Surgery in the morning, CANT SLEEP!



Recommended Posts

I have to be at the hospital at 5:30, there is no way I'll be going to sleep tonight. I'm so anxious, nervous, excited, all kinds of emotions! I'm not concerned with the actual surgery, just the after surgery part. Please everyone say a prayer for me!

You know how a brand new leather shoe feels when you wear it for the first time? Its rigid until you break it in...and it will get better every day. The key is to walk as much as possible. It will not only loosen your new stomach, it will rid your body of the gas that gets trapped during the procedure. I can't stress it enough...walk as much as you can, post-op. You won't experience much pain...just take it slow and don't push yourself too much. I am 8 months post-op and down 90 lbs. It will happen to each of you too! Best wishes on your journeys. :-)

Surgery went great! No complications, he said I did wonderful. I'm in a little pain, but there's this neat little button they gave me to push as needed! Hehe! Thank you all for the prayers and well wishes.

      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.
