So Stressed! Big Day Is Tomorrow!



Recommended Posts

I am freaking out. I am stressed out because the surgery is tomorrow. I am so excited and ready to do this...but now I am stressing about about being stressed and it raising my blood pressure. I work for US Airways and my Dad flew in last night (we travel standby) but my mom is having a rough time of it. She may or may not get here tonight which means I may or may not get to see her before I go under. I am scared about not seeing her before surgery because even though I am healthy (aside from being overweight) I know there is a .03% I won't make it off that table. Knowledge isn't always power. :wacko:

You are going to be fine, we all have been thru it and woke up after surgery. As long as you are in good health you have NOTHING to worry about. I don't think the dr. would operate on you unless you could handle it. Good luck !!!

      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.
