Recommended Posts

My surgery is tmrw and even though I am excited I am nervous as well. I am looking forward to the changes that are coming in my life and very excited to the new journey.

Heavenly Father, please give your LadyPoet peace and calm as she goes to the hospital tomorrow. Let all who see her prepare for this new chapter know that You are in control. I pray for discernment and wisdom for her doctors. I pray for a swift and uncomplicated recovery. Let her be a beautiful example for all she will accomplish.

Asked in your son's name.

I'm wondering how you are doing too @ladypoet. I'm in Tijuana! The medical center is very nice. Hotel is great. Met the staff and Dr. Ortiz. My bloodwork, ECG, and meeting with nutritionist went well. The hotel serves complimentary broths, popsicles and Water for your stay. Everyone from our driver from the airport to the nurses to Dr. Ortiz has been incredibly friendly and accommodating and overall I feel very ready and assured that surgery tomorrow will go well. I will let everyone know my status tomorrow evening. Hope we hear from LadyPoet soon!

I'm sleeved! It was a rough first 12 hours because the anesthesia made me very dizzy and nauseous. Dr Ortiz and his whole staff at OCC are AWESOME!!

      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.
