Just Back from Monterrey



Recommended Posts

We Just got home from Monterrey. It was 3 fast days. We got there 7pm sunday. I had surgery monday at 8AM and Deb was at 10AM. We both have done well. Deb is dealing with reflux. I am sore around the port. The Hospital and Doctor was great. I return back the work tonight. We have been walking alot to get ride of the gas and it seems to be working.

Wow - you guys are certainly busy! I wish I had someone to walk with me when I came home.

Pardon us if we're a little bit jealous of having your 'band buddy' live with you!

Honestly- this is great. I'm happy for both of ou.

      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.
