Nerves are kicking in



Recommended Posts

Tomorrow is the day, I have to call at 1 to find out what time I have to be there at. I'm so nervous, been second guessing myself on going through with it. I've come such a long journey so far with all the pre op stuff I know I can't quit.

I keep thinking about my kids if something goes wrong, being a single mom with only my mom who I take care of is around for them.

My dr has great stats, I've asked. No deaths, no one has had a leak. So I know I should be ok.

Maybe it's just my fear of a different life afterwards.

Please tell me I'm not the only one who has had crazy thoughts.

Most people have anxiety prior to surgery. Good luck on your surgery tomorrow.

Oh yeah, sure, I was thinking kooky thoughts, getting awfully nervous and all, but now I'm 12 weeks post op and down within 8 lbs of my

goal weight and I can't believe what's happened here... it's been so dramatically life changing it's hard to put into words. I feel the best decisionel

re-born.

So yes, I was doing the same thing only now I think it was the best decision of my life

I'm two days post-op and I was thinking the same thing before my surgery. Honestly, I still have concerns like maybe I over corrected! I began the process back in July 2015 and I know I was prepared for it. I think my feelings now are just the fear of this new way of life. I've been battling my weight since I can remember and TBH, I just got used to the battle and was comfortable in that place. I'm prepared to do what needs to be done based solely on the faith that it has worked for and changed so many lives!

      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.
