Prayer Needed~Newbie RNY~Dialation



Recommended Posts

Hi all, tomorrow morning I will have a scope to dilate where the stomach and the intestines are now connected. I have not been able to br ogress to regular foods because most everything puréed I up chuck. The barium swallow revealed it is to tight at this connection. I am a little worried my food will go right through after dilation. Therefore, I will be hungry cause it goes through smoothly. Anyone heard of this? Any thoughts? Please pray IV goes in on 1st stick. This place has the hardest time with me and I have not been able to get the recommended liquid intake. Thanks Everyone!!

I had the same problem! Tebowfan it will be over before you know it and it will help tremendously! i have had two strictures and two dilations. It will allow food to pass through normally, not to shoot through it and make you hungry! It is all good and this will help! Message me if you want.

Chin up tebowfan!

Try to push liquid today so they will have an easier time to find your veins and successfully start an IV! Very important for you right now to drink as much as you can. No excuse, ok?

Do not worry about the dilation, for most patients they often need to even repeat the procedure so I doubt they will make it too big...

Oh, I'm a terrible IV stick too so I know that anxiety. I'm glad it went smoothly for you. It's so hard to get the IV when you're dehydrated.

It is going well. I haven't tried solids yet, but it seems like I'm more hungry. Probably my Tom though, lol. I have eaten puréed homemade Soup I made and tried chili puréed, which was something new and did great.

He took biopsies and I will get those results the first week of July. The dilation must have worked!

Thank you for checking up on my. It means a lot!

      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.
