Topic: RE: Anyone blogging?
This is great is there anyone else out there??? I'm enjoying reading everyone's blogs my google reader is filling up!
It's great how everyone can be so honest about their fears and feelings! I am enjoying writing mine more than I thought I would.

Topic: RE: Gross Alert! 3 days after surg. no number 2..lol
Yeah..I know what you mean..kindof. I had two c-sections as well but I was in the hospital for 5 days with the first and 4 days with the second and they made me go before I left. This time around, since I was outpatient...IT WAS ALL UP TO ME...BooHoo..lol! I guess I was panicing. I'm all good now and feel much better!
Topic: RE: Pre-Op Liquid Diet...omg I'm STARVING
Oy.
This morning I'm not hungry--but--I feel soooooo stopped up it is driving me nuts. I took some stool softener last night hoping to get things moving...my belly just aches. :(
This can't be good...any one else feeling this way?
Who ever said their doctor lets them have salad in addition to this--I am insanely jealous! I'd kill for some veggies...but I'm terrified to cheat at all...

I had the same for 2 days, then added 3 protein drinks a day into my routine and the headaches went away.
The two proteins that I love are Oh Yeah Banana in ready to drink... kinda spendy, but very convenient, easy to grab, shake and drink in the car, at work, etc.
The other is a mixture that the VitaLady showed me. It's 1 scoop of IDS Whey Chocolate protein, 1 scoop of IDS Whey Vanilla / Cinnamon protein. Mix them together in a little blender with about 3 ozs of water. Then I pour it into a large coffee mug, add the rest with ho****er. You get a hot chocolate type drink with a vanilla / cinnamon taste and it is wonderful.
I had given up caffeine about a month ago, so I was already through the caffeine headache, but I do agree, that could be the cause also. My caffein headache lasted for 4 full days and it was miserable.
Best of luck !!

Did you stop drinking coffee before the headaches. That might be the problem if so.
Topic: RE: Pre-Op Liquid Diet...omg I'm STARVING
I hope today's diet of clear liquids will be better than yesterday. All I could think about was food all day.
Topic: RE: first 2 weeks post-op
odd that you are getting sent home with soft foods...hmmm...
next food stage would be soft foods.

Hello Everyone,
I am having surgery on the 13th and start a 2 day liquid diet tomorrow. For those of you who are doing it for more than that I applaud you. I am fretting just 2 days, but its something we have to do. Good luck to all of you this month.

Ok everyone... I am having my RNY on Tues 4/13! WOOT WOOT!
BUT in the meantime, I am having headaches EVERY FRIGGIN DAY! What do you suppose this is all about? I notice the only thing I have done different is not force myself to have 2 protein drinks/shakes everyday...I know that when I did have the 2, I didnt have the headaches. SOOOO I have come to the conclusion I am not getting enough protein. My doc has me on a 2wk pre-op diet (lost 11 lbs already) which is basically eating very little BUT better than the all liquid diet I've seen people post about (I'd die! Seriously!)... This is what my surgeon suggests
Breakfast: 1 egg, 2 oz fruit
Mid-Am: Protein shake/drink
Lunch: 1 1/2 oz lean protein, 2 oz veggies
Mid-Afternoon: Protein shake/drink
Dinner: 1 1/2 oz lean protein, 2 oz veggies, 2 oz fruit
I've been slacking the last couple days on the protein shakes and eating an ounce more veggies and meat. What do you guys think???? I'm eager for surgery day to get here and get it over with! I want to start my new HEALTHY life
