Surgery Thursday and Nervous/ Prayers needed



Recommended Posts

Was originally scheduled a week and a half ago but chickened out - doing revision Thursday and feel at it ease after talking to someone who has had the surgery. I have no major medical issues and I am probably very low risk but surgery is always scary

titan05, I was nervous about surgery too! I was even worried when I was in the OR about to be put out. It is scary, but it will all work out for the best. :) The first few weeks are hard, but it will be worth it because in the end you will feel so much better and your health will improve. Prayers for strength and courage for you.

Everyone is nervous before surgery and it is normal. Try to stay positive!! It will be alright and so much better (first weeks are the most difficult but you can do this).

      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.
