In Pre Gastric Sleeve Surgery Area...



Recommended Posts

I am waiting for the surgeon in the pre-op area of the hospital. I kissed my kids goodbye this morning and had a sudden flashback of doing that and it made me cry. Nothing is going to happen but keep me in your prayers!!

Dear Clasica,

I am now 8 mos. post op, and as I look back at the procedure, I must say that the most emotionally tough time for me was in the preop room at the hospital. I felt fear, uncertainty, and remorse. I wanted to bolt at times. I even asked the nurse if it was too late for me to change my mind. It was the only time I shed some tears throughout this entire journey. You are very normal for feeling the way you do. You will have some highs and lows, especially in the beginning, but BELIEVE me, it is so worth it! Congrats on making the right decision, and welcome to the loser's bench.

      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.
