November Dates



Recommended Posts

Postop day six has left me so surprised n it just started. I took my mom to work this morning, she works @ a medical center so i seen it as an opportunity to finally jump on a scale since the last time i was weighed was right before going in to surgery i was 365lbs. Now i have not been able to use a weighted scale in years since it only goes up to 350lbs. So of course the closes scale to my moms office is a weighted, but i figure what's the harm in trying it... imagine my surprise when i stepped on slid the main weight to 300 and started sliding the little weight.. i look at my mom n told her am i doing this wrong?! She came over and looked the slid the little weight around some more and said nope babe you are 344lbs. (Jaw dropped) today has made all the pain and uncomfortableness of the past 6 days worth it... however i do know that when my dr. Finds out he will probably tell me its way to much weight and its probably because i am having a hard time consuming my liquids but ever day gets a little better so here's hoping to continued improvement and continued weight loss...good luck today to all those having there procedures done today:)

Wishing you the very best and hope everyday is better and better,

Newbie I went in Wed last week my drain was removed Friday before I was discharged and I have nothing coming out of it. I just keep a dry dressing on it. While I was in the hospital I did have some draining around the tube at the insertion site but they said that was all normal then it almost but stopped before I left.

Vicki I am supposed to keep the drain for two weeks because I had the Lapband in first so they took it out and them did the bypass. The surgery was also much longer five hours. I am sore but not too bad just jealous that my family is eating and I am doing shakes. I think the emotional side of this is going to be much more difficult to deal with.

      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.
