Surgery Today May 17Th

Surgery this morning. We got to the hospital about 8:30 this morning. They started getting me prepped for surgery right away. I went in to the OR about 11:15 or so. And was home by 3 pm. My husband and mother were at the hospital with me. I even walk out of the hospital on my own. The gas pain is the worst in my upper chest area. It hurt to take in a deep breath. I have been up and walking around with very little difficulties.

Pre Op Diet Not Going Well

I cheated on my pre-op diet. I did not cheat badly but I am on a liquid diet and I had food. Is this bad? Will they cancel my surgery? I am scheduled for this Thursday at 10:30 am. I feel bad and support system has been doing it best to help me stay on track but most of all I have failed myself. Not happy and scared. What do I do.

Hungry

Today when I woke up I was not hungry at all. I made myself eat before we left for church. I got home took a nap then when I got up I was almost starving I could have eaten almost anything. I did not but food I can smell it. I had to make my daughter a hotdog and wow I just wanted a bit so bad. It made my mouth water and everything. This seems sad to me cuz I hate hotdogs. I use to think they were gross and did not eat them too often but now they are making my mouth water lol strange how things

Liquid Diet

So here it is day three of my liquid diet and I am a little crabby to say the least. I have been under some real stress with school and finals that started today and having a paper due for each of the finals. I have 3 more finals which are on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. So I have tried to get the papers out of the way so that I could study for finals but all I can think about is food. I do get a soup in the evening or at least once a day and I can chose which meal I would like it in. I have b

Surgery Date May 17 2012

So I got the call on Friday but could not talk to anyone until today. I found out that I was approved in less than a week and surgery is in just over two weeks. I am very excited and scared. I thought it would be slow just like the rest of this process has been but I was so wrong. I feel bad I was thinking how am I going to get my kids to school, how am i going to start my next term of school and how am i going to feel after this surgery. It seems to be a little over whelming. I am starting my f

Submiting To The Insurance

Today they submitted my things to the insurance company. I am so nerves and excited all at the same time. I started this process back on Jan 7 2012 and I have completed my psych eval and pre op diet/ nutritionist visits for 3 months. Those were the only things I had to do. I have stopped drinking coffee, teas, and sodas. I quit smoking in Dec of 2011 and I really don’t drink too often and when I do it is only one small glass of wine. I have been trying to eat good foods and not eating too many f

First Meeting And Diet

So I went to my first consult with the Dr. Sanchez and met with the Nutritionist / Dietitian about the 3 month supervised diet that is required for the insurance. I started with doing what the dietitian told me and watching what I eat, proteins first, 2 servings of both fruit and veggies a day, started taking a daily vitamin and calcium, increasing my water intake from 64oz to 78oz and logging everything that touches my lips. I have not been cutting my food in to smaller pieces I have however b
