Having 2nd thoughts



Recommended Posts

I am 10 days away from surgery and I am questioning the decision I am making. I don't know if it is nerves or what is going on. Im 6 days into my PRE op diet. Haven't lost a pound. Feeling discouraged and thinking about changing my mind. How do I know if this is the right choice for me.

I think we all go through that questioning stage. I know I did.

Only you can answer if its right for you.

Can you do what is required of you as far as eating the right foods and limiting your portions?

Are you ready to change your lifestyle?

Whatever you decide, I wish you the best.

Yes we all go through the "should I or shouldnt I phase". I did it right up until they put me under. I am so happy I went through with it. Although I am still a newbie, I was ready for a change. Its not easy but once you start seeing a difference you dont want to go back to your old ways.

God luck in what ever you decide.

Becks, I went through a horrible time a couple weeks ago feeling like this. I questioned everything you can think of.. Did I make the right decision, did I chose the right clinic, did I do enough research on this clinic, are the surgeons going to kill me, ... My list goes on and on. I had so much anxiety and panic I couldn't stand myself.

I called the clinic I am going to and let them know how I was feeling. They gave me reassurance and answered all of my questions also consulting with me more.

I am now at ease and my surgery is on Monday. :)

      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.
