Boo Boo Kitty's PS Journey



Recommended Posts

BBK,

I am wondering how you are doing with swelling. You seem to be one of the only people whose Dr. doesn't have them slapped into a binder. I think your Dr. said it was better for blood supply to the incision site. How's it going? Do you think the lack of binder is making you swell more or less than the other folks? I know it's proably hard to make a comparison like that, but I am trying to prepare for my eventaul PS and would like to get more info on life without a binder.

You look great!

Thanks Foofy

I think the swelling is going ok. I have more on the right side than the left side still. I really don't have anything to compare it to though. I tried wearing Spanx for 1 day and got all freaked out and ditched it. I can say that I hurt a lot still. When I sneeze I want to cry. I definately think there are many times when I have needed the support of a binder, but alas as much as I don't like him I still follow my Dr's orders. (Am I a dork?)

I can say that I can wear a bikini now. I have one that hides the line and it looks good. No swelling hanging out anywhere! :)

Hello all

Just got off the phone with the Dr's office. I am having a Hernia Physical on the 21st for the port replacement. They are calling it a hernia for insurance reasons I guess. WHATEVER they want to call it, I just want it fixed!

I will go see the Bariatric Surgeon on the 21st and should get my surgery date then. Ah, all seems so long to wait! :biggrin:

I'm still a "C" just a deflated one now. It doesn't matter if I weigh 300 or 150 I have always been a "C" cup.... I think I will get a small implant to fill out deflation.

I am very deflated too. It would be nice to get implants, but I paid enough for this surgery and I really don't have the money to spend on

boobs. My daughter is a DDD. She had Gbypass and her boobs look like

tube socks.

      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.
