Nervous About Surgery! Oct 15, 2012



Recommended Posts

Hello!!

My surgery date is set, I have the support from my love ones and friends, I have coworkers who recently had the surgery and are doing great .... But I am so freaking nervous I am seriously starting to punk out a Lil bit! I am second guessing everything.. !!

All types of things are running through my head like am i doing this for vanity, will It even be worth it, should I just try to diet and work out, and finally am I being selfish to my daughter what if something happen to me.. The only thing I know for certain is that I'm not happy with myself I hate to take pictures, I love to shop and now I refuse to go do to my wieght, and honestly I am embarresed I lost 65 pounds 2 years ago and I gained 35 back. Loser right..???? if any thing I just need motivation!!

Sorry for the long note just venting

as many sleevers told me: if you were not nervous before surgery, you would not be normal. this is a permanent operation and a life commitment. trust yourself. this journey contains many steps. the surgery is one step along the way. wishing you both the best of luck! :)

      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.
