Pre-testing today, including a upper GI



Recommended Posts

I posted about it in my blog so feel free to read it, I tried to keep my sense of humor about the whole thing.

I'm done with the pre-op stuff and am off to the doc this afternoon for the pre-op consultation. After that we're off to a Bulls game. This I'm a bit more concerned about since I have never been to a Bulls game and have no idea if I will fit in the seat.

I'll let you guys know how it goes.

Hugs

I'm at Alexian Brothers so we can compare notes, LOL. I really like Dr Rantis, as a matter of fact I have an appointment with him today at 4pm. I had my dietary class last Monday, I think, and went to the Saturday class last month. My hubby had Lapband surgery the end of last month.

I'm really excited to have this done!

OMG that's awesome you and your hubby will be banded I'm sure it makes it easier... I originally thought I would be having it at Alexian Brothers but I guess they didn't have any openings and St. Alexuis did. OMG I went their this Saturday and it's really really really nice and everyone is supper nice. WOW you see him today... Cool. So are you excited? I am and ready to get this done already. Are you going to the meeting on the 7th maybe, we can meet.

Do you want to be support buddy's?

      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.
