Recommended Posts

I'm so nervous and excited! I have chickened out 3 times before!!!! The first two, I didn't get far in the process. I just wasn't ready. The last one was suppose to be June 2, 2016, but my husband was so emotional and scared that I canceled the night before surgery. (His coworker's daughter had just passed after having sleeve complications 3 wks post-op.)

I feel we are both ready now. I will say, before this coworker situation I was anxious about the post-op recovery, but I knew I would be ok. Now all I'm worried about is death and complications! PRAY for me and anyone who is having surgery today. I report to the hospital at 10:30.

Thank you all for your prayers and positive energy. I'm still sitting in pre-op waiting for surgery. I'm definitely feeling more positive on the future outcome. I have put it in God's hands and have faith it will be great. ❤️????????

She had a leak and wasn't diagnosed until too late. She became septic pullout, then had a perforated intestine and feel back into septic. She also didn't follow her post op diet.

      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.
