My Surgery Is Tomorrow!



Recommended Posts

I can't believe my day is nearly here! I'm trying not to worry too much! I have a wonderful, extremely experienced surgeon operating at a center of excellence! But I can't help but worry about those out of his control things! I keep consciously having to push them out of my head and keep my eye on the prize! My babies will have Momma around for a lot longer, I'll be able to chase them and play with them! I can't wait!!! I miss my old me! Will be glad to see this self conscious overweight boring dresser go! Bring on the tickling on the floor before bed and cute riding boots, I'm ready for the change! Wish me luck surgery'a not until 12:30 EST I'll try checking in either prior or after! See you on the bench!!!!

Any who surgery went really well, tho I woke in recovery heaving non stop...so went the vicious cycle of me heaving, then getting knocked out by phenergan! They wouldn't allow my hubby back to recovery, so by the time I snapped out of he haze it was 715p,

      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.
