Betty's Surgery



Recommended Posts

I will be leaving for the hospital about 4:30 in the morning, my things are all packed except for a few things I have to use in the morning.

I kept extremely busy all weekend to not worry so much, and it worked pretty good.

I will let y'all know as soon as I can how things went.

Thanks again for all the encouragement and support y'all have given to me.

Well, Betty Boop, you probably won't get much sleep tonight. But that's normal! I know you're nervous about your surgery, but excited about your new journey as a Bandster. May God hold you safely in the palm of his hand! Please give your husband a big hug for us. I know the next few days will be long and tiring for him. But remind him that he will reap the benefits of a healthier, more energetic YOU - very, very soon! Love you lots girl!

      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.
