Feeling Blessed Surgery Date of 7/7/17



Recommended Posts

Im 36 years old. I started my journey January 2017 when I asked my PCP for a bariatric surgery refferal. For the past 2 years I've been at my highest weight of 333lbs at 5'7". I'm so excited to begin actually living and not just existing!

Hi,
I met with my surgeon on Friday (06-16-17). They booked me for surgery right after the appointment. My surgery is scheduled for July 20th. I'm in Massachusetts.

Hi I had a very rough night my surgery went well yesterday. I'm still in the hospital now, and they might keep me longer. I'm unable to hold my Water sips down. However this evening I'm feeling slightly better.

Hi everyone! I'm checking in, as this is day 5 still in the hospital. My swallow test/x-ray showed a complication, so I went back the OR yesterday for another upper endoscope. The result showed a stitch was causing a small kink in my sleeve. After this fix, I have turned the corner for recovery! I'm now able to keep Clear Liquids down, which is magical!! Shout out to my bariatric team, they are truly amazing! I'm probably going home today!!!!

      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.
