Surgery 2/17 But I'm Scared Now



Recommended Posts

Just had my first surgery ever too 4 days ago. I was scared about not waking up too and all the other big "what ifs". But I'm here to say you literally close your eyes for what seems like a minute and then you wake up and it's done. The biggest surprise, for me there was not much pain at all. Everyone is different but the my stomach where the incisions are was the sorest Monday and Tuesday but starting yesterday I noticed a huge difference. No unbearable gas pains or nausea, which I was really scared about too. I'm eating when I feel just a little hungry and it doesnt take alot to fill full. The best news of all, I have lost almost 5 lbs since Monday fruitsex.gif

I , too, am so very nervous about surgery also, so you are definitely not alone. I have my last appt next week where my surgery date will be planned for the next 30 days after that. I have never had surgery of any kind, so I am not looking forward to it, but......I know I NEED this tool to help me get it off and KEEP it off once and for all. I wish everyone well with their upcoming surgeries. I said a little prayer for all on this forum. May God bless and keep us all. smile.png

Hope everything came out fine during your surgery. I was scared at first too, but then I thought of my long term goal.

      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.
