Tomorrow Is The Day!



Recommended Posts

Well tomorrow, 12/2 is my surgery. I am not nervous yet, but I'm sure I won't sleep tonight. I didn't have it as tough as some others and had no pre-op diet. However, I will have a drain and a catheter. I maybe would have preferred the pre-op diet instead.

I want to thank all the "veterans" on here for all your posts on various topics. Your posts have convinced me I can do it. Thanks to Laura-Ven, RJ's Beginning, Lipstick Lady, Gamer Girl, Butterthebean, Madame Reverie, Fiddleman and many others whose names I have forgotten. We didn't necessarily share any threads together, but always found your threads and answers interesting and your willingness to always answer questions about the 3 week stalls like it's the first time you heard it asked. ;)

I will hopefully see you tomorrow on the loser's bench and Good Luck to all the other 12/2 sleevers as well!

woo hoo!! Start of a new life tomorrow for you! Do update the is thread so we know how you're doing and if you haven't already heard this a hundred times, let me be the first to repeat it for the 101st....

  • walk, walk walk
  • focus on drinking Water, don't worry about the Protein at first. do not get dehydrated
  • remember the way you feel the first few days is not how it's always going to be.
  • rest up! it may not feel like major surgery but it is so be kind to yourself

Very best of luck to you.

Terrific. You're never going to regret your decision to change your life. Congratulations. Let us know how it goes.

By the way, I had drains and a catheter after my tummy tech surgery. They are not as bad as they seem.

Good Luck! I hope everything is going well.

I'm a bit jealous sitting here suffering through my pre-op diet. :) I can't wait to be on the recovering side of this.

Hi

I came home yesterday. The pain was more than I expected but it is all worth it. I showered today and went out to do some errands. I'm still taking pain meds at night as I can't get comfortable. I never was a back sleeper. Thanks agin for all the best 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.
