Really Getting Started!



Recommended Posts

I saw my PCP on Monday for a sinus infection. He's referred me to Dr. Kuwada.

Dr. Kuwada's nurse just called, and the ball is getting ready to roll! She took down some basic information, and I should get an evaluation appointment within the next week.

Now if I only knew how to insert the dancing bananas, this post would be complete :D

Scroll all the way to the bottom of the screen. In the bottom left hand corner there is a box that talks about things being "on". Click on "Smilies" and it will bring up a screen with all the codes you can type in to get these things to appear.

I'm doing pretty good...having trouble sleeping. But since i have to get up about every 2 hours to go to the bathroom it seems I've been trying to get a couple of oz's of protien drink in and walk around my house for about 20 minutes. I'll be glad when I can lay in my bed again...or get up out of a chair and not feel so "tight"

How are you Diane feeling ..you guys are 2 week out now right?

      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.
