TAKING CARE OF YOU !



Recommended Posts

I am 8 mnths out of surgery, no complications, great weight loss 113lbs. But in this last month i have been rushing all the time working out hard at the gym, not getting proper rest. Well guess what this landed me in the hospital Wednesday night with, multiple gallstones, gall bladder removal and severe dehydration. It took 6 bags of iv fluids before i even pee'd and now on bag ten and still not fully hydrated. All this could have been avoided had i just taken care of me an extra few minutes. But was sipping on kids sodas, nibbling on their burgers. So let me be a living example of how your doctors diet plan is important and so is Water water water, i.will be back to my gallon a day for life when i get released from the hospital! SO SLEEVERS TAKE CARE OF YOU, WE MADE IT THIS FAR LETS NOT DAMAGE OUR SELVES BY NEGLIGENCE :)

Thank goodness you are okay. I have noticed that I have not been paying attention to my Fluid intake like I should an I am only four months out. By 8 months I can see how easy it can be to become distracted and lose focus. Thank you for the reminder! Now take care of you!

      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.
