Recommended Posts

I am so excited and so nervous! Have to be in Dallas by 5:30 am. I live over an hour away so that means I will be getting up very early.

Please pray all goes well! I've lost 13# this last week doing the lowcarb and liquid thing.

Looking forward to losing a lot more!!!

Doing good. Am home now. My surgery didn't happen till after 10 am. There was an emergency surgery that had to be done before mine.

Anyways - all is well. I have a little pain pump hanging around my neck for the incisions. It somehow just gives the right amount right to the cuts and when the little ball gets empty (they say a few days) I take it out and throw it away. Weird!!

The only pain I am in is gas pains and it's pretty much kicking my bootie!!

Michelle praying all went well with you and your surgery today!!!

I used Dr. Wade Barker and love him.

I am in terrible pain today. Either this pump ain't working or this gas is still killing me. I don't know what it is. I hate the liquid pain meds they gave me, probably should take it to help but it tastes HORRIBLE and also it makes me feel funny. I hate feeling out of it. KWIM?

Still very gassy and hurting... not as bad with the pain meds now though. I am just forcing myself to take them no batter how bad the taste is.

      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.
