Anxious, Excited & just plain nervous..



Recommended Posts

Hello there.. Well I got 9 lbs to lose before seeing my doctor again, so they can schedule an appointment for surgery.. But It just seems like this last past days I can't help but think, is what if I don't make it out alive.. I got 3 beautiful boys, if I do say so myself. ^_^. and this is the second opportunity that I will be able to do this. About 5 years ago, I went through the whole thing.. Just to chicken out and not have it done. Okay just had to vent.

I understand!! I too freaked out and backed out several years ago. I have bee confident this time jut recently started getting really anxious. I think it is normal. It is important to remember that we are doing this to be their for our kids and living obese is dangerous. We are all here for you! Calming wishes for you.

I know exactly how you feel. My surgery is this Tuesday. I don't know whether to cry, jump up and down or go running for the hills.

I'm starting to get a little antsy. I've never had any surgery or really anything medically invasive. But everyday I think about life now, and life how I want it to be, and this is a major step towards that.

I say that and I will probably be crying come Thursday morning!

      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.
