Surgery Tomorrow Morning Nerves



Recommended Posts

Well, I've talked of nothing else for the last two months and hours from surgery my anxiety has finally taken hold. I have had terrible indigestion and headache all day and I can only attribute it to nerves. I think I need we'll wishes and maybe a little prayer. For the first time my husband said to me that he thought I was brave. I really appreciated that because no one wants to have to do this to their body. I'm just trying to save my life and be their for my family. Wish me luck!

Hello Paloma. I am new here as of last night but have been reading the forums for almost 3 weeks b/c I am considering the surgery as well and I have a meeting on June 13th and then I'll know more then. I am anxious but so excited. Now, this is my first post, and I am glad to start it w/ you..."Dear Father in Heaven, You made us and You and only YOU know all about us, and our desires, needs and hopes. Right now, I ask you, on behalf of Paloma and Myself, to please be w/ her tomorrow as she takes on this new journey in LIFE. We know that through you all things are possible, and we also know that you provide people in our paths to help us when we ourselves can not do it alone and we thank you for them. I pray that you give her surgeons and all who will be involved in her procedure all that is needed for it to successful in every way, both during and afterwards. Dear God, we love you so much and we thank you for second chances. Please be w/ her and give her the peace of mind to go in knowing that You will be there leading the team! Thank your for hearing our prayers and it is IN Your name that I pray, Amen." I do pray that this will comfort you and your family, please let us know how you are doing afterwards....C the New You soon. Bye4now, DeezJeanz :)

      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.
