"honey, I'm home" ..... from the Clinic



Recommended Posts

Hello Lauren, DonnaN, Kathybad, BIG WAVE DAVE and everyone else who's names I can't rember.:think

I am 8 hours post op.. Everything went well at TLBC... a bit of gas pain in my shoulder, but not too much to complian about otherwise.

I just made my phone c alls to family and friends to let them know I am o..k. then I'm off to bed.

Dr. Yau was very nice and explained so much for me...definetly "I" have all the answers now ... LOL

While waiting for my Op I got to meet DONNAD in the flesh... that was so great. Last night I got to meet KathyBad... this is too cool to meet the very people you've been chatting to these last couple of weeks.

Thank everyone on these boards who let me read their stuff and answer my questions and concerns.

It really did mean a lot to have CANDID, and unsolicited information ahead of time.

Nite, nite

Hi all, feeling good except for gas... but its not bad really...

Crushed my GasX and now I am f@rting (sorry,gross) but with each one I feel a wee bit better..

Had some consume this a.m. with my multivit, zoloft when I crusched them all together it made it more palatable.

Jello later on....

All is good

Hi Peaches. Glad things went well for you. Welcome to the banded side. You can get gasX chewables they are yummy and feel like a treat. Walk around a bit it really does help with the gas. I'm with Lisa in Toronto - let 'er rip baby!! Rest up, its all up hill from here.

      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.
