June surgeries!

Hey all! I looked around and couldn't find anything for June surgeries. I don't have my exact date yet, but it will be the 1st or 2nd week of June!! Sooo excited!! I had my lap band out on April 18th and they were supposed to do the bypass, but they weren't able to due to scar tissue. I saw my surgeon today and all should be a go for June! Yay!!!! RNY here I come!!!

No fair! We're surgery buddies! :-) Just joking. Congrats. You're one day closer to the losers bench.

I know! :( I was so excited to meet someone with the same time and day! I will keep ya posted tho, we can still be buddies! I'd add ya as a friend bit I don't know how on my phone lol

They told me to take it slow and sip every ten seconds. Said it sounds like I have a lot of gas a mucus to try and get thru. Suggested some milk with 1/2 the recommended protein powder to try to get some good natural sugar too. Suggested I freeze it and eat it like a Frosty.

If I can't hold things down they'll want me to go in for IV fluids because I haven't urinated since this morning.

Hang on! In one week you will not be hungry! That is so amazing to me that I am feeling no hunger. Keep up the good work!

Thanks, I am trying, so HARD! Best of luck to you as well!!

I'm on pureed food for 2 weeks. He gave me great recipes to try. Soft foods after this phase.

Could you share a few of those recipes?

Surgery: 6/5/2013

Well I have 10 days left Til surgery and I am sooooo worried that my liver will be to large to have the surgery. I've been on this liver shrink diet three weeks but I have messed up a few times like last night I ate chips and salsa at the Mexican restaurant and last week I had low sugar ice cream every night and I've had sandwiches for lunch instead of salad for a few days.. I have messed up so bad the last week and I'm nervous my liver won't be small enough. :-(

Have you lost on your diet?

Have you lost on your diet?

I've lost about 8-10 pounds. My nutritionist said to stick to the diet and I will be fine not to worry.

Keep an eye on the dehydration. I may try the freezing a milk product, sounds like it would be tasty.

Hey girlie... I wanted to say. Remember me saying all the trouble I had on the 2nd day? I wonder if your intestines aren't just taking a million years to wake up like mine did. It took me 4 days just to pass a tiny toot. Lol when my intestines were still asleep, they had to give me IV fluids cause instead of my intestines pushing fluids down, they would come back up because they were working yet. Some people take FOREVER for intestines and bowels to get working again. Maybe that's the case. If it is, do as much walking around your house as you're physically able to without nourishment to keep you going.

I hope that's all it is. I've been trying to stand and walk around my apartment. Also took a really long hot shower to try and relax and get things moving.
