Guest guest Posted November 30, 2000 Report Share Posted November 30, 2000 well it certainly won't hurt to go for a consult even if you decide not to do it at least you'll have explored other options. I think you'll be all for it though lol. Its so exciting when you go into that waiting room and meet others and get talking and talk to the doctors. good luck that is my mother's birthday Jan 24th. and won't be far off now.

Guest guest Posted November 30, 2000 Report Share Posted November 30, 2000 , Just my two cents and have to make your own decision, but think about how you feel now. Not only physically but mentally as well. Now imagine how you are going to feel afterward. You won't believe it. Don Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted November 30, 2000 Report Share Posted November 30, 2000 Sue, I just read your email about the bows in the MIDDLE. I am preop, and it made me look down at my sneakers. My bows are tied but each very definitely to the side. It is the belly that is getting in the way. I had really never thought about my shoe tying before. Now, I am.

Guest guest Posted November 30, 2000 Report Share Posted November 30, 2000 i'm not worried some much about the surgery than i am about the adjustment of food choices i'll have to make after surgery.

Guest guest Posted November 30, 2000 Report Share Posted November 30, 2000 , At your first visit, you are given a packet. In it is included the blended diet which we will eat (I am still preop) for one month to allow for healing. They also give us a shopping list. I also received this again the other day at the Preop Meeting. After the first month, it sounded as if they introduced foods gradually, one at a time to rule out any intolerances. Quantity of foods eaten is a question mark for me. I don't know how you know how much to prepare or what you will eat (not much). Also, you don't drink and eat at the same time. This, the dietician will go over with you. Could a postopper from Dr. Thayer or Reines' office help us out as to how you know you are full on a blended diet? Do you just feel full? Are you not hungry at all? Any information would be helpful to and me. Thank you.

Guest guest Posted November 30, 2000 Report Share Posted November 30, 2000 Sally and , I hate to say it but everyone is different. I can tell you about MY experience. After the first few days home, I did start to get hungry. I ate anytime I felt hungry, and felt “full” very quickly. (I’ll talk about that in a minute.”) No matter how satisfied I felt, I was always hungry 2 hours later, like clockwork. So I ate every 2 hours. Don’t worry. Even at this rate, you’re barely getting any calories in at first. You may or may not feel hungry, but you MUST eat! As for full. I didn’t feel full at first. My body had NEW signals which I had to learn. Basically, I knew I’d had enough when I started to feel a little flushed and spacey. I have no idea why, but for the first several weeks, that’s how I knew I was full. At one point, I overdid it on pureed pasta (BIG mistake), and felt very definitely full and bloated in the tummy area for a full 24 hours. The problem was, I didn’t get the usual “full signals”, so I just kept eating, even though it seemed like more than I’d been able to eat thus far. If you don’t feel full, measure out your portions and just eat that much. Eventually, your body will adjust. Now, I get the same old full feeling as I did pre-op, just much sooner! - AA Sally MacDuff wrote: > , > At your first visit, you are given a packet.

Guest guest Posted November 30, 2000 Report Share Posted November 30, 2000 , Exactly what is " normal " anyway? LOL! I can relate. I didn't have this surgery for an image thing, but for ME. My reasons were to avoid lots of further co-morbidities, fit into booths, movie theatre seats, cars, wear a seatbelt, run, walk, bend over, sanitary reasons that makes like MUCH easier when thinner, energy to keep up with the " normal " people, less back pain, less foot pain, less expensive clothing with a " trend " to them and not just a size/color, and to live a long, healthy and happy life.
