Nervous- getting sleeved in 3 days

[KG1985 8]

Was anyone scared or nervous for surgery? I'm not scared about the surgery I'd say the after surgery and not knowing what to eat and so on. I believe my biggest obstacle will be remembering to eat as I struggle with eating now due to my medication that I take that suppresses my appetite. I also work as a traveling night nurse. Anyone have suggestions on what is good "pureed" food and what you use for a Protein drink as I don't want to buy one that taste like chalk!

It's very normal to be nervous about the surgery and what life will be like post-op. I think all of us go through a mix of nervousness and excitement.

As for some good puree ideas, this site has some good recipes (especially the baked ricotta!):

Hello,

Congratulations on your upcoming surgery!

It is natural to feel nervous or scared. I wasn't scared or really nervous either... I was just very excited for about an entire week before surgery!

Have you tried Premier Protein shakes? I think a lot of people like them. That's what I started drinking on my 2 week pre-op diet and I still have part of a shake a day now at 10 weeks out. They don't taste chalky at all. They come in a few different flavors, my favorite is chocolate. You can get a decent price on them at Walmart and an even better price for a 12-pack of shakes at Sam's Club. They are great because 1 shake has 30 grams of Protein.< /p>

Best wishes on your surgery and a speedy recovery!

Good luck on your upcoming surgery I wish I was there already I still have to do classes also costco sells the Premier Protein shake I think it comes in a case of 24 shakes. It's a great deal compared to the grocery store

My pureed stage was from Day 18-27 post-op. I did continue to eat some of the recipes from my puree stage well into my soft food stage, though.

I love the EAS lean shakes and the premiere Protein has grown on me! The premiere shakes also seem to be getting sold in more places but Walmart is the least expensive

progress starts in the mind

I'm also 3 days away

This may seem crazy, but my wife bought a few small jars of baby food (turkey, chicken, beef etc). 6grams of Protein, 0sugar, 0 carbs and may be a perfect serving size for the new belly! Gonna clear with the Nur to be sure it's ok still. This would be in the purée stage of course...just planning ahead.

My NUT told me sometimes the shakes taste really sweet after having the surgery so she suggests diluting them with a little bit of milk.

Be excited! I was never nervous so I have no advice to give of how to overcome the nerves. I will say I have NO regrets.

Heading to Mexico Friday, surgery on Saturday. Nervous as well! Worried about how long recovery will take.
