Sitting in waiting room, slightly freaking out



Recommended Posts

Try not to be scared people. It is but a small moment in time with a little bit of interim discomfort, which will lead you to a better, happier and longer life. Besides, you get lots of legal, free drugs to keep you all warm and comfy! Free drugs! Yay! it'll be like going back to your student days!

Hang in there, folks, you'll be fabulous and it will be fabulous. Let us know how you get on - we'll be thinking of you :) x

DreamBig,

I was in your spot 2 days ago. Anxious, nervous, and excited all wrapped together. My surgery was to start at 10:15, then I got pushed back due to a trauma emergency. It made my day even longer. Hang in there, don't be afraid to take pain meds and try to walk. Prayers for everyone who are making these decisions everyday.

Hang in there - these nerves are normal. I also waited by myself (3 hours), and wanted to leave a time or two, but didn't and it was the best decision EVER. It will be over before you know it and all will be well. :)

      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.
