Recommended Posts

I saw a few posts up some stuff on the sleep study. My doctor made me go through that because that is what she does with all of her patients. She even said that she did not believe I had apnea and I have never had a problem with snoring. I'm the end, I do have apnea and now a cpap. I notice a difference in how rested I feel. Bizarre.

I did a sleep study. It said I didn't have sleep apnea, but I did have a mild upper respiratory sleep disruption...

I had surgery last Tuesday. That nght in the hospital, I set off my oxygen sensors 3 times before they put me on oxygen. I took it off twice in my sleep, and both times, I set off the alarms again.

I can't even seem to wait until next Tuesday, I don't know how I am going to survive till September! hahahah!

What are you guys doing to prepare?

Stocking up on anything?

Every time I am at the store I pick up broth or a pack of Jello. I haven't gotten into any serious preparations yet.

Surreal is a good choice of words to describe it all.

Slow motion.

I have ordered samples for just about every Protein Powder made. I want to try them all before my surgery to see what I like. I know everyone says your tastes may change post op but I don't want to be starving and not like what I have on hand. Does that sound insane?

      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.
