Recommended Posts

Tomorrow I'll be in surgery! Only 52 days from start of the process to surgery. I'm taking that as good omen that this is meant to be! I'm hoping to update when up to it from my shiny new IPad!

I am also having surgery tomorrow at 1pm... getting nervous!

I'm now 3 days post op and the nausea is terrible. The pain has subsided, but I have terrible cramping from diarrhea and nausea. Thankfully, I seemed to have stopped throwing up. So far, not the easy recovery I had prayed for. I pray all of you have a better time of it. My sister had this 6 years ago and none of the problems I'm having. Praying this gets better soon.

      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.
