Tomorrow is my day!



Recommended Posts

I am scheduled to be sleeved tomorrow at 10:00 a.m. I haven't been the least bit nervous until today. Now I am just a bundle of nerves. My head hurts, my shoulders are cramped and I am scared. I know I won't back out. I have come too far and want this too bad. I am just nervous.

I so know what you are going through. I fly out tomorrow night and my surgery is on Wednesday at 7:30 a.m.

I'm just trying to focus on all the good things coming for me!

You'll be ok, it's a normal reaction. . . this surgery was my 18th major surgery and with each and every one of them i was so nervous and scared. . . but as you can see, i'm still here and doing very, very, well! Your going to do really well too. . . it's not a bad surgery at all. . . you are going to be up and about the next day or like me the same day of surgery once i woke up. . . I really needed to get out of bed when i woke up. . . after all my legs didn't hurt did they now. . . so i walked out into the hallway and 1/2 way down and went back to bed, the next day thou, i walk 8 lengths of the hallway and by the evening was walking 12 lengths . . . felt really good. . . by the 3 day i was so ready to go home, and on the 5th day had no pains at all. . . you'll do great! just sip your fluids, do your walking, and think positive, be happy, you are starting a great journey now that can take you to much better things in life. . . good luck and i'll be thinking of you tomorrow! keep us posted! Mini-Me, this post goes for you too! You'll go great too. . . just walk and sip ok? Cheers

We'll all be pulling for you tomorrow, and keeping you in our thoughts. I think nerves are perfectly normal at this point, and you just have to go in with a positive mentality.

You'll do great, and we're saving you a seat on the loser's bench.

Loosing -

Your reaction is perfectly normal. I had the same reaction with knee surgery last month. Started to doubt if my knee "really hurt that bad". Take a deep breathe (or a couple). Everything will be fine. *hugs*. :biggrin0:

      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.
