chicogirl3 got a reaction from sassycas45 in Bougie size
Mine used a 32 French. I have had no problems. I just have to make sure I take small bites. I have never got sick, and I have healed very quickly. My doctor is also very strict on what you can eat for the first 6 months. For the first 3 weeks, Water, Protein and broth only. Three weeks after soft blended (baby food soft) Soup non creamy. 6 weeks after soft protein, fish shrimp, chicken, and some veggie. I'm allowed 2 tbs of fruit a day. Not much I know. But it's protein, protein, protein.

chicogirl3 got a reaction from lynette85 in PRE OP DIET SUCKS!
I had a 10 day, Protein Shake and Water only diet. I was ready to beat on someone, and it's worse when you have to cook for your family. But now I'm 14 days post op, just moved to full liquid and it's not so bad. Getting a little tired of Protein Shakes, but I'm not hungry, no cravings, in fact I'm still trying to get all of my water requirements in. I think for about two days after the hospital I was head hungry. All those stupid food adds. But it will get better, just look ahead.

chicogirl3 got a reaction from JadeyLady in Redding California?
Chico, I should hear from the insurance co. on 8/24. Crossing fingers. I'm seeing Dr. Simcuk. Anyone have surgery with him, if so how did it go? Getting nervous.

I have blue shield. I have all of my requirements done, just waiting for the insurance. I'm already starting on Protein Shakes and a light dinner. So far 10 lbs off in 3 weeks. I'm trying to get myself ready for the pre surgery diet so I'm not so shocked by it. Also cut out all caffeine. Worst 3 day headache ever.

The wait is driving me crazy! I just want the insurance to come back with a yes, so I can set up my surgery date. My deductible is met, and I'd like it done before the new year, because it 100% covered. Otherwise it's back to 6000 out of pocket.
