Oh my.... it is very long and very medical but VERY informative about what is going to happen inside you on surgery day! Good post!!! However, I think some who are overly nervous already, don't watch it until AFTER your date.

:cool:

Way to much information for me. I am so glad there are people in the world who can stomach HA this stuff. Thanks for the post, however, the nice drawing of the surgery were enough for me. I never did watch a live birth experience in Lamaze, I was afraid I'd change my mind. YUCK.

I am still in the process of seeing allthe consults - the cardiologist this week

I would have liked to have seen it, but, I don't have real player, and didn't want to give them my credit card numbers. Actually, maybe it is best I didn't see it

      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.
