Surgery is set for 8am tomorrow and I am having so many mixed emotions. Anyone else??

Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I'm on EST, so it's 4:30am here and I have to be at the hospital at 12:30 today. I feel the same way. I can't sleep. What couple of hours that I did get in, I was having crazy dreams. Good Luck to you and speedy recovery.

Good luck to you too! And I guess if you're not sleeping now you definitely will be later today/ or at least you'll be knocked out.

I'm a few days post op and can't sleep myself cause I'm caught up reading about sleeve related things!

Thank you. How are you doing/feeling post op?

Good luck! I had mine 12-27 and couldn't sleep night before. SO many thoughts going through my mind. Morning of...still so nervous. Rather emotional. I thought I would be skating in that hospital door like. "YEAH! FINALLY! Woo hoo!" But felt all the nerves and emotions. But it was good. And speaking as someone that had the band once upon a time (then had to have it removed due to erosion) this surgery experience was and the recovery (so far) has not been bad at all. I mean there have been some uncomfortable moments but nothing that I couldn't handle. All and all this is my (long and rambling) way of saying mixed emotions are completely normal and you will do so great!

Surgery went well. I just have been nauseous this whole time and it's hard for me to keep anything down. It just want to come back up. Even when it's little we're my lips get wet. The only thing that keeps me going is walking and sleeping. If I'm not asleep I just feel the tenderness, nauseous, and gas pains. I am having a lot more chest and shoulder pains then abdomen. Has anyone else had this problem? They said I might have to stay another night here

I have had gas problems in the past with laparoscopic surgeries but for some reason I lucked out and have not had any this time after the first 24 hours. They are the worse so I know I'm lucky.

I had my sleeve surgery yesterday evening. I think I'm going to have to stay another night due to the severe nausea. Besides that I'm able to get up and down and also as much as I want. I anticipate the rest of the healing recovery to go smoothly once this nausea/retching goes away.

      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.
