October Surgery Dates



Recommended Posts

My surgery is scheduled for 10/29. I am getting nervous at this point. I feel like I have gone through so much to get to this point.. And now the life changing event is around the corner!

You will do great, being nervous is normal. Praying for a non eventful surgery and speedy recovery for you!

You will be fine, you have done all you can... Your head is in the right place and you will be fine I promise I was nervous as hell, had mine on Monday not as straight forward as just a RNY as I had revision from a band and I had a lot of problems with that. But still it's Sunday and I'm doing good. Be strong smile and think of all the awesome clothes you will be buying in 3-4 months time xx my husband has promised me an unlimited shopping budget that's war I think of when I'm down or unsure about stuff. And everyone here keeps your spirits high xxx

Just be patient. It sucks. It will get better. I thought I would be tough last night and walk around the grocery store with my hubby. Was too much for me. Although I fought through takin pain meds until just a few moments ago.

My surgery is day after tomorrow - Oct. 23. I have to be at my surgeon's office tomorrow morning at 8:00 for my pre-op. Not exactly sure what all that will involve. Trying to stay positive and excited, but keep getting little nerve attacks! Sure hope everything goes well!

I'm excited most of all about getting off of all these blood pressure meds - I'm maxed out and still cannot get my BP under control. I'm also so excited to be able to dress in things I really like instead of just whatever I can find that fits.

      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.
