Surgery and TOM



Recommended Posts

Sounds like the odd panties I was given by the nurse after I gave birth. I hate those hospital pads, I sent someone to get me my own pads as soon as I could.

I had mine too. Couldn't wear anything at all during surgery, just had a pad under me (ugh). But the nurse helped me put on my own undies and a pad (I brought my own) when I was ready to go for my first walk.

The worst part was when I had to pee, they made me put that stupid measuring cup in the toilet so they could keep track of my liquid output. So every time I peed I had to call the nurse and have them check it. I hated that, was embarrassing lol

I remember the measuring cup, ugh it's so embarassing to use especially when sharing the bathroom.

The cleaning lady flushed my pee!!!!! I had the hat that catches it then I cup to save it in til they came and documented....they were concerned my output was low so I was REALLY try to get my stupid ounces in, I'd finally got the cup up where they wanted it and the house keeper dumped it before they measured. I almost cried :P. they were nice enough to take my word for it though!

      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.
