Recommended Posts

I am 3 days post-op and feeling good! I am not going to weigh myself until my post-op appointment on the 5th.

Anyone else get sleeved on 4/24?

Well this is it....I'm about T minus 12 hours before arriving at the hospital. So much to do tonight that I couldn't get to as I was trying to rest to fight off this cold. Silly question....I know they say no nail polish. Does that include toes to?

That includes toes :-)

I got a pedicure the day before and just had them buffed and they looked nice and shiny.

They did not tell me anything about polish nail or otherwise. I was at the hospital getting blood types for my surgery in the morning and they said nothing about my fingers or toes. My fingers are pretty obvious.

Dont be surprised if you wake and one is missing. The polish interferes with the oxygen monitor.

Well, this is it. I'm finally going to bed. Can't believe the time has come. Excited, nervous, and now second guessing myself although I know in my heart that this journey is very necessary. I'll post as much as possible as soon as I can. Praying for the remaining April preop team! May we all have safe, uneventful transitions to the post op side.

I believe you are up first for today! You will do great! I will be praying for you. I think if we weren't second guessing, we wouldn't be taken this process seriously. I thought I would be more nervous than I am but I believe the peace of God is making things better. I am

      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.
