Stress Test Ordered



Recommended Posts

WOO HOO I was cleared yesterday 4 surgery, my heart is excellent and everything else looks great!!

I am finishing day three of Clear Liquids and it is truly no fun.......I am so sick of broth and Jello and I hate Jello to begin with,.......LOL

Friday cannot come quickly enough for me....it seems like I have been waiting so long.

I am having diarreah on this diet though, and that also sucks big time since I am still working.....LOL

I will work clear up til surgery.

How is everyone doing that has already been banded this month? Longhorn, Vanessa? you guys doing alright?

It was a little tough going back to work today. I wish I had cancelled tutoring and just taught my one class. If you have a job where you mostly sit at a desk, especially with a little privacy in case you need to put your head down, you'll be fine five days after surgery. But I had to go from table to table, tutoring students in math and it wore me out more than I expected. Then I locked my keys in the car at a stop on the way to my class and by the time I got that taken care of, it was too late to get to class so I had to cancel.

I teach three classes tomorrow but I have about 2.5 hours between classes when I can rest so I think I'll be okay. I'm probably going to cancel tutoring on Thursday to give myself one more day and then I'll have Friday, Saturday and Sunday to rest up some more.

I hope all are doing okay!

Vanessa and Longhorn so glad to hear that you both are back at work and doing great!!

That is such a positive sign for those of us left to undergo the banding. I am so ready, this working while on clear liquids is so hard I had no idea how hard...LOL I am doing great though.

I know I am losing lots of weight I just don;t know how much cause I am not letting myself get on the scale until Friday.

I find out tomorrow what time the surgery will be on Friday and I will be back here to post when I can.

Keep smiling and loving the band ladies!! I think you both are doing awesome.

      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.
