Update for Striver



Recommended Posts

Hi all,

:)

Just to let you all know after surgery 18/2 I am fine.

Op went well -Day 3 post op - it is today and apart from minor discomfort I feel just so weak.

Seem to have a bout of diarrhea since yesterday, but its manageable.

I am home with my feet up and being spoilt by my teenage daughters and hubby - enjoying it while I can.

I will write a longer detail of the entire experience when I have more energy.

Thanks to all for their good wishes and prayers.

regards

M:smile2:

I'm glad all has gone well for you M. It really took me 2 1/2 weeks to feel pretty much back to normal, and before that I even felt a little blue. I hope all goes well for your recovery and you are soon back on your feet. Just remember to take plenty of time to rest.

Hi Striver. Congrats on the surgery. Hope you are well. I was in contact with you while you were deciding on having the surgery. I read that you did decide to go through SIOS, the guys that did my surgery. Who did you end up having as your surgeon? For me Dr Taylor was outstanding. Aren't the staff amazing? Hope all continues to go well for you.

Mrs Gaspo

      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.
