Recommended Posts

Ok I found the BEST aide for an embarrassing issue .....since surgery ive not been able to wipe myself after going to the bathroom and my hubby has to do it for me ....well he had to back to work today and my biggest worry was he would leave for work and i would get diarrhea and be stuck on the toilet all day...i was so upset and telling my best friend the other day and she told me about a long reach comfort wipe its sold at walgreens for $7.99 ...i didnt think it would work but figured id try anything and guess what IT WORKS! !!!! wish i wouldve known of this sooner my husband has been great but its very humiliating needing him to do that for me and this thing is wonderful and to think it was 8 bucks!

That's a good husband you've got there... :)

Sounds like he's definitely a keeper. We've been married 31 years this week but I don't think my hubby would be THAT helpful. Lol

Well I truely believe when you love someone and choose to marry them, these are some of the things one SHOULD DO. I am glad you have him.

Not TMI really - it's great info for this forum.

RNY, other surgeies, and just poor health in general, do a lot to the human body.

When I was thin once, I was in a terrible accident and had many dilemmas when I got home that I've never talked about EVER - they were kept between my husband and I; so I admire you for talking about that here. But I can tell you that I'd do the same for him. :wub:

      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.
