Last day of pre-op, so freaking hungry



Recommended Posts

I cannot concentrate on anything other than the rumbling in my tummy! Just clear broth and sugar-free beverages for me yesterday an today, and I am ravenous!

My surgery is first thing tomorrow morning. I had a little pity party this afternoon thinking of all my favorite foods I probably won't be able to enjoy anymore like sandwiches on crusty french bread, pizza, rice, Pasta. Tears were shed. Children were snapped at through no fault of their own.

Sigh. I need this day to end!

Update: I had my surgery on Wednesday at 7:30 in the morning. By about 3 o'clock I felt great and was ready to go home. Then around 4:00 I got a terrible headache and overwhelming nausea. Walking and the drug Reglan seemed to help a bit and I finally got home around 8 o'clock last night.

Today, I'm just hanging out in bed taking pain pills and napping. I have to admit, there is more pain than I expected. And I have had many 'what have I done to myself' thoughts since yesterday.

Hoping the pain lessens in the next few days and can get on with life!

I was banded almost a week ago, and yesterday was really the first day I felt "better" I quit pain meds by day 3 because they made me nauseous even with anti naseuse meds. I have wavered off the broth diet a few times......small bites noodles ect, and have had no issues, not that I'm saying this is ok, just saying, maybe it won't all be saying goodbye to foods, as much as it will be saying goodbye to portion sizes ???? sugar free Jello also is good on a clear liquid diet, just not the red kinds, and it helps you feel like you "ate" something????

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
