MY SURGERY IS TODAY!



Recommended Posts

I am soooooooooooo nervous! Don't know what to expect. So excited but scared at the same. I will be at Kaiser in 3hrs, still not sure what I should take with me. Yes I know, I'm a huge mess and hungrrrrrry from this 2 day liquid diet. Wish me luck!

Congrats! This is an anxiety provoking experience that we have all gone through. Pretty soon you will be at Kaiser and wheeled into the OR and presto, your waking up and it's done. Can't wait for you to join me on THE BIG LOSER'S BENCH! :)

Relax and don't worry about bringing too much - the hospital should provide you with pretty much everything you need. Totally normal to be feeling anxiety right now. As soon as you get into the OR prep, they will give you some valium or something to relax. It's a great adventure ahead - smile and get ready for the trip!

I packed everything I was told I should pack and didn't use 99% of it. As another poster said, the hospital provided everything that I needed. The only thing I was very happy I had with me was my smart phone and charger.

      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.
