Anxious is putting it mild



Recommended Posts

I have to have a stent put in my leg with a filter because of a genetic blood clotting disorder I have suffered from. A lapband taken out it has destroyed my insides and the gastric bypass. I am nervous and anxious. My husband is 100 percent supportive of my decision but not pushy. I need support. My story is a lot more complicated. I am scared. My surgery is July 14 but the days and making me more nervous. Yes I think of the positive often by negative scares me too. What somebody calls this routine for most it isn't for me. I need a support system. Are looking for the same?

after all your pro's and cons

your decition is the only one that matters

nerves, excitement - are all perfectly normal

@littlefoot. I'm so proud of you to make the decision for the bypass. With all that you've been through it must be a hard decision to have made. I hope this time you will find the tools and approach to make your WLS a success. It's sounds like you are in great hands with a surgeon who is proactive about your care. Good luck and stay strong.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
