Surgery in a couple hours and I can't sleep



Recommended Posts

Hi Fabulous!

Sorry you can't sleep. It's exciting and when the decision is made after all that work for approval it's gotta be over the top exciting.

I'll be thinking about you tomorrow.

Take care and you're gonna do great!

Sweet dreams.

I was the same way. It is hard to get the mind in a place to let you rest when you have such a big day tomorrow. Try to at least rest, even if you can't sleep well.

Good luck tomorrow. I'm sending you good thoughts.

Just think of ALL the good things. Think about all the new clothes, how you will feel, the confidence you will have!!!!

Just be excited and happy you are changing yourself for the better!!!!

If it makes you feel any better, I got to the hospital the day before my surgery. So I had to sleep in a hospital bed and stew over the decision I was making. I literally made myself sick. All. Night. Long.

But I'm 4 months post op, and so happy with my life now!! It's different, yes, but SO WORTH IT!
Good luck, and I'm so happy for you!!

There has not been a moment of regret. I'm 5 mo post op and down 117lbs. I've barfed my brains out. But that's only because I ate too fast, wrong stuff or didn't listen to the doctors. It's worth it. It's soooo worth it.

      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.
