5 Days Out And Starting To Get The Jitters!



Recommended Posts

Hi everyone, I'm having my surgery on Feb 13th, i am 6 night and 5 days away from my surgery day! I am very excited, and i know i'm prepared. I'm not sure what i'm feeling. I don't know if its nerves, then again, i don't get very nervous often. I just feel like now it's a sitting game, waiting to day. I've been taking prolisec like my doctor told me to, and i'm starting a 5 day liquid pre-op just to do it. tomorrow i'm going to pick up everything on my shopping list, i ordered some Isopure and Protein powder too.... I just feel like, i don't know it's hard to explain. It's almost butterflies, it's like i'm so prepared that i don;t think i am prepared, but i don't know what else i can or should do.

Anyway, i was just wondering if there is anything i should know for the day of surgery or the process from everyone else's experiences. I know what to expect, but at the same time i don't.

I don't know if i made any sense in this, but hopefully some of you can relate to me.

      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.
