Surgery Tomorrow Morning!



Recommended Posts

I just needed to share that I am so nervous about my surgery! I'm scheduled for 6:00 a.m. tomorrow morning....eight hours! :( I don't know what I used to dream about, but for the last week on my liquid diet, i've been dreaming of eating food and having to cancel my surgery! I'm excited but really nervous and I just wanted to share that. Ok, I feel better now.

Good luck to you- my surgery is tomorrow as well. I lucked out and my pre-op diet was high protein/low carb so it was very easy.

I have to be at the hospital at 12:30 and surgery is scheduled for 2:15. Hoping all goes smoothly and I'm back home tomorrow night, but there is a chance I'll end up having to stay overnight.

I'm not really nervous but rather anxious to finally get this thing GOING.

See you on the loser's bench-

Don't worry it will be over before you know it and you will finally be on the other side of all the buildup. You will do great. I was banded last Tuesday and I am so happy to finally be on the backside of it. It was absolutely worth all the work. Good luck!!

Good Luck! Hang in there! I look forward to joining the bandsters on Friday! Yep my day is Friday and I am getting nervous too. It seems all of a sudden I have forgotten what I have been taught. As I sit here and destress it all comes back to me. A few deep breaths and this too shall pass! Best of Luck!

See u all on the losers bench!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
