Surgery Tomorrow!!!



Recommended Posts

My surgery is tomorrow.....like everyone else I thought this day would never get here. I joined this site a little over a month ago, and I want to thank everyone for sharing their experiences and stories. I feel like I am 100% ready for this surgery and all that may happen in the weeks after the surgery. Had I not found this site, I would feel lost and have no idea what to expect. I am so excited to start my journey.....I will see you all on the other side!!! =-}

My surgery is tomorrow( today- it's 1:12am) as well. I can not sleep at all! Nervous is not exactly the word to describe how I am feeling at the moment. I laid down at 10:20p and could not sleep at all. So I got up and moved to the sofa in media room and will probably stay here until 5:15 am before I start getting ready to leave for hospital. Good luck to everyone having surgery later today! I will see you on the other side. :-)

You will do great! I am a week out and let me tell you the day before my surgery I was so nervous, but I got on this site and someone told me the best advise. "Go in the hospital and just let go of your control - let the nurses and doctors take care of you - you made the decision to do this now just let change happen!"

Just think next year this same time we will be on here encouraging future "bandies" and telling our stories and successes! Here is to the new us~

      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.
