TOMORROW IS MY SURGERY!



Recommended Posts

Ahhhh I can't believe it, I made it!! Tomorrow is my procedure!!!! I want to cry!!

I am on a liquid diet today and yesterday. I am beating myself up because yesterday I ate bread! I was soooo hungry! Today has been better though. I hope my little cheat doesn't effect my surgery.

Did anyone else slip up on their pre op diet?

How was the pain when you wake up right after the procedure?

Good luck!! Yeah I slipped a little but I would like to think I did well as a whole, were all just human. I had a rougher go then most when waking up (found out I was allergic to morphine and some other pain meds) but the pain is well worth it and I'm sure you'll do great!!

July 7 is my date too. I'm so ready to not be starving on this liquid diet!

As for cheating, I had some fat free shredded cheese one day and a few days I had 5 of the new direction products instead of 4 because I could not handle the hunger!

Good luck to you.....I'll be anxious to hear how you are after the surgery.

      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.
