Recommended Posts

The last week and a half haven't been too bad on the pre-op diet. I'm excited but at same time getting more scared each day. My thoughts are all over the place. Anyone else almost there?

I just had my surgery yesterday! I wasn't nervous/anxious until the day of. The first day of surgery I definitely felt out of it, but today I'm home and feeling better.:) just a little tired and my stomach incisions are a little tender.

You will do great! Good luck!

I totally understand! I had my surgery on November 11 and even though I previously had a lap band, I was nervous about this surgery.

I agree, I was sore and tired but not the overwhelming pain I was afraid of.

You will do fine, best wishes!

Diane

Yes, I was operated on Wednesday around noon and went home today at the same time! I try and walk as often as possible and sip Water as much as possible too!

I was surprised at how short the actual surgery part was (only 30-40 minutes). The prep and waiting is what took forever. They gave me something to help with nerves before going I to the OR which I guess is standard. When I woke up in recovery I did feel naseus, but that quickly went away with the meds.

Keep us updated how it goes! :)

      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.
