Anyone Else Nesting Before Surgery?



Recommended Posts

I have seriously been nesting here. I've scrubbed my house from top to bottom; cleaned out every room, including the garage; and, even done 3 dump runs. I'm just about to go through all the cabinets in the kitchen to rearrange and organize them, donating old items that we never use. I feel like I'm totally nesting here and I think I may be driving my husband insane. I cannot relax to save my life these days before surgery. I'm so anxious for this surgery and I still am having nightmares that they're going to tell me I can't have the surgery. Anyone else going through this?

YES!! I'm doing the the exact same thing. There are so many things I keep thinking I should get done. At least it's burning calories ;)

I call it cleaning house and keeping busy which takes my mind off food, even now. Good luck.

I did that! I bought all my daughter's back to school supplies and clothes, too. The best thing is, I came home from surgery to a sparkly clean house!

I did the same thing the two days before surgery! I cleaned the house from top to bottom and stocked up on all the post-surgery supplies I had jotted down. I liked the idea of coming home to my new life with a clean house.

I did the same thing! My surgery is tomorrow and my house us sparkling!

I love cleaning so it made it easy.

I cleared the walkways too, just to make it simple getting to and from the bathroom/kitchen.

      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.
