Recommended Posts

i am excited and kind of scaredish type thingy a bit. my mind is going 80 miles an hour checking and re checking to make sure i am doing everything i need to do, should do, could do, might be good if, and just in case. lol i cannot wait until they give me something to relax. i would take a xanax now but i am hoping because i am not taking any it will hit me stronger when i really need it. lol i am doing everything i can possibly do now i just need to leave it in the lords hands. wow i cannot believe it is finally happening, i am having surgery to change my life forever. any last minute advise? please pray for me i need all the help i can get.

Hi, Alisia. You'll do fine. I had my surgery Thurs. (13th) and just got home late yesterday. Had a few minor bumps with med reactions and nausea. But all is good! Down 22 pouns since my consultation in June!I was very nervous too. Just take a lot deep breaths and think about where you'll be by Christmas. Congrats on your big day and I'll keep you in my prayers.

I had similar med reactions Nanna. My surgery was last Tuesday. I stayed a second night to make sure it was all worked out. My advice...if they offer you an extra day in the hospital...take it! Better to get the meds worked out there where they can monitor 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.
