Good luck to those having surgery tomorrow :-)

Sent from my iPad using RNYTalk

Same here this is the first time I've picked up my tablet and logged on, just haven't been up to much. Doesn't help that the house is empty from 9 am to 8 pm and that I don't like being alone. Tried going to the store this past Sunday and ended up in tears half way through the list :( he wanted me to sit down and let him finish, but I said to let me get through. Can't wait to get back to work (did I just say that) LOL

Surgery date May 14th 2013

Starting to get anxious as my day is Friday. Not only about the surgery but also "leaving" my 2 year old for a couple of days while I'm in the hospital. The hospital is in a different city than where I'm from. I'm sure all will go well, but how do you explain to a 2 year old you can't pick them up. She will be very heart broken.

Went to my last group meeting yesterday. At the end I asked the coordinator if the surgeon would book my pre-op and dietician appt. She said to me my June 12 appt is my pre-op. I said holly shit that means my surgery could be June. Way too happy. I told my husband this morning this is a dream come true. And I have been a person that I always had personality..good self esteem even being fat. I just wanna me able to be normal. Good luck to everyone having surgery in May, and again cant wakt to be on that side of tge field.

I understand how you are feeling. I will just like that one week ago. We have came up with "other ways" to get things done and for me not to pick her up. Yesterday was my first time after surgery going to pick her up from preschool. She ran up and was telling all her friends and teachers "look my mommy is better my mommy is better". This morning I woke her up just a few mins earlier than normal just so we could " cudle and snuggle:" in the recliner. (I made sure to put a pillow on my stomach just incase).

Ugh. Idk what is going on with me the last couple of days. I've ended up "throwing up" Idk it's like I have foamy spit coming up that I gave to get out. Guess it could be worse. Just glad throwing up isn't the same acidy bile as before.

Surgery Date: May 2, 2013 - Amount Lost: 32lbs

Oh no! I hope your feeling better. Maybe you ate something that just didn't agree with your pouch.

My surgery is this THURS and I am scared %@&*-less. I don't think' date=' I will be able to sleep in the next 24+ hrs. It's starting to hit me really hard, that this is truly happening. I have so much on my mind, I feel like my head is going to explode.

I need to watch some Steve Urkel episodes and think happy thoughts. Hopefully, I will see you all on the other side.[/quote']

Question. I had preop appointment today. I got prescriptions for gallstones and Pepcid. Am I supposed to take these before the surgery or after? I forgot to ask today. I will call tomorrow, but was just curious. Thanks

      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.
