Recommended Posts

My surgery is scheduled and on the books for 11/8. But after forgetting about a stress test prescribed by the cardiologist in July and then vaca and then a 7mm kidney stone with infection/sepsis included....I finally got the stress test done today. Fingers and toes are crossed for all to be ok and surgery date to stay on the schedule!!!!!

I so want to be surgery buddies!!! And yes, the whole kidney thing was so awful! It set me back 6-8 weeks with getting my sleeve surgery. (But it did help my deductible AND out of pocket max get met so the sleeve surgery will be covered!!)

I will also be traveling by myself. It will just make it easier. I don't want to have to feel like I need to entertain anyone while I'm trying to rest and recover.

      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.
