Holy heavens I'm exhausted....this pre-op is gonna be the death of me!!!!

It's hard, but worth it. I feel good...and it's one day. That's not to say it's easy, but I'm eager to make all my supporters proud, and I can assure those who follow me that your imagination is often worse than the reality. Pre op sucks, but you won't notice after. Good luck!

This app is driving me absolutely insane ive been trying to post stuff for at least a week and a half and I can't the whole app shuts down !!!

I got my surgery time!! It's Monday @ 1:10pm!

I am a lil scared of something going wrong during surgery because I did not follow my pre-op diet @ all, I have 2 more days left, I will be doing the pre op diet to a T, and also I have to drink citrate magnesium on Sunday to clear out bowels and I hope it helps & that nothing goes wrong! Good luck to everyone!!!

Hi. My surgery date is Monday, Feb. 18. I am so excited and ready for this. I'm sort of nervous though. I had my stomach stapled (?VBG) back in 1989 or 1990. It didn't work - obviously. (I know 2 other people that had that surgery. It didn't work for them either.) I'm so hopeful that I'm successful this time. I've been told that this surgery has evolved - and is MUCH IMPROVED compared to the old procedure. I know 4 people that have had gastric bypass within the last few years and they ALL lost major amounts of -weight. The pre-op education is entirely different. There was none the first time I had surgery.

Has anyone else had their VGB revised to Gastric Bypass? There's probably another forum where I should be typing this. :rolleyes: I did want to "get on the list". Good luck to everyone ... I'm so ready!!!

So the horrid diarrhea has evolved into really bad nausea (no vomiting so far thank goodness) and dizziness. I had probably a dozen patients this week with a stomach bug. This is making me nervous!!!! I cannot be sick Monday!!! Heck, we've had me on tamiflu for 2 weeks trying to make sure I didn't catch the flu from patients (it's rampant around here right now), if a stomach bug takes me down I will be more than upset!!!! Fingers crossed...

      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.
