It's spooky close!



Recommended Posts

Tuesday is the day and the closer it gets, the more anxious I get. Not about the surgery but about having what I need in the hospital and after...lol!

Had my type and screen and did the registration and all the paperwork today. I talked to the surgeon today and he answered all my questions before I could even ask them! That made me so happy! All I have to do Tuesday is show up...at 0530!!!! :blink:

How exciting!! I'm 4 days post op and I feel great. I had it hard the day of surgery, I had to stay an extra night. But I feel so much better now. Gas pain is almost non existent for me, I haven't taken anything for pain since Wednesday, I guess it really depends on your body, your surgeon and your support team. You got this!

Congratulations!!! I pray I don't have a lot of crazy pain. U think that's my biggest concern since I have drug allergies and prefer not to take anything if I can help it. But my surgeon and my support system is great so I'm ready!!

What did you buy to prepare yourself once you got back home?

You don't sound like you are doubting your decision to have the surgery. I think that is most of the battle. As long as you know you are doing the best thing you can do for yourself, then one or two days of pain is worth what you get in return.

      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.
