New Years In the Hospital! 12.30.16



Recommended Posts

My surgery is scheduled! This seems too unreal like something will go wrong. I'm so excited and nervous at the same time.

Does anyone know what the pre-testing is for?? I have pre-testing 3 days before

Any 12.30.16 sleevers?

I believe the pretesting is for blood work.

And try not to be nervous, and each time that thought arise, which I experienced often too prior to my surgery, PRAY PRAY PRAY......

I ALMOST CANCELLED AT THE HOSPITAL, BUT I'M GLAD I DIDN'T.

      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.
