In Hosp waiting to be sleeved



Recommended Posts

I'm in a gown just waiting to start my journey. This has been a life changing experience so far. I am a bone cancer survivor & in remission as of 2 yrs, 5 mos and feel this surgery will help get me to my pre-cancer weight. It was a 3yr fight with chemo & the amputation of my leg at cancer site. Due to loss of mobility, constant hospital stays & steroids I actually gained weight. I am very active with 3 kids & cycling helps but need additional help shedding this weight as I don't want to have beaten cancer only to die later due to being fat.

Took me a while to write back as my backpack was locked away. I feel good, was nauseous when I woke from surgery & when I drank 5 cal lemonade (too sweet). Allot of pressure no real pain & walking a lap felt great. Thx for all the good wishes

      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.
