Surgery tomorrow (30/Mar/15



Recommended Posts

Brmbrown, like you say everyone's experience is different but given how I am feeling and am prepared with my food and how to eat/drink you just may be okay after 6 days (incl. weekend) to return to your admin job. I will say though that if you feel you aren't ready, don't push it. Listen to your body as this is major surgery and you want to heal well and have a great start to your new healthy life. Please let me know how you and your husband are coming along after your procedures.

I surprised myself today feeling good enough to strip the bed and wash bedding. It was raining so tomorrow I'll hang sheets on the line. Small chores and resting in between. Funny thing is i feel more like doing stuff than i have in months.

That's exactly what I am doing to...have a load of laundry going now. I gotta say I am a bit bored but am determined to continue to take it easy and heal properly. Tomorrow I may go a friend's house and sit by the pool with her........what's the difference between sitting here and sitting there for a couple of hours!?! :)

Well if you are sitting by the pool I am officially jealous! Spring is taking way too long to come to us this year.

      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.
