My anxiety is going wild right now with only 24 hours left to go until surgery.

Here is my question for those who have already had surgery... What is something you didn't know before surgery that you wish you would have known?

These message boards really prepared me for surgery... My surgery has gone as they have said it would. The only thing I wish I would have paid more attention to is head hunger!!! It's killer and real!!! It will set you up for failure, so be strong!

You'll be fine and try to relax by maybe watching a movie or two. Something light and funny to try to calm your nerves.

My surgery went just like I was told it would. The only thing I wish is that I consumed more fluids then I did while in the hospital because I had to stay for four days for IV fluids. That was the only problem I had and it was me not the surgery that caused it.

I wish you the best of luck in this new chapter in your life.

No one told me that I would have far sight vision for a couple of days after getting out of anesthesia, thought I would have to go get bi-focals when I was discharged from the hospital.

      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.
