Almost surgery time



Recommended Posts

Hey guys !! I'm schedule for June 26 for my sleeve surgery. I have a lot of anxiety and I'm just thinking on how I'm going to feel. My family is supported but my fiancé and his mother are not. They feel that I could died, that I'm going to develop something bad and they are not supported at all [emoji20]. What can I do ??? This is my 1st surgery in my life.

I felt the same way as you. I was sooo scared! I had my surgery Wed, and I have not had ANY pain meds, just Tylenol in the hospital. I feel fine physically, just some gurggling, but the gas x helps that alot. My only problem is drinking. I have been having a very hard time getting fluids in. And i'm pretty tired. Each day seems to get a little better. I think you will do great! I am glad its over, now its time to get to work on the new me!!!

I am sorry that your fiance is not being supportive. Maybe that will change once you have had the surgery. This forum can be a great support to you. I pray you have a safe surgery and recovery quickly.

      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.
