Surgery now scheduled for Aug 9, 2017



Recommended Posts

I have my surgery date for Aug 9. July 24 I have lab work drawn, Drs. Pre-op visit, and pre-op class. I'm committed and excited. I will also schedule a PICC line placement in radiology on the 8th prior to surgery due to 1/2 of my lymph nodes removed on the left side 6/2010 due to metastatic breast cancer. 7 years clear of cancer!

Time for a slimmer more active life. Fibromyalgia pain easing up.

Good luck to you too.

My problem is stopping all over the counter supplements which includes Advil, aspirin and turmeric I take every day for fibromyalgia pain. My chiropractor recommended 3 homeopathic oral sprays for pain relief, allergies and ER 911 for emotional stress relief. I am taking them in to my surgeon on the 24 for my pre-op appointment for his ok.

I've also purchased a concentrated topical spray Therapain to replace the 4,000 mg of MSM I've taken since the 1990's for stiffness and pain. All of this needs his approval.

i also use a lot of topical essential oils too.

      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.
