March Surgery Dates



Recommended Posts

Good luck to all of today's surgeries!

As for me' date=' no more morephin, horrible chest pain and getting ready for UGI. Catheter is out(thank god).

Feeling a little tummy discomfort(5incisions) but its the chest pain that is bothering.

Slept like a baby last night but that was due to the pain meds, unfortunately no more today <img src='http://www.bariatricpal.com/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':(' />[/quote']

My pre op appointment is Friday, and my EGD is a week from tomorrow... time seems to be going so SLOOOOOOOOOW.... I feel like a kid at Christmas Eve and it's happening over and over again. I'm trying to keep my schedule busy to pass the time more quickly. I need a distraction, lol!! I'm so glad to see every one is doing well post op and just want everyone to know that I will be praying for you on your surgery day. I can hardly wait until my day arrives.

LOL! I felt like this too, but I'm having my basement remodeled and that project is a HUGE one and it's keeping me very busy. It will be here before you know it!

My surgery is March 19th. And I am so excited but very nervous. I am not sure how to handle what people will say. I'm trying to think positive thoughts!! What are some things that you women are looking forward to being able to do once you lose some of the weight or even all of the weight??

Looking forward to not being winded when I walk up stairs, not having to worry if my clothes fit (too big would be great!), putting my socks on with ease, fitting nicely into an airplane seat, wanting to be in pictures, enjoying a nice beach vacation where I feel good about wearing shorts and a swimsuit, saving money on food!! Really everything!! What are you looking forward to?

      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.
