Surgery finally scheduled! But i think i have a sinus infection



Recommended Posts

So Aetna finally approved my sleeve for May 29. Been on preop diet since last Thursday and it's been ok. But I am pretty sure I have a sinus infection now :( with the weather back and forth lately my allergies have come and gone now for a while. This weekend I have felt achy had low grade fever and sinuses feel sore, etc.etc.

UPDATE: So I guess this posted before I was done with original post. I was going to ask advice on seeing my primary doc for treating sinus infection, as it turns out, I did that Monday :) Sure enough- sinus infection and Z pack.

Yay Slimindown! We can def cheer each other on! How is your pre-op diet going? First few days were tough, then it got much easier... until I went to a major league baseball game with my family lol. I had my Water and Protein and stuff, so I was good- but all around me people eating nachos, chili dogs, ice cream, drinking beer lol it was a bit trying!

Lol that's good if you didn't cheat. Good willpower. :-) As far as the diet I haven't had to do one. I am only required to do a one day Clear Liquids the day before surgery. I guess I got lucky. But I have just yesterday cut out all badness. No more fries or burgers. Today I had a shake for Breakfast and then a huge salad for lunch. So I'm trying myself to loose 10lbs before surgery which is next thrush at as you are fully aware of. As we have the same date.. :-) lol. Wishful thinking maybe but I'm gonna do good. WE are going to do great. Nice to chat with you. :-)

      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.
