Calling January Sleever????



Recommended Posts

I'm scheduled for Jan 7th with Dr. Ariel Ortiz. I have to switch from Atkins to 3 shakes a day with unlimited veggies tomorrow. I've got 5 lbs left to lose before surgery. I've also been having some trouble finding an incentive spirometer at the stores. Where'd you find one and how much did you pay?

So today is my first day on my official preop diet it is going just fine although I thought I was tired before oh man I'm really tired now. I feel like someone put a sleeping pill in everything I drink. I think it is kinda due to lack of carbs but I will get through it and just deal. I hope you ladies are having an easier time then me about it. 3 wks and one day til surgery ugh hurry up December!

Welcome to the world of a narcoleptic sister! Well sort of. Definitely the tired all day part. I'll probably be catatonic when I start my liquids tomorrow.

Tentatively scheduled for the 12th. I got approved by my current insurance toward the end of dec. but come January we have a new insurance. So here is hoping that the approval gets transferred easily enough.

mmm so this morning I was doing nothing and got an itch in my belly button and noticed a small lump in my belly button a painful one. I think I might have a umbilical hernia...this will really suck if I have one cause I can not have surgery with it. I will have to push mine off for awhile. Guess I'll know before my date is set.

      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.
