In Need Of Lots And Lots Of Prayers...my Big Day Is Tomorrow @ 09020Hrs!!!



Recommended Posts

OMG....So overwhelmed...excited scared.....

I have been out all day since 6am....running around doing some last minute shopping. I'm so worried, I hope that I did not forget anything. Got my pre-op meds for pain and nerve pain.....boy this is really happening in a few hrs.....

So scared that I did not really feel hungry throughout the day and supposed to be NPO after midnight.......I know I will be feeling the pain later.

I'm so nervous right now, that I started cleaning my house though there's not much to clean...I have to keep myself busy not to think about it. The more I think, the more scared I get......I think the anticipation is worst then anything. O.K have to go keep myself busy............I'm usually so positive and optimistic but right now, I'M IN PANIC MODE....So prayers are needed and will be greatly appreciated!!!

No need to panic...you're doing positive things to distract yourself.

If you can, bring a chapstick to the hospital with you...my lips got incredibly dry!

Sending positive energy and prayers for your fast and uncomplicated recovery.

Best wishes...

I too am sending T&P for tomorrow and your whole WL journey.

Remember Drs wouldn't recommend this if it wasn't a safe procedure.

Plus how many people here and not here having this surgery with no problems.

You're fine! You can do this! Kick butt!

you can do this ! i was home in 5 hrs, rested for 3 days and by day 3 i was so bored i went out and did a little lite Christmas shopping. by day 7 i was back at work ! The surgery itself was a breeze, it just felt like a bad pulled muscle on my left side for 10 days. Dont forget your chapstick and a big bottle of Water, you'll need them after surgery for " cottonmouth." Good luck !

You'll do just fine! A little rest and relaxation afterward, and welcome to the club! I was petrified, and like everyone is saying ... It was a piece of cake (no pun intended!) I also didn't sleep hardly the night before which in hindsight was good because I was more than ready to get "knocked out" for the surgery .. I didn't care, I just wanted to sleep! You'll do wonderfully too!

      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.
