Surgery at 8 a.m.! Not long to go!



Recommended Posts

Almost there! I will be on the other side in the morning! I have to be at the hospital at 7 a.m. to register and start pre op. I will have surgery around 8:30 a.m. tomorrow. I am so excited! I have my wonderful husband at my side and I know he will be praying for me the whole time and he will be a great help with my recovery. I'm so blessed to have him with me! Just finished dropping my babies off at my sister's house for the next three days. I know they will have fun while I am at the hospital. I had two great church services today and was prayed over and feel awesome about my surgery and recovery! Feeling Blessed! :)

My husband and i both did this in Nov and Dec, 2 weeks apart. It was scary, more so because of our terrible health problems. Looking back, it was like holding our breath waiting for lightening to strike or something bad, but it never happened. No vomiting, no nausea, no pain at home, just 24 hours in the hospital and then taking it easy and worrying as our bodies adjusted and we slowly felt our way through this. We really took it slow, did not go stick foods in our mouths that should not be there. Follow the guidelines, and here's a prayer for you to have this surgery and do as well as two 67 year olds!

      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.
