Recommended Posts

Thinking about you McLosin :)

Thank you. I'm still waiting, Dr has been backed up, hopefully it will be shortly. Nerves are there, but not too bad. I'm more worried about the days ahead. I am moving soon and have to be out of our current house by April 1st. And our new house needs some improvements......sigh!

wow you have alot going on. I'm looking to move too. but i'm planning on doing it around the end of May beginning of June. If I did that now i'd be wanted to unpack the house and move boxes and I know I shouldn't be doing that.

My neice is 6 weeks out and her surgery was scheduled for 10:30 am and she went in about 1:30. between not being able to eat or drink anything and just the wait that's torture. but it's understandable. it's a hospital after all.

I hope you're in there soon. :)

I'm in my room finally. Got here at like 6 EST. Extremely tired and my upper stomach has bad gas pains. So far my incisions feel fine. I mainly feel tired, thirsty (cotton mouth), and gassy. They say they'll send me home 2mrw.

I hope everyone that had it recently is doing well.

      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.
