Tomorrow is the BIG DAY!



Recommended Posts

Tomorrow I will be off to be sleeved and I am up with feeling all types of emotions, I think the fear is starting to kick in too, but I know that I chose this for the right reasons. I am having a 3 for 1 special - sleeve, Hiatal Hernia Repair, and gallbladder removal.

Any advice on getting over the jitters before surgery?

Everything you're going through is normal and expected. Concentrate on how much better you are going to feel in the long run.

You will do great!

Make sure everything at home is ready for you to come home. Then just ride it out. Jitters are normal and part of the process. Wishing you a smooth surgery and a speedy recovery!

      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.
