Funny story for today



Recommended Posts

So I received a "get well" present from an old co- worker while I'm home recovering from revision surgery from band to sleeve. It was a box of chocolates!! I figured you all would get a laugh out of this one. Oh - she did know about the revision surgery also

I couldn't help but laugh. I put it away for now, will open when I have company on a future date. Can't re-gift because she wrote my name on the wrapper lol. She did buy "dark chocolate candies " to be healthier.

Ha ha. Here's another one- 8 days post op I went to get a haircut. While in the chair, a guy in the salon was offering my hairdresser a truffle from a box of chocolates. He's holding the box next to my head, then pulls out the candy chart and has it in front of my face. I was like - WTF? Then he offered me one and I kept declining and he kept getting me to try one. I finally told him why I was declining and he was so sweet - looked shocked and said " you don't look heavy enough to need weight loss surgery"

Actually you can freeze them and take out one a few months from now to have as a treat. I hardly touch sweets (they were my addiction) but have found I can have a small piece of candy now and then and one is all I want. And I can take it or leave it. Addiction whipped.

I am on day 5 post op, and I have found that even the most well intentioned people have a difficult time grasping the concept of all liquids, no solids. They just don't get it.

When I had my RNY, I was wheeled to my hospital room right after surgery, and my hospital roommate immediately turned on the food Network channel and watched it for like 6 hours straight. That was swell! ????

      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.
