34 hours to go and i'm an emotional train wreck!



Recommended Posts

So I'm spending today and tomorrow trying to get every thing in order for the next week or two. Bills paid, valentines bought for my son, son signed up for spring soccer, house decent, laundry done, etc. my son is spending the night with his BFF, I'm laying down trying to chill out for the night, and started bawling my eyes out.

I know it's the lack of food and the pre-op jitters but OMG this sucks! Come on Monday!!!!!!

It is almost here! I so wish I was in your position, instead of having 2 months to wait yet. Best of luck to you, and I will be watching for post surgery posts. I am so grateful for this site. I am learning a lot!

Your nerves are very normal and you will do awesome. I'm almost 2 mos post op and down 52 lbs. you will have days of regret after surgery but I promise every day is a better day than before. A week out you will feel so much better. Keep yourself hydrated and walk to get the gas pains to go. 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.
