Big Day, Anxiety I can't drink to relax!



Recommended Posts

Hello my surgery is today, I can't sleep because Soooooo, nervous. I'm really scared. My husband doesn't makes it any better, with the negativity. He is scared too I know .I tried to clean my colon out so I don't crap on the table. Packed and ready to go. I don't know if it's anxiety, scared-ness , fear , or all of these above. Did anyone else felt or feels the same?

Yes, I was there as many of us were but when you wake up its a feeling of a new you about to happen! Your life will forever change and you have to look to long term! I'm 10 weeks post op...down 64lbs and 4 clothes sizes plus off my blood pressure, diabetic and asthma meds! I feel so much better and admire my new looks everyday in the mirror! You will do just fine and best of luck to you and your new journey! It's awesome! The only advice I can say is walk, walk, walk (especially first week) and take your vitamins!

Yes, I think I went into a zone and cleaned and put things away before surgery like jewelry that I couldn't find right after surgery. Unless I'm just older lol.

But yes, I completely understand. May you be blessed to have an easy surgery and speedy recovery.

You are good because you can describe what joy feel! I couldn't even describe my feelings on my surgery day 12/5/13. I felt like I was present but absent from my body watch this thing play out. I couldn't stop smiling. You will be find and he is just concerned. Every time he gets like that, hug him and tell him you love him. Speed recovery to you and invest in gas-x. Post when you can and good luck.

I was very nervous until I walked into the hospital. At that point, a sense of calm came over me. I knew without a doubt that I was doing the best thing for my health and I just put all of my trust into my surgical team. It will be over before you know it. Good luck today and congrats!

      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.
