Low Key about Surgery



Recommended Posts

I was dreading telling my husband...then my dr recommended the surgery for PCOS so then I felt better. He is deployed so that was an awkward texting conversation lol. Maybe I’ll be the BEST version of me when October rolls around! [emoji177][emoji631]




Texting about making a surgery decision - you are doing what you gotta do to get the ball rolling. I appreciate what you and your husband have done to protect my freedoms. Thank you so much.

My son is in the Army. Joined when he was 18 yo and I worried about him. He's served almost 5 years and will be finished this summer. Those serving face a lot over their service time.

Wishing you much success and please give your husband my thanks. [emoji253][emoji631]

Thank you and tell your son thank you for us as well. This is almost 26 years for my husband and 4 deployments (national guard) but he says this is his last one. He is also army. I have a son in the navy stationed in Japan. I feel like my guys are all over the place lol I still have three boys at home...I can’t wait to be the best I can be for them...they really really need me present in all capacity right now. What did your son do in the army?

I am a manager where I work and everyone under me knows the struggles I have had over the years with my weight. One day in a meeting with them I told them I was going to be off for a couple weeks to have surgery. The looks on their faces looked like gloom and doom. We are a very close group and a few days later in another meeting I just decided to lay it out on the table and to my surprise some of them started crying. They thought I was dying or something and did not want to tell them. They have been my biggest support group and now I am glad I spoke up. My husband and daughters knew as soon as I made the decision to pursue the surgery and they too have been very supportive but my siblings did not know until after surgery because I knew the comments I would get.

      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.
