My Surgeon Gave Me a Gold Star for the Week! LOL!



Recommended Posts

I think it's mostly gas pain and port site pain. Today already seems to be a little bit better. I was just REALLY tired yesterday. I am going to try to get up and around a bit more today. Showering helped a little. Made me feel more human.

Hey, I am a twin mommy, too! It's so fun, isn't it? :(

Wow! Yep having twins is great! How old are your twins? I have six year old b/g twins. They don't look anything alike!! I also have a 15 year old son! :(

I have a 5-year-old girl and 16-month-old girl twins. It's been kind of difficult because they don't understand why I can't pick them up yet. :( They are fraternal. One twin could actually be the identical twin of my 5-year-old. haha!

That is so funny. My six year old boy twin could actually be an identical twin to my 15 year old!! Funny how that works out!

You are inspiring to us all..:driving: I too have had surgeries, c-section, abdominal hernia repair that turned out to be endometriosis and c section adhesions, total hysterectomy, broken tib/fib, ... My docs said this would be nothing compared to them, and I have had to reassure my husband of this. I couldn't lift a gallon of milk after hyst do possibility of adhesions for 4 weeks. Family and friends gave me crap about everyone they knew doing things before I did, but I don't have scar tissue or complications and its been 2 years..

I had never heard of the liver issues until now, but know that when I had an ultrasound two years ago they mentioned my was large and had spots on it,, why didn't they tell me what caused it?? No one mentioned it was because I was overweight,, I guess I really need to start the pre diet pre diet or I won't get a gold star...:incazzato:

Hope you healing is uneventful,, wishes of willpower and determination to you:biggrin:

      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.
