Are any of you scared? It hits me hard at times about what's going on and the what if's but other times I'm excited and can't wait for surgery

I was initially sched for the 14th. 2 of my 3 daughters really got on my case about it because one works in a doc office and she sees the people who have really bad post op complications. My other daughter, who is a nursing supervisor at a major Atlanta hosp was doing the same. I was good to go until they started in on me. I called the office and got an appt this past wk, with one of my daughters present. Her questions were answered. I am scheduled for this coming Tues, 21. I am scared, only because of the lung issues I have with lots of health issues before going in that could cause a bad ending to all of it. My oldest is expecting our first grand baby. I want to be here and be able to play with him!

So question I see that everyone is saying they can't drink as much liquid and aren't hungry, but I'm starving on this liquid diet like hungry hungry why

[Dedeains 11]

dskinner88 I was hungry on the liquid diet as well, but I think it was more mental than actual hunger. Also, I felt very week on the liquid diet. Thurs I started the purée phase and now I'm beginning to get a little more strength. Good luck!

I'm having pain on my right side. Also a small portion of my tummy is numb and it feels strange. I've been home since the 16 of February. I bought a brand new catnapper lazy boy recliner before surgery, so glad I did cause I can sleep laying down yet. It's very comfy. Went for a walk around the block today. It really helps keep the gas moving. There have been a couple of days since I've been home that I've over eaten. I haven't felt hungry just eating when I'm supposed to. I can't tell what full feels like yet. I ended up in misery a few nights. Talked with my bariatric coordinator today and she said I shouldn't eat if I'm not hungry. I was worried maybe I wasn't eating enough. Back to liquids today. Fell much better. Will be extra careful and slow when I start back on purred food.

I totally understand. I have major pain in my left side and rib cage.. it hurts to even take a breathe in. Today my dr did a chest x ray to rule out pneumonia. I don't know if I am hungry or not. So worried about not getting enough in so I think I am overdoing it..

[tasharss22 56]

So I go in for surgery tomorrow and am very scared!

Yaaaay. I will pray for you.. you will be [emoji108]?

Yaaay.. sending prayers..
The gas pain is wicked and not fun.. but walk walk walk and remember it's only temporary and is a little hurdle to get over to the long term healthier you..
