10 Day out from surgery and scared



Recommended Posts

To add the ticker ruler, go to the search box at the top of the page and search the entire forum for "Add Ticker". LilMissDiva did an excellent post on how to add the ticker. I won't try to re-do that since her instructions are so good! :)

Hi everyone

I am very new to this site and have been reading all the posts about the pre op jitters, I hope you dont mind me joining you. I am 10 days post sleeve, as soon as I had been given the surgery date I was so excited people would ask me how I was feeling and I just couldnt believe how excited I was. However I did message my sister, as I have no partner, to make sure she would tell my grown up son and daughter how proud I am of them and how much I love them, just in case anything untoward might happen.

I didnt have much post op pain and I am dealing with the liqued diet OK I am looking forward to being able to have mushy/pureed diet from Monday, looking forward toscrambled eggs.

I know its early days but I really dont think I will ever regret my decision to have the surgery as I know it was the best thing I could do for myself and my health.

Thanks, trip. I've got boarding secured for doggie. My friend will drive me to the hosp and bring me home. My neice will stay with me a few days. I'm pretty sure if. Don't change mylife now, I will not have another chance again. I am just fearful that I might not like the surgeon's answers to my questions. I already know he will not do hernia repair. I am so worried that I am guaranteed to have severe reflux because of that. But what will I say to the surgeon?

i looked forward to it because i was tired of always feeling hungry. but there was also being nervous about the "what could happen, or go wrongs".... try to put that out of your mind and focus on the possitives. this surgery is preformed so much now, the doctors are great. give yourself the best chance at a great outcome by sticking to that diet no matter what, plus losing weight now just means less to lose later. i lost close to 50 pounds before surgery so that my body was as healthy as it could be for surgery, and i figured why not now? good luck to 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.
