Pre Op Testing Done



Recommended Posts

HI Guys:

Wanted to update everyone. Well I had my preop testing done this morning and then went back to work.

The upper GI sucks that is all I can say, I still feel like I want to vomit from it. I have done nothing but drink Water like mad all day long and still no stool....LOL

They found a small hital hernia and my nurse at my surgeons office said it will not be a problem at all. They also found that I have reflux. I do not think that was a big surprise.

So I am all done with that and now I see my Dr. next Thursday for my last visit before the Big Banding Day!!!!!

I am so excited to be this close.

Hope all the rest of my November partners are doing well out there.

Hugz,

Kristin:rain:

Sorry about this question Kristin but what are you having surgery on? It says that you were banded Nov. 9th on your ticker yet you say that you have a big banding day coming up. I imagine that you've been posting about something that happened with your band? Complications? Just catching up. I was banded Nov. 5th and have lost 22 pounds. You've lost an amazing amount, good for you. I bet you feel awesome too. You go girl! I can't wait to be 217 myself. 8 more pound to go!! Take care, Dianne

      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.
