Yesterday (12/3) Was My Surgery Date......yaaaaaaaaay!



Recommended Posts

Yesterday was an awesome day, I was sleeved. I was a bit nervous but definitely more excited! Everything seemed to move so quick that I didn't time time to stay nervous. When I came to in the recovery room I felt like I'd been hit by a truck but that feeling went away quickly. There was, however, a girl next to me that screamed the whole time and that was pretty annoying. I started walking last night and have been walking periodically every chance I get. Overall I have some soreness and a bit of pain but feel great. I'm look forward to beginning my new life. Yay!!!!!!!

      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.
