February Surgeries

[shmily 424]

I am scheduled for 2 weeks, Feb 26. I started my pre iop diet today. I think I may starve! LOL. If you had to do a Protein Shake pre op, what kind did you use???

I used Muscle Milk powder in the blender with ice and unsweetened vanilla almond milk. Yum yum! Sometimes I added a scoop of Peanut Butter. I enjoyed it.

I know the preop diet is a pain. My one big piece of advice is do it. I truthfully didn't stick to mine and the adjustment to NO food and NO choice about it is very hard. If I had followed the preop diet better, this hurdle would be partially jumped over.

Hey February guys, surgery 2-4, today had post-op MD visit and all is well, Normal sore throat, normal left abd pain, normal weakness and fatigue. Staples look good, come out next week. Advanced me from full liquids to mushy pureed foods including cheese!! Had refried Beans and cheese for lunch, trying for turkey chili for dinners (pureed),

shmily, I drink Premier Protein. I love the taste.

Down to counting hours to surgery, less than 36 hours to go.

Just checked e-mail Pam got her date for her RNY...3/28. I am so excited for her. I will be 6 weeks post-op. She will know exactly what to expect.

I really hope tomorrow is better. Today was really hard. On the upside I'm down 7 lbs since Thursday yay!!

But dang it I'm still wanting avocado. Maybe once the puréed stage comes it won't be as bad

We started in March of '13 and it has taken until now to jump thru all the hoops for insurance. I will let you know what goes on as I start this new lifestyle.
