Surgery Tomorrow, Honestly terrified



Recommended Posts

So my surgery is tomorrow and honestly im fucking scared I feel like I know this the right decision for me I'm 20 years old a college student and I feel like my life is just getting started and I'm doing the surgery now because I want to have a life I have no friends spend most my days inside and I do want to change that I've been heavy my entire life ever since I can remember, I found this forum 15 minutes ago while browsing the web my current weight is round 470 pounds I am motivated to change that's not what I'm worried about I have started exercising I've been in my liquid diet for 3 weeks I've never met or known anyone on a personal level who's had this surgery let alone struggled with weight I'm doing the surgery so that I can have a life.

I guess I'm still scared maybe it's the hospital or anesthesia or I don't know.

I don't know why I came to these forms maybe I'm just looking for someone to say that I can do it. To believe in me maybe I'm just scared.

You will be so glad you made this decision. You would like a lovely young woman and you need your outside yo match your inside. The first few weeks will be tough as you'll be tired but in the grand scheme of things, it's a mere blink in time. Make certain you grab all the help you can especially in the first year. Make it count. You can do it. Prayers be with you.

I don't blame you for being afraid, but just hang in there and know you're life is about to change tomorrow and the steps you'll take thereafter you will no longer be a prisoner trapped inside your own body. You've come this far for a reason you can do this. Heck I commend you for sticking to the liquid diet for 3 weeks you've won the first battle, you went to all your appointments saw your specialists and did everything required of you and that was not easy. I wish you a successful surgery and a painless and speedy recovery.

Its completely natural to be scared. You are undergoing a major surgery and it is going to change your life.

Saying a little prayer for you and your surgical team tomorrow.

      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.
