Recommended Posts

Hi,

I am Becky's sister and wanted you to know that her surgery is over and she is doing fine. She is resting, but is alert enough to ask me to post that she will report more tomorrow when she is feeling up to it.

That is great news!!! Please tell her Jody says hi!! My thoughts are with her.

Yeah Becky! I am glad to hear you are out of surgery. I think I have been camped on this page all day...then I leave for lunch and bam it gets posted! It is such a relief to hear you are alert. I am looking to you to be our leader in PS, just as you have been in the weight loss phase!

Becky:

A very jealous Massachusetts plastic-surgery-wanna-be wishes you a quick recovery and a very flat tummy!

Take care.

Becky, so glad to hear your surgery went well and can't wait till you feel up to posting. Take care and let everyone take care of you and put all of your energy into healing. We all have you in our thoughts and prayers!

Frangi, sorry to hear you had a time getting into the hotel, but hopefully some of the pre-PS shopping relaxed you a bit. (retail therapy is always great!) We are all keeping you in out thoughts and prayers too, and we will be anxiously waiting to hear how things go for you too. Best wishes!!!

Woo Hoo!!! That's what I wanted to hear. This is a dancing banana event :Banane42::rolleyes2::Banane52::biggrin::Banane17::)

I hope you are resting comfortably tonight Becky -- and thank you so much for updating us Sis!!!

TexasBecky: You are in my prayers today! I know you'll do well!

Fran: I'll be thinking of you tomorrow. I'm leaving tonight to see my son perform in Cirque du Soliel in Montreal this weekend. Won't be back until the 25th! You'll all will be doing much better by then. I'll try to check my emails and see how you're doing. Welcome to the flatlands!

Have a great time Karey! We'll miss you -- thanks again for all of your excellent advice and support!!!

Thank you so much Go J :thumbup:!!!

Best of luck Frangi! Now your day is here. Call when you are ready!

Thanks Jody, I will be in touch as soon as I possibly can :smile::smile::smile:!

Well, I have just a few things left to do, but I am (more or less) set for the big day. Surgery is scheduled for tomorrow at 7:30 AM and the Dr. thinks that it will take approximately 5 - 6 hours. I will be in the hospital until Monday, but LadyBugRed (aka Jody) will post an update for me.

Thanks again everyone for all of the wonderful support and well wishes.

Talk to you soon!

Frangi you are probably already under anesthesia as I type this. I can imagine that your brain is drifting to all the sales at Stein Mart. 6 hours of dreaming about shopping...could be worse!!! Here is to a speedy recovery.

Becky- Hope you are feeling alright!!!

Hey everybody, it is actually me; doped up but it is me. I'm sitting at the desk in my hospital room and feeling pretty good considering. So far it is not as painful as I'd expected. Mostly because I've been taking the meds on a strict schedule to keep it from getting out of control.

Can't tell much yet except everything feels really tight and flat! I'm going to get out of my binder this evening long enough to take a shower, so I'm looking forward to getting a peak at things.

Thanks for checking on me one and all. I'll keep you posted as I can. Right now I'm just anxious to hear about Frangi. I'm sure with the GYN work she is also having that she's going to be more miserable than she otherwise would. My best advice is stay well medicated!!!!

Hope this all makes sense. I'll check back later. Becky

Doped up and still using proper punctuation! Glad to hear you are doing well. Gives me hope. Are you on IV med or just oral meds? I am hoping just oral cause that is all I am having!

      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.
