Recommended Posts

Two days and I head out to get my tt, I'm so excited and only a few of you my band family has any interest in such a life changing event for me. It is really hurting my feelings. Or maybe I have just done overkill on the subject. But please know that I am just so excited and scared and excited all over again. I leave on Thursday and my surgery is scheduled for July 4th, I'm having a redo, my tt, body liposculpture (lipo of upper and lower back, inner & outer thighs and some on my arms) he also want to do some fat grafting on my buttocks since they are so flat, he thinks it would give me an overall better shape. So here I go. Wish me luck and look out supermodels here comes Bella...

Thanks you all for always listening and for always giving me such encouragement and helpful advice. I hope I don't die. Pray for me, okay..

Thank you all very much. I appreciate it. I know I'm going to be in pain and I'm not looking forward to that part, but maybe I can stay doped up... Well, I called my sister-in-law and she is taking some pictures of me tonight, so I don't get busy and forget, so as much as it will be embarssing to post them, I will cough up the courage to do it. So I'm packing tonight and getting everything ready for my trip. I'm so excited. My husband is being quite supportive, but he is a little scared for me. I pray to God that he takes care of me and lets me come out of this okay.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
