Surgery tomorrow



Recommended Posts

I was mortified before, during, and immediately after the surgery. At 5 days post-op, it's a whole different feeling. Be brave, and know that good things are on the horizon.

Best wishes for calmer nerves and a good day tomorrow!

My surgery is in the morning. I feel so nervous and scared. My gallbladder is being removed as well. I have come this far, why am I so scared?

My surgery is tomorrow as well. Nervous doesn't even begin to describe what I'm feeling. More like terrified.

I'm 6 days post-op and feeling great. I was terrified all the way until they gave me my happy juice. Felt good right after surgery and lost 12 pounds since last Wednesday. Don't look back, look forward, you won't regret it.

My pleasure, this is truly the best thing I have ever done. I'm realistic that there will be setbacks, disappointments, etc., but it is better than the alternative. I'm off my insulin and blood pressure meds and hope to come off all meds by yrs end. I wish you the best.

      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.
