Recommended Posts

How did u feel mentally? Scared? Did anyone chicken out at the last minute? Any family talks just in case? Tomorrow is my day.

Very ready and very prepared. I was ready for the Loser's Bench. Ready to get rid of years of yo-yo dieting. It's the best thing I've done for myself and I knew it before my surgery. As far as complications, I had faith God would finish what He started. Get a good night sleep and keep us posted.

My day is tomorrow as well. I'm not nervous- just very anxious! I'm READY!

Of course it's only natural to feel anxious the night before. I was pretty nervous too. If I recall, I even had little visions of chickening out at the last minute and running out of the OR with my Buns sticking out my gown. Breathe. You are well prepared for this. You've jumped through all the hoops and you will be fine. I remember even being scared to take my laxative for my pre-op diet. I'm now 6 weeks out and down almost 25 pounds. No regrets. Breathe and step into the best years of your life.

Get ready for the ride of your life. I was nervous as a cat. I couldn't wait!!! I was up until almost midnight and had to be there at 5 AM!!! It's been a blast, be prepared, tomorrow is the first day of the rest of your life!!! :D

      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.
