awaters

On July 17th I came to the day surgery center at one of our local hospitals for my Gastric Sleeve I was excited but nervous at the same time I was to be there at 8:30 am with a surgery time of 10:30 am at 6:05 am the phone rang It was the surgery center asking if I could come in early as there was a cancelation I jump in the shower wash everything but my hair and then off we went. I checked in they rushed me to a room set up my IV and then went to the holding area Mr. Anastasia comes in tells me he will be working with another doctor and what to expect then came my Dr. and off we went to the OR. in Recovery while waking up the anastasiologist told me that they had to abort the surgery as they ruptured my eshopogus while putting a boogie down the tube in my through but they did repair it along with a hernia now that today is Monday July 23rd and I'm still in the hospital I might get to go home on Wednesday but I will be on a feeding tube for 6 weeks along with a drainage bag for my stomach this is dependently not what I signed up for apparently it is very rare for them to do this so before you do your surgery please talk with your doctor about this as the next 6-8 weeks I'm not looking forward to

I have surgery tomorrow @ 10:30 am, nervous and excited at the same time.

I have been using Bariatric Advantage High Protein Meal Replacement Banana, Orange Cream & Iced Latte and there pretty good not super sweat and mix pretty well.

I use the same thing I like the texture of it and it has less calories than the generic brand

I'm July 17th as well, went for my pre-op nutrition counsel today registered at the hospital did labs and ex-rays I'm excited yet nervous at the same time and will be glad when this liquid diet is over not that its bad I would just like more solid things.

I will be having mine on the 17th I am excited and scared at the same time the pre-op diet has been ok so far I have lost 14 pounds two protein shakes breakfast & lunch and then I get 3 ounce lean protein and 1 cup vegies, I go for my pre-op diet class today and register for the hospital and do lab work 6 days and counting

I started my pre-op diet on July 3rd and am scheduled for the 17th for surgery so far so good I find that if I eat things that are high in protein I'm good and I definitely know if I have waited too long to eat my one meal of the day I start to get very week I don't get to have any bars just clear broth, sugar free popsicles & Jell-O, 3 ounces of protein and 1 cup of vegies and of course water & flavored drinks I have lost 14 lbs. in one week crazy that has never happened before the bariatric advance high protein shakes are pretty good I like the Iced Latte, Orange Cream and Banana flavors I find that it has gone by fast and my husband has been a real big support for me. oh I forgot the nurse said if I had the urge for something crunchy I could have a dill pickle and it works pretty good have done that twice.
