Recommended Posts

I'm having second thoughts I need some support i am scared to death I am going to die!!!! But I am young and should heal quickly!!!! I have been crying all day of the fear of the pain....nausea.....and blood clots!!!!!

Aww, I have moments like that, but you have to think about why though started this journey to begin with, what are the risks of you not having wls? I'm scared of dying too but, I'm scared more of not doing this and not having a good quality of life or being able to be an active participant in my life or my kids, and husband. You'll be ok. Just breathe and if you need to ask for some anxiety meds to calm you down a little. Good luck!

I too am still worried about blood clots....the thought terrifies me. As for the nausea, my surgeon prescribed a scopolamine patch for nausea. I have to put it behind my ear the night before surgery. I just keep telling myself it will be okay :)

I know what you mean!! I feel the same way!! TODAY especially because TOMORROW is surgery!! OMG I can't believe it's here!! I am unable to focus on anything else. My body doesn't hurt just cramping and I know it's because I'm nervous.

      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.
