3 days to surgery and terrified



Recommended Posts

Maybe I am in the minority here....I am so excited I am about to BITE myself to get this done. T-minus and counting....just about 30 hours. I have NO qualms about going under the knife at all. Generally when I make my mind up it's full speed ahead and damn the torpedoes, and I feel like that now. The only thing I wish is that I could just go home and go to sleep and wake up and have it be Wednesday morning and get on with it. I'm sitting here at work tapping my fingers on the desk, hardly able to concentrate on anything. I am in the ZONE and ready to GO!

Hi;

I was banded on May 15,2007 and it went well.I'm afraid of needles and the hardest part of the surgery was finding a vein.The surgery it self was over in no time.I have had gas pains but other than that everything is great....

      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.
