Tomorrow is the big day



Recommended Posts

What a roller coaster of emotions, huh? I keep going back and forth from being really calm and determined and being scared out of my mind. I did my required pre-op crying last night and I hope that's the last of it. I keep telling myself that it's normal to be afraid to fail, and it's normal to be afraid of being a statistic, but that I'm going to be just fine and I'm going to be so glad I did it just like everyone else on this board. Wish me luck!

Well, we have the same day then. I'm a little nervous and hope I'm doing the right thing. I know I am but still nervous. Yea, a roller coaster of emotions, but in my situation I'm doing the right thing, and my decision to have this took me years.

Good luck to you tomorrow, you know you will be just fine.

I'm glad to have company lol. I'm scheduled for 8:30 this morning. I'm just ready to get it going. It's kinda girlie of me to be so nervous, but I am.

I'm 294 lbs on my home scale this morning, so that is my starting point.

I have sleep apnea bad, and my primary goal is to resolve that.

Okay, got to get moving, I will post again when I'm on the other side.

Congratulations to all of you. You'll be just fine, your recovery will be over before you know it, and it really is one of the best decisions that you could make for yourself. Don't be afraid. Be proud that you're taking charge of a really important aspect of your lives. See you all on the other side.

I cried like a little girl in the holding room when they were starting my IV. I was so scared. But I made it through. I was in horrible pain when I woke up but I already feel so much better. I just did my first walk around the floor. I'm sore but my spirits are high. Thank you all so much for the support. I'm so happy to be on the loser's bench!

The nurse havens a Valium to calm me a little. Then the pre op drug, and than I was waking up. It was done.

So as I post thisit 11:15pm, in just wide awake but in almost no pain.

I am still raking my pain mess, but feel really good. Met a lady here that said she had wls 20 years ago, and she was talking very positive about it.

      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.
