Surgery date in april!



Recommended Posts

Hi, April dates!

My surgery is this Tuesday the 2nd. I'm excited yet nervous for the surgery itself. Today I started the 3 day clear liquids... I'm superdeedooper hungry, but I can do this! I plan to get a few things done but then treat myself and go to bed early to get some good rest. I'll be off work for a few weeks so will check in here regularly to see how everyone is doing!

New here too. My date is April 17 - one day before you. I am nervous as hell! I have made a few other posts about lack of support and other things.

My Dr's liver-reduction diet is very simple to me. The hardest part is the protien because I HATE shakes or Protein powder.

I feel overehelmed in the pre-appointments though. And I want to be sure my house is all cleaned up and the groceries done etc before I am admitted.

I feel very overwhelmed.

Ok so I'm really bad at this blog stuff...sorry for getting back to you so late...but I know exactly how you feel. I too am overwhelmed. It's been a roller-coaster! But in the end everything will be fine. Remember to stay positive and think about how great our lives are going to be afterwards. I can't wait to have the energy to get it all done. I feel do tired and yet I feel like I have sooo much to do! Hang in there!

Hi all. I had my surgery on Wednesday April 3rd. I spent two nights in the hospital and I have been having the hardest time. I can hardly eat, I cannot drink Water. One water bottle as lasted me three days. I haven't been able to have a bowel movement for two days. I feel nauseated all day. I cry every morning. I am barely getting the Vitamins into me. I can't sleep. And I'm ready to go to my surgeon and tell him I made a mistake. I have been going through this process fr five years, I knew things may happen and I was prepared for that and now I just feel like I didn't think it through enough which I know I did. Everyone is telling me tat ill e fine and to stay positive and that makes my emotions rose. Someone please help me.

Okay so I had surgery this past Monday the 8th I had to stay an extra night cause my wbc count was too low.. I finally came home yesterday afternoon feeling like I wish I was still in the hospital. I have been in so much pain on my right side below everything.. Also my left side in between staples. It's excruciating to get up and down anytime now. I've been able to keep liquids down.. I've also had some cottage cheese and yogurt. Love my blue bunny sugar free fudgesicles. But with all the pain and I haven't had a bm since being home and my temp was 99.9 today, I then called my dr. He said it was all gas.. To get Miralax and an enema. Really?!

But you know since day one of liquid diet til today I've lost 20lbs already! Boom! Gotta through the pain and gas! It can be done!

      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.
