Liquid Diet Rant

[awesomemom 0]

Why 11 days of liquids? I am on day one or just two days, before surgery on 1/23/08.

I was on 14 days of liquids before the surgery. Each doctor has their own reasons and rules.

I am on my 2 week pre-op Optifast diet and my doctor wants 2 weeks optifast after the surgery. Yesterday durning the football games my mind kept telling me to just have something, but I kept from cheating and stayed with the optifast. My surgery is Thursday, I sure hope the hunger will leave me for a little while after surgery. I never knew there were so many advertisments with food on TV before. Who said this was the easy way out? They are full of S......

I agree.....there is nothing EASY about this.

It will be wonderful...I'm just ready to get past the first week post-op. Looking forward to the results, so every ounce of discomfort will be worth it in the end. Hang in there....let us know how it goes on Thursday!!

I've stopped watching tv. I can't stand the commercials all about food. So I fill my days doing something else. Read, watch DVDs, listen to music and write in my journal. Living with two teenagers is also really difficult because the microwave is constanty on and the smell of food is dancing under my nose, just like in the old time cartoons.

I also noticed that your doctors see you really soon after the operation. Mine won't see me for 6 weeks for my first fill. How do I know if the band slipped, would I be really sick, or just fine?

They should give you something in the hospital that says you have to get in to your doctor within 10 days to check your sutures, then the second appt is for the fill.

The sutures that I have are supposed to be absorbed and the steri strips should fall off. I'm feeling ok, no vomiting ect.
