Day of Surgery!



Recommended Posts

As a preop newbie reading journals of people going through surgery gave me a way better idea of what to expect and now its finally my turn. My surgery is in a few hours and im hoping to give the best insight I can. Im on my way to the hospital now and im feeling really nervous. Im hopeful though! Ive been on a 3 day liquid diet which was what my doctor had prescribed. Its raining today and I love the rain :) ill update as soon as im able after surgery! Send prayers my way!!

Okay guys.... surgery lasted about an hour and waking up immediately after was very painful. It felt like my back and chest were in a vice. Do yourself a fqvor and ask for a heating pad as soon as you are able. Falling asleep while typing this so im gonna make it short. Thank you all for your amazing support. The power of your prayers and kind words helped me through a very scary day.

Update- my back is killing me I think its 60 from pressure and 40 percent that im unable to get comfortable. I sent my boyfriend to get a back massager..which feels good on the pressure pains. Going into this I want sure how much discomfort I would have..I had this idea that I would be medicated and comfortable, but there is only so much they can do. Still no fluids but im not missing food! More to come!

Its very true when they say every hour you get better. I feel very week and extremely uncomfortable but my pressue pains are gone from yesterday. I havnt slept more than 1 hour at a time and I seem to be reacting to my pain meds a but with itching all over. Ive started to feel my insicion pains more. So the first night has been a little rough but more uncomfortable than anything else. Ill let you know how tomorrow goes!

      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.
