Today is surgery day"



Recommended Posts

I'm pre op but I think I have read on here warm fluids help sometimes?

I've tried warm fluids but they didn't help much. Thankfully this morning I'm feeling better. I sure hope the worst is behind me! When do you go for your surgery? :)

As long as there are no more hoops to jump through! They do have a week to put more obstacles in my way! I went yesterday and the doctor decided I needed cardiac clearance before surgery! I was lucky enough to find a cardiologist that could get me in today! I got cleared!!

I am so close I'm not going to let them stop me!

I totally understand that feeling! I had to go to monthly appointments for 6 months before my insurance would approve the surgery. I kept saying I wouldn't believe it was happening until it happened. Surgery day I was in my gown and all and still said I wouldn't believe it until it happened. It seems like when you want something really bad, there's a lot of obstacles. But you only have one more week and it WILL happen! :)

      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.
