Really bummed



Recommended Posts

Was all set for my surgery on Mon. the 29th, pending ok by a cardiologist. Had to get a nuculear stress test. So I went to get the results today and get my ok for surgery and the nuculear part of the test came back abnormal:cry and the stress part was not in yet. So we had to cancel surgery and reschedule pending cardiologst ok. I go Mon. to get the stress results. This happened to me 3 years ago, I had a nuculear done it came back abnormal so they did a cath....and my heart was normal, so they called the cardiologst that did my cath to get the records and they will compare them, if it looks like the same thing they will more than likely ok it, otherwise I will have to have another cath done....arrrrggg!;) I have been on the pre-op diet for 2 weeks now who knows how long I will have to be on the "pre-op" diet:cry

      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.
