointment on December 3Rd..I just got a call with approval surgery date is November 28th ...didn't expect this until late December..I'm so excited but very nervous at the same time. Good things like this don't usually happen for me..

Hey Jessica143, my surgery date is November28th as well. I am a bit scared, but prayer works. I believe that we both will be just fine.

      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.
