Funny Story



Recommended Posts

Funny story... Last night I when laying on my back I thought I found a bump on my left side by my incision and started freaking out until I felt my right side and realized it had one also. I was feeling my ribs. For the first time in a long time I can feel my ribs with out pressing extra hard. It's amazing what 48 pounds has done.

Congrats! I made the same mistake. I woke up and felt a hard lump on my side. When I pressed on it, I realized it was my ribs! When you start feeling the car seat press on your butt bone, let us know! :-P I started feeling that new sensation about a month ago.

My Surgeon examining/feeling me for cancer after seeing my mammogram felt mine with surprised expression on her face. Another puzzled question came from the people viewing the cat-scan at my local hospital. They don't schedule much bariatric surgery in my low population part of the state, so my placement was done in a specialty hospital 200 miles away. It took me several moments to realize they were encountering my band! I go for days not thinking of it. I kind of chuckled at myself!

      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.
