Surgery on Monday Nov 19



Recommended Posts

Well, I'm getting ready for my surgery in the AM. I have to be at the hospital at 6:30. Surgery is at 9:30. I'm excited and scared. I'll be glad to get on with my life.

It's been less than a week for my DH and I can already tell a difference.

Wendy - As I write this you are in the hospital. I pray that all went fine and that you'll be home soon. We're thinking about you & all of our fellow bandsters.

Let us know how you are doing when you feel up to it. I'm going to get mine tomorrow. Words of advice?

Take Care!

Judy

I think I was doing to much this morning, because that was bleeding.</p> <p> </p> <p>Thanks for all the toughts. I'm going to be ready to go tomorrow. Lots of errands to run.</p> <p> </p> <p>Question, did you all feel dried out. I guess that is the hydrocodone that they gave to me. I can't seem to get enough to drink.</p>

      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?

      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.
