On my way to the hospital



Recommended Posts

Having my sleeve this morning here in Houston, have to be there 5:30am. As of this morning I've lost 38 lbs since starting all the prep testing and whatnot. Ive checked off all my to-do items so I guess that means I'm as prepared as I can be. Wish me luck!

How are you doing buddy?

Guys it's been tough. I've been puking and the pain is crazzzzzzy.




Sorry to hear you're having a rough time! I had dry heaves in the hospital and was given something for nausea. That helped a lot. I had some pretty decent pain from a deep stitch that I had. I imagine you have told a dr or nurse about your pain and nausea. I have no advice but am sending you positive vibes and best wishes! Hang in there!

Its been really rough. Lots of nausea and dry heaving (which makes my incisions hurt a lot). They have tried like 5 different meds and now its toned down but not gone. Finally getting in some broth since I only had ice chips up till now.

I heard from a lot of people day two is worse and I am praying that's not true for me. Thanks for the thoughts and well wishes, I can use all the help I can get.

I'm doing much better. They finally got my naseoua under control and that made all the difference. I was released last night and was excited to be home

But of course now Houston is expecting a hurricane and my well laid out recovery plan has gone out the window. I have to figure out where I'm willing to evacuate to since the roommates who were going to be my caretakers this week are leaving town. Perfect timing!

So other than all this drama I'm trying to focus on my liquids and staying hydrated. I dont know what full feels like yet so still not pushing things. Glad to hear you are doing better.

      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.
