Since my doc gave me a "gift", I gave her one too...



Recommended Posts

I had posted these on FB but thought I'd share with this group. I truly see my sleeve as a gift - to treasure - to nurture - to respect. So I decided to give my surgeon a gift, as well. I made her some Cookies. I gave them to her in pre-op when she came to talk to us. She was so excited she tweeted about them immediately. I also made trays of the same cookies for pre-op, recovery and the nurses on my floor. Everyone was so appreciative. If you look closely, there are little tic marks on the edges where the "sleeve" is cut -- to sort of look like staple marks. :) Now if only they were healthier!!

Thanks everyone! 10 days post op - feeling ok - better when I'm sitting than standing. But getting better. I think my lungs are getting stronger (I have atechtasis - where my alveoli in my left lung aren't inflating). Lots of spirometer therapy.

Please give me your frosting recipe! I loved making rolled Cookies but your icing job is a work of art

      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.
