Today is the day!



Recommended Posts

My surgery day is here. I slept fine, but woke up early but I'm treating my day as I normally would before the surgery (Walking the dog at ex time, watching tv until I normally would get ready for work, going to take my daughter to school then.... make sure I'm packed for my stay). I'm a ball of emotions- excited to start this part of my journey, anxious as my insides will be rearranged. I'm nauseous, literally, with nerves. I tried a sip of Water, didn't help. I can have Clear liquids until 8am.

But I am thankful today is the day! No doubt. I feel blessed for this opportunity and I've worked hard to get where I am. Think of me today, I'll try to post this evening. My surgery is at 11:45am.

      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.
