Surgery Monday 1-14



Recommended Posts

It's a beautiful Sunday and I am drinking a lot of Water and Vitamin water!! Getting prepared mentally, physically for a new chapter in my life! I'm scheduled for Surgery @ 10:15 am tomorrow.

Every time I think about it I get really nervous because I don't really know what to expect...how much weight I'm going to loose? will I be sick afterwards? Will I keep it off? How I will look & feel after weight loss?

I'm 5'3" tall 285 lbs! Ready to feel & look better.

Thanks for the encouraging words! I really appreciate them, the only person I've told is my mom and although she's been wonderful, it's nice to correspond with others who have or a going through similar changes.

The anxiety is perfectly normal, we all went through it right before surgery. There is no true way to know how much pain you will have post op because everyone is different, remember that if you have pain and take pain meds you will most likely have nausea because the pain meds cause nausea so make sure your dr gives you an anti nausea med. Good 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.
