Surgery tomorrow



Recommended Posts

Just got the call from the hospital, surgery tomorrow at 1pm. Can't believe it's here, kind of calm yet freaking out inside. Fears of being put under keep racing through my head. My 5 month journey coming to a climax tomorrow. What am I to expect after surgery?

Hello To All.. Unfortunately I'm not having an easy time, my lungs are killing me, the tube they use for your airways gave them difficulty, the said it's very narrow.. They put me on Clear Liquids and I have been drinking every 15 to min of 1 table spoon.. It's hard for me.. I've vomited already.. I'm truly struggling with meeting the 64 oz.. I don't know how anyone else is but for me. I did walk.. But I have no energy.. My incision that were done are only 4 instead of 6.

      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.
