Uh-Oh...i'm Getting Sick And Its 8 Days Til Surgery



Recommended Posts

Just my luck. Lastnight I noticed that my throat was getting very scratchy. Tonight when I woke up before coming to work I noticed that my throat was hurting terribly and my nose is stuffy. WTH?!?!?

Hope this doesn't effect my surgery. :wacko:

If you are full blown sick it probably will. Take extra good care of yourself and rest as much as you can... good luck!

I go to my PCM tomorrow for my labs and referrals to the Cardiology, Pulmonology, Gastro, and Psych. Hopefully I can get appointments sooner rather than later. I am hoping for a January surgery date. Keep your fingers crossed for me. Thank you for asking.

I've been petrified of the SAME thing now that I'm only a couple days away from my surgery. I've been trying to drink as much Water as I can, REST as much as I can and am constantly washing my hands and using Wet Ones! Take some sugar free Vitamin C drops and keep drinking lots of water. I think you will be okay!

      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.
