sister on way for WLS.

@RJ'S/beginning

i can only imagine your concern for your sister :blink:

she is totally aware that complications can and do happen :wacko:

hopefully the rule of thumb.....

only one person per family can have WLS problems ;)

she's lucky to have help/support from you :)

hope things go well for her

RJS - hope things are going your way/improving?

good thoughts and luck sent to you both :)

speedy recovery :)

Thank you all. Your wonderful. I would think that with it all she would have run the other way. But no...She sees how different I am and wants that for herself. I am so proud of her. and hopefully you are right. One nut job per family...me! I want her to have it like Lipsticklady......smooth and easy......

I can hardly breath..

On another note. My butt is doing great. See the Doc on Fri. To find out if he is happy with the fix he gave me.....

Surgery done. They were way behind so it was not done until late afternoon. There is a 3 hour difference between our time zones so I do not know anything more then it was successful. YEAH! Can't wait to find out how she is doing today.

Don't know what surgery she had either. They had her down for the by pass. But a possible sleeve.

Cute though I guess even in a groggy state she told her hubby to make sure he called me. he laughed when he told me that......Oh I have such fear and happiness for her. It is almost unbearable! :mellow:

RJ you have been in my thoughts a great deal and even more now that your sister has recently joined the losers bench. I have only best wishes and prayers for both of you. Funny how we worry even more for our family members then we do even for ourselves. My daughters are scheduled for surgery with Dr. Ariel Ortiz in Mexico on Monday. I was a lucky survivor of this surgery. No real issues. I pray and pray that my girls are as lucky. Going to Mexico adds another element of anxiety but I do believe they are in good hands. I HAVE to believe that to survive this!

Please keep us up to speed on how your sister is doing. She is so lucky to have such a caring, kind, and loving person for a sister. I mean that. You have been an inspiration for all of us on this site. Good luck to both of you!!!! Glad your butt is healing well!!! ????.

Thank you so much for your kind words. They mean a lot to me..... @@jjinWA My sister had the Gastric bypass. Came through it like a trooper. Had the leak test and passed with flying colors and is coming home today...They want her to start fluids. Real broth as she has been on a Protein shake diet for 3 months. I admire her grit and dedication to do that a lone!

Can't wait to talk to her..... :) I'm excited for her to say the least!

Talked to my sister. She comes home tomorrow. Oxygen levels a little low so they are keeping her over night....she is fine though and feeling great. Had pureed barley Soup for dinner. I said she has to be kidding...she said she had 2 sips.

I told her that she should only be on liquids not purees. Dam them...she said she goes home tomorrow and will stick to broths and other liquids for a few weeks. I thanked hand told her that it is wise and I explained why....

She said thanks mom....lol

      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.
