Surgery Tomorrow Morning 5/9/13



Recommended Posts

Well tomorrow at 6:00am I will be getting to have my surgery and I'm super nervous, I have all of my post-op medication and please some help, Dr. Vollinger said that I will do good due to me and I have nothing to worry about, he also gave me something for my nerves to get me through the night. ????????? I'm excited and nervous all at the same time.

I had surgery Monday and have been doing really well! My experience is that I expected it to be a lot worse than it really is!! You will be fine, just stay calm and remember why you are doing this! You'll be post-op eating a SF Popsicle in no time! :)

      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.
