Surgery in less then 24 hours



Recommended Posts

Surgery is tomorrow at 7 am. I have been crying for hours and hours. I don't know if I'm scared or having second thoughts? Has anyone felt this way? Sitting in the lobby of my hotel debating to check in or dash back to my car :(

I don't know what to say.

I've yet to have my surgery, but I'm sure I'll have lots of conflicted feels leading up to it.

I only know that I'm doing it to help me get to where I want to be......and to help me stay there for the rest of my life. I think that if I keep that in mind things will remain more clear.

I hope that you are able to gain total clarity and get in touch with why you want to have the surgery and what you believe the benefits will be in your life.

The night before any type of surgery is nerve-racking.....I assure you.

i remember being antsy as hell the night before I had an ankle tendon repaired. I had an awesome surgeon and things were fairly textbook leading up to it. I was worked up for no reason whatsoever.

Surgery is not something we have every day......and can get us weirded out.

I felt the same way in the days leading up to my surgery. I was elated, yet terrified. I knew I was making the right decision and am so happy I went through with it. I will say a prayer for you. You can do it!

      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.
