My Turn! I have surgery tomorrow morning.



Recommended Posts

I will have my surgery done tomorrow morning. I am calm and self assured about it. I look forward to having this done. I want my new life to start right away and feel that I will have the life that I see for myself. For me I have to see it (in my head) to be it! I see a demur pretty woman that attracts attention but is not looking for it. A poised woman. A healthy woman. A fit woman. I have so much to look forward to. I know the challenges I face post op, but so minimal to the thought of continuing being overweight. I will remember that for a while "comfort is a want, not a need" repeat, repeat, repeat.....Thanks for all the Q n A, thus far. You are all my great support. TTYL

Hey lite,

My surgery was today, and like you I felt very at peace. Everything went well, never have had any incision pain!

He found a smallish hiatal hernia and repaired, so actually the only pain is high on the chest when I breathe in. Surgeon says its more from the hernia.

I requested and all of the nausea meds, and so glad I did, absolutely no nausea! Walked the halls twice this eve with a nurse and she said next I can try on my own.

Absolutely happy about how well it's gone so far!! Stay calm, visualize a success, pray, and you will do fine!

      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.
