I've gotten approved for my surgery and now im so afraid I'm a single mom of 3, and i don't want to leave them behind



Recommended Posts

I'm also a single mom. Two days pre-op I spent about 8 hours bawling while writing my 'if you're reading this then something went very wrong' letters....I have since shredded them cuz, well, drama much??? In reality the chances of me dying from complication from obesity are much higher than dying from surgery....but you couldn't tell me that on that night!!! It's scary, but chances are you'll do fine and be a healthier, happier mom for your babies :). Good luck!!!

I am scared. I don't have a good track rec under the knife or anesthesia. Seems like something always happens. I am a worrier and though I know statistics, they haven't been on my side before. I can only beg God to bring me through Surg and have no post-Surg life endangering complications..... And I can ask for prayers from all of u, real quick. I know u all are very busy, but I hope u can. :-) God Bless.

      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.
