Cant Sleep! Nervous! Today Is Surgery Day.



Recommended Posts

I everyone I just had to come on and say today is the day I have surgery. I haven't been able to sleep all night. It's been one of those close your eyes and toss and turn kind of night. I'm very nervous/ anxious I just want the surgery part over with and to just start recovery!

Please send me you good vibes today! I'll report back later.

Thx,

I was really nervous too. I'd never had any kind of surgery, or even been put out by my dentist. You'll do fine, and you'll have taken an amazing step towards a better life for yourself. Good vibes on your way!

I had surgery on Aug 6th and is is like a blink of an eye and you are then being pampered by the nurses and dr. You will have a button for pain meds. there is not pain except when you get up your muscles in your stomach ache like someone beat you up in your stomach, not like you pulled a muscle and when you get up you will have help and they will have you walk a little. The worst part was dry mouth and my nurses kept me with these large qtips with lemon flavor on it and i would spread on my tougue, gums and side of mouth because you are not able to drink until your xray while drinking. Nausea is the only thing I was worried about and I got a tip from a nurse to ask for the patch for nausea. And if they ask you if you ever had motion sickness say yes and they will give you the patch. I kept me from being nausea.

Don't be nervous and if you are tired, that will help you rest even better. Oh there is a tv in your room and a phone most likely so you can call people so bring your cell phone with your phone numbers. You will sleep alot.

You will be fine.

You all are truly amazing. I'm very emotional today. I'm actually crying writing this. Surgery is at 12:30pm I'm in Toronto Canada and need to be there an hour before. Last night the time was flying by. I had to stop eating at 7pm then next thing I knew it was midnight and I could not drink anything. Now all of a sudden the time has stopped LOL.

Thank you for all your thoughts, good vibes, deep down I'm damn right excited to e starting my last day 1 (of a diet) I'm excited to finally start my first day 1 of my new life style!

Thanks for all the tips, and I will for sure let you all know when I'm home.

Thanks again and I can't wait to learn more from all of you!

      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.
