Can't sleep, surgery in am



Recommended Posts

Been trying to sleep for a while now, have taken a sleeping pill at 9 pm still wide awake.

Surgery in the am bet that's my reason for still being awake now. Normally I'm falling asleep by 8-9 pm, yep early to bed and early riser. Not that I like it that way, just seems to be how it is.

What are all the Oct 27 sleevers doing now?

Can u believe I don't remember!

After the versed in the holding room I don't remember anything. Even moving over to the operating table and when I got to my room getting in this bed! Wow that was some powerful stuff.

Ok I'm drifting, going to see if they will put me to bed.

Later, Linda

      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.
