Nerves are getting out of control!



Recommended Posts

Hello Sleevers! I start my liquid diet on September 22nd and I'm nervous for that but even more nervous that surgery is coming up so quickly. I suffer from anxiety and depression! I was just wondering how everything went for others who suffer from this. I don't wanna freak out the day of surgery and not go through with it.

I'm three days out and suffer from panic attacks. I did not have any panic moments. I was strangly calm in the preop room. Then they gave me something and all your nerves dissipate. Everything you read on here is exactly how it happens. I can tell the difference of how much better i feel just from yesterday. I wish you the best!

You should be nervous. If you are not, I'd be worried about you. But before your surgery, you might want to talk to your doctor about your meds. I had to switch from Extended release post surgery to regular release. The pills didn't hang around in the stomach long enough. So research your meds and WLS.

I start the preop liquid diet. My surgery is scheduled for 10/5. Its my second time. My insurance denied me at the last minute the time before. Everyone keeps asking if i am nervous, but im oddly not. Maybe when i get closer to the date i will freak out.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?

      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.
