About the salt issue=I too have a problem with retaining fluid for the past 2 years or so. It seems to have come on along with the obesity. I will have to be very careful and see if I can tolerate the salted products post op. Thanks for making me think of that
Nisey=I am going tomorrow to get a robe and some PJs for the hospital. Because I used to work where I am having surgery--I will have a LOT of company once the nursing supervisor finds out I am there and notifies all my old buddies--the doctors and nurses where I was an ICU and ER nurse for many years. It will be nice to see all those people. Gotta look my best so they dont think I completely went to crap dontcha think?? he he.
I hope if some people have great recipes for Pureed food===Chime in will you??? Nisey and I need some help here!! Any great recipes will be appreciated. Yes--Cheyenne==It will be so very excellent to be able to eat real food again. Dreaming of food at night.... Sheesh. I am going to really miss my 4th of July cake. :-( It will be far too soon for that.
Well Nisey--I go in at 8:00 am on 6-23-2015. I might be out of commission for a few days after and will post once I get home as to how it all went. Nisey-check your inbox. I sent you a private message.
I feel OK right now Nisey--but I know I will freak out the night before surgery. I am hoping I wont have too much problem with them getting my IV in. Sheesh. I have had a LOT of surgery and I usually tell them to get the anesthesia doc right away. Funny==getting IVs in was my Forte back in the day. Not enough hands to start my own though!! he he. I have really deep veins ( under the flubber somewhere)!!!
How are you feeling about things so far? Are you pretty relaxed about it all?
My dietician said we can eat Malto Meal or Cream of Rice after we can do full liquids and Puree. Does anybody who has had surgery know if that has too many carbs? I was kind of worried about that. I want to avoid any dumping syndrome. Is this pretty well tolerated? I actually LIKE malto meal and cream of rice. My husband thinks I am a freak because I DO. He he! Dietician also said FF cream of Chicken soup is OK too so I am going to get some of that tomorrow.
Well Here we are!! Our final weekend of being pre GB. Whew-Time went so fast!
Thanks everyone for the support!!!
