It's almost here and don't know what to feel



Recommended Posts

Well what I have been waiting on is now upon me. I go to the hospital at 7am tomorrow morning to start anew. I don't know what these feelings I am have are about and if they are fear or anxiety about tomorrow. I don't know how I am going to get through the day and night. I start work at 12pm and get off at 8pm that really takes up the day but my mind is on the surgery and nothing else. I know I won't be able to sleep and will be up all night. My husband plans to park on the street so he does not have to pay for parking so that means I have to be at the hospital at 6 am so an hour of waiting to check in.

I know I am just over processing this and everything is going to be fine but I wish I could have just got the call at 5am tomorrow to just show up at 7 so I would not have all this time to think. I am really excited that its here and I will be joining the rest of the group on the other side. I have packed already due to the anxiety and wishing it was already here.

I want to say good luck and prayers to all my sleeve sisters and brothers who will be crossing to the post op side tomorrow.

Also good luck and prayers for those going in today.

What you're feeling is normal. I went from excited to nervous to scared and then back to excited. Keep your eye on the prize.

You sound like you have this all figured out so that's part of the battle. Best wishes to you and just think, you are at the starting line of a great new life!!

      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.
