Tomorrow Is Surgery Day



Recommended Posts

Hi everyone,

Well tomorrow is my big day. Surgery is at 9:00 05/03/12. I am so nervous and excited. Fear of the unknown but also excited about a much healthier future :)

If you read this please stop for a second and say a little prayer for me that all will go well with no complications. :wub:

I'm 5 weeks out from my band - sleeve revision. It's really night & day, in a good way. I'm not going to say you will love it, there are certainly some things not to love, but I will say it's way easier to live with than the band was on its best day.

And if you're like me, and have significant scar tissue from your band insertion/removal, you might find an unexpected bonus of relief once that gob of stuff is removed. I'm now rid of pains I wasn't really registering before (occasionally), but now definiely notice that they're gone.

      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.
