Nervous Belly 2 Weeks Before Surgery



Recommended Posts

I am two weeks away from my surgery date and have a sour stomach and diarrhea. Is this just happening because I'm nervous or could something be wrong? Has anyone else had tummy issues leading up to the surgery?

I am right there with you. My surgery date is July 23 and I am a bundle of nerves. My stomach has been upset for a week and I just started the pre-op diet so it is a bit worse today.

I talked to a nurse today and she said that it was normal to be nervous and to call if I get so anxious I can't function in my daily life.

Hang in there--these two weeks will fly by and we will begin to see the benefits soon.

Thanks Texarkolina,

I was worried it was just me and that something was wrong. I am a bunch of nerves and starting my liquid diet tomorrow, I'm sure will only make it worst. I am sure the time will fly by and cant wait for the benefits.

      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.
