Surgery in the MORNING!



Recommended Posts

I'm surprisingly relaxed. I am going through Mexico Bariatric Center. The Hyatt hotel is very nice. Everyone is very friendly. The coordinator Jesus, is very friendly, post-270922-14559542705933_thumb.jpg post-270922-14559542905911_thumb.jpgprompt, speaks very proper English. I have not encountered any type of language barrier. I feel safe, there are wonderful restaurants (which of course I have not eaten from) There is a grocery store next to the hotel in case you need something.

Had lab work and EKG today at Mi Doctor Hospital. Carla is very nice, speaks English perfectly, and accompanied me during my lab work. Having surgery in TJ Tomm morning. I've been on liquids for three days. Ready to no be hungry. Lol

Hope everything goes well. I am 5 days post op and I am hungry ALL THE TIME. My stomach even growls during and after eating. This is hard to deal with.Feels like I haven't eaten in a month. Following my program and getting all my Water and Protein in. Hope you come out of surgery not being hungry! This is miserable.

Surgery went well. I have shoulder and upper back pain but that is to be expected. My husband is massaging my back so that feels nice. Thank goodness no nausea just tired. Been walking after every trip to the bathroom so I get things moving.

      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.
