15 more days due to bad cold. This sucks.



Recommended Posts

Just felt like posting my woe. My surgery for revision was for tomorrow but since I am sick it got postponed until the 30th. I guess I am happy I won't be coughing and have a sore throat during recovery, but this still sucks. Also I will be in full on stomach mode during Christmas on a liquid diet. I would have been on liquids anyways but at least with the motivation of sudden death to curb my appetite.....lol.....but seriously. Also, I did a whole pre op day of labs and ekg classes yada yada.....that were for nothing. Well, I hope at least some of the tests are still good until the 30th....Maybe?? Anyways woe is me. Shed a tear for my Christmas, but I guess I will literally be starting the New year on a good path now. End of my pity party.

At my hospital pre-op visit they said labs and EKG had to be within 30 days, so hopefully you are still in that time frame. My date is the 30th as well and I have literally been walking away from sick co-workers, I want a quarantine sign for my cube because if I get delayed I have to pay more out of pocket due to new insurance year.

My stepdaughter brought the black death into my house so I couldn't have walked away from the impending doom. My baby is sick too now as we both are up sniffling and coughing right now. ???? And a relaxed focused surge is the best kind to have! Good luck to you both!

      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.
