Tomorrow is the Day



Recommended Posts

Tomorrow is the big day. Of course I picked a surgery date that involves winter weather, which in the South is disastrous. But luckily it will not start until after I am in the hospital and thru with Surgery. Its been almost a year process to get here due to what my insurance required and some work issues that had to be handled before I felt ready and could concentrate me. My physicians office "plan" has over prepared me for almost everything. Its so comprehensive and I feel sorry for some bariatric patients that I come into contact with. I'l like "they didn't tell you about that". I work in health care and are notoriously bad patients, but the nerves have passed and I'm ready for the next chapter in my life, I plan on waking up from the surgery already on the path to the new me.

Mine is tomorrow too! I'm all nerves. Never had a surgery before of any kind, not even wisdom teeth. I'd say I have butterflies, but i've been on liquids for two weeks so I can attest there's nothing in my tummy at all LOL. We will both be on our way to being healthy soon... life is good :) My mom had an RNY last monday, and she is doing fabulously. She's been walking and enjoying her time off since day 3. The only crying she's done is tears of joy!

Best of luck to you! Keep us posted how it goes when you can :)

Surgery went well MD said it could not have went much better. Got home around 4 yesterday afternoon. Was really sleepy yesterday, but today I've been able to stay awake. Got all my Protein in and even walked on the treadmill for awhile. Glad to hear you have done well also.

      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.
