Recommended Posts

Hello everyone, I'm from central Jersey. I'm having my surgery Wednesday @ Robert Wood Johnson New Brunswick. I'm excited, nervous, anxious, you name it...lol I just want to get it over! I have been on my liquid diet, and working my booty off at the Gym, needless to say I can't wait for start of my new life!

Do you have the Protein drinks? My nutritionist recommended Atkins-lift Protein Drinks - it has 20g of Protein in 16oz, Soups (Campbell's cream of chix, or Tomato Soup or chix broth) I made cauliflower Soup and added plain protein in it. I googled to get ideas. Jello, pudding, Protein shakes

I actually called them first, but they only take out of network coverage and I have Horizon Omnia. Dr. Sadek is doing my surgery, he also has an office in Freehold which is where I would see him; however I'm having my surgery at RWJ since it's tier 1 which means my surgery is covered 100%, I'm just paying $250 copay for the one night that I'm staying inpatient.

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
