Doesn't feel real



Recommended Posts

I scheduled for surgery on January 31st but it doesn't feel real I just have a feeling that something will come up and it won't happen , I'm not nervous or worried about the surgery I just get waiting for something to happen to stop it . I'm still doing great with my liquid diet and getting everything ready. And trying to stay positive but I just have that feeling

Stay positive. I know the feeling, can't believe that I received the approved phone call Wednesday and another call today saying that I'm scheduled for Feb 8th!!

It's totally normal to feel that way. I felt that way all the way to the operating room. I had surgery Wed. Everything went fine, I was home on Thursday and haven't had any pain since the night of my surgery.

That's how I feel but we have to stay positive. We defeat ourselves with our thoughts... Negative in Negative out! I think my problem is the fact that being overweight is all I know. Now this will change everything we need to embrace the change we're making. This is a New Beginning for all of us you'll be fine.

The count down to surgery is exciting, but stressful. You will do great!!! I would try to think of all that was done to bring me to that point - so much has gone right so far to get you to a surgery date!!!!

      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.
