Few Hours Left For Op



Recommended Posts

Am due for surgery after 7 hours it is 3:20 am here n Australia. Couldn't get any sleep, very worried stressed, had a big fight with my husband, I am staying alone n the hotel and will go to the op by myself tomorrow. Left our daughter with him as well for her school. Missing her so much. I was expecting that she will b with me and will first face I see when I open my eyes. I didn't expect to be that Lonly in this big day. I am sorry for my depressive talking, but I am really very down and this place is only one I can find ppl to share. Plz pray for me that I can go throw this tough time and the op go well. I want to see my daughter again.

Call your husband, kiss & make up. Ask him to bring your daughter to the hospital so you can see her prior to surgery. Your mental stability is important so you have a positive attitude throughout. You're in my prayers. Good luck & God speed.

Be strong! My surgery is in a couple of hours too, and I am also alone at the hotel here in ! San Diego.< /p>

I'm sure your hubby only fought with you because he's nervous and worried. He'll be at your bedside, I'm sure.

You can do this! Be selfish and do this for YOU (rather than doing everything for your family, the way most of us women live our lives). If your health and happiness are good, everyone benefits!

Chin up, sleeve-sister!

Hi stardust

I am in QLD I had my surgery last year with dr Greg Nolan he was fantastic.

It wasn't easy to have the surgery my husband was completely against it and didn't offer me any support. He didn't even call or visited me in the 4 days I spent in the hospital. He didn't even picked me up. I have to arrange for a cap to back home which is 100 km away from the hospital.

But I didn't care about all of that I knew that I had to do it for myself and my daughter.

I can assure u that I didn't have any complications at all even my health was very down all my tests wasn't good and my ECG wasn't normal, but all gone through fantastic.

I was able to drive straight away after I back home, I back to work a week after.

Just think about urself first keep going. If u need anything about the diet etc just text me. That will b my pleasure to help

Good Luck

Hi

I hope everything is going well with u just keep urself positive it is so important for the healing and reaching ur goal.

I am sure ur husband is so worried it is a big operation, u just need understand his feelings, believe me men are not as strong emotionally as we r, but don't let that stoping u.

Of course they advised u about having the Protein shakes and Soup .

I have tried all shakes in the market the best I found for myself was kick start that the one they advice me to have. It is only available online if u wana try it tell me I send u the site.

Also if u on Skype u can add me amy200686 my Skype is always on my phone. As well I am a pharmacist so should u need anything I can help with plz let me know.

I wish u all the best. And keep n touch.

Amany

      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.
