Surgery 12/30th second thoughts?



Recommended Posts

Can anyone tell me why prior to surgery I was so adamant on trying to get approved for surgery. Now that my surgery is less than 4 days away..

I am so nervous :(

I'm questioning everything now. It does not help either when you have people in your ear telling you, you need to think about what you're doing, or telling you NOT to do it!!! All these emotions..these negative people around me.

How do i retrain my thoughts? Tell the negative Nancy's to stop....????

Any advice would be helpful.

Thanks everyone.

Your going through the same every one of us that has had surgery went through, it's all normal to feel as you do

I even felt like jumping off the bed as they were giving me my general anaesthetic lol I'm so glad I didn't it's the best thing I've ever done , and you'll feel the same as time goes by

Your going to feel wonderful as the weight drops off

Hang in there good luck xo

Tell them to STFU, STHD, & MIND THEIR OWN D@#$ BUSINESS!

That's been my motto since I decided to take the plunge and get a healthier me! Not dealing with Negative Nancy's or Negative Norman's.......they're just haters of the worst kind. I've seen and heard the reactions from various family members regarding other members having the surgery and I'm not built for jail-which is where I'd end up after beating the brakes off of one of them for not minding their own business (although I could make a very convincing case for a 302 placement! Lol).

      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.
