Shalee's October Overhaul



Recommended Posts

Shalee - I am very excited for you as well.

I saw from another post from you about the "hunch" and the no showers. You will be fine. I am almost 6 weeks out and still haven't had a shower!!!! I miss the hot Water, but I have a good hand held so I can lean over the tub (mostly standing straight with a slight lean) so I can wash my hair.

After a day or two, I don't think you will have touble with stairs, just take it easy. If your surgeon says no activity other than bathroom - believe him and stick to it!!

Pamper yourself this week and get in all the pleasure you can!!!!

Good luck!!

Jacquie

Hi guys - good luck. about the "hunch" I was told at first to walk hunched but now I am allowed to walk straight. I start off in the morning all tall and happy but by about midday I am hunching over again. Slowly but surely!

You are almost there!! we are fixing to enter the flatlands together. I hope it is as beautiful and wonderful as we here!!!!

WOW it seems like a dream right now. 3 days!!! At least we can compare battle stories.:biggrin: I have been cooking and freezing food all weekend so my family wont starve, (like they would) But they think they would.

Do you have someone to help you with the little guys?

My Ps wants me to stay out near his office for a week, but we booked a room for 3 nights and plan on coming home Monday. But if I can't sleep or get comfy at the hotel I told my hubby he is to bring me home to my recliner!!:tongue2:

Off to the dentist.

My 2 year old will be at my inlaws for 10 days (if I can live without him that long). My 9 year old will be at a friends over the weekend and then back home. I live in the same town as my doctor so I will be coming home. I taked about freezing food but Dh won't get it out and cook it, so I am giving them Sonic cash to eat on till I get up and about. I am making Mexican chicken stew and chili to have for me when I get home. I can't wait!!!!

      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.
