Recommended Posts

Hello all. I know should probably be sleeping right now seeing that I have to be at the hospital at 5:30 am. I am so nervous. This has been an almost two year process and it's finally happening. No more playing off the heavy girl jokes and laughing along no more panting for air because you can't walk up the steps at work I know it will not be easy but I am so ready to begin this amazing journey. Wish me luck everyone..... I just don't know how I'm goin to sleep tonight

No worries, you'll get to take a nap for an hour or so around 5:30 am tomorrow :D

Check back when you're on the other side, K?

Bibi<3 you need to just get up and walk a bit in the house, but rest as much as you can sweetie...make sure you are sipping on something all day, okay!!! take the meds that were given to you...for the first few days and the pain will ease up. Let me know if you need anything...best wishes.

Definitely move around to get the gas out. It should be all gone by day 4 and you will feel much better! I made sure to take my pain meds like clock work and I wasn't shy about asking for more when I ran out because I was still in pain

You are so right I'm on day 4 and I feel so much better I think I'm kinda gettin the hang on it now. I stepped on the scale just to take and peek and noticed I lost 5 pounds since Wednesday. I am so determined more than ever now to keep going with guns blazing. Thank you all for your kind words and great advice ❤️

      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.
