The Nerves are kicking in!



Recommended Posts

So I have been following this board since about October when I decided to have WLS. I view this board every day. For months I have felt prepared (from my own research and here), but now I'm starting to feel nervous. Maybe becuase I can no longer say my surgery is next month, I am scheduled for surgery on April 28th. I am going to try not to go full blown PYSCHO before my surgery! LOL

Congrats on your journey. You are going to be great and there is no reason to be nervous. The only real pain I felt was the gas but that was gone the next day. I just remember being so tired and drugged up. I was very nauseous because of the meds they had me on so they put me on toredol and I was so much better. The next day I was walking fine and moving around and ready to go home.

      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.
