Night before surgery



Recommended Posts

At this moment reading some the post I feel like " I can do this". There were several moments day where I wonder if i was making the right choose. I guess it is good that I am not going into this lightly ( no joke intended). I did find the shake only diet difficult. i missed chewing I think. I hope there is a difference with pre-op hungry liquid diet and the post=op liquid diet. I am praying the intake of just liquids will not bother me since I should not have the hunger.

My bag is packed...not taking much and the alarm is set for 4AM. I sure hope that I can sleep tonight and that I will have a sense of peace in the morning.

Please stay a little prayer for me around 7Am tomorrow.

You will be okay. Try to get some sleep. Tomorrow will be a long day. Hope all goes smoothly for you.

You'll do great tomorrow! The day before my surgery everyone who knew kept asking if I was ready or similar things. I was so confident in my choice, similar to you, and I haven't regretted it! Everyone is different, but I haven't felt hungry since my surgery (2/18). I'm on the all liquids and it hasn't bothered me. The thought of eating something at the moment makes me feel sick. I hope your have little pain and recovery quickly!

      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.
