You are doing the right thing for yourself, it's the right time to do it, try to get some rest tonight, and tomorrow will take care of itself. Update us when it's finished, we love happy reports.

I’m so anxious and nervous to do the surgery hoping for the best just a bit scared has anyone had pre surgery jitters



Congratulations! It’s ok to be nervous anytime you’re having surgery.

I had my surgery last Monday and am almost feeling back to normal today. Only mild discomfort with my incisions, can sleep on my side now -YAY!, and got to introduce puréed type foods this week.

Look forward to taking this journey with you. Please come join our March Gastric Bypass group on here when you’re up to it!

Wishing you an uneventful surgery and a speedy recovery. Just remember to sip, sip, sip and walk, walk, walk as soon as you can.

Thank you for the well wishes I went in nervous but then calmed down when i remembered why i was doing the surgery but the surgery went great I'm 11 days post op and I'm feeling almost 100% myself I had the side discomfort couldn't lie on my side at all and it was difficult because I have back pain and I'm a side sleeper but attempting to even sleep on my side was painful but I am happy to say that I can finally sleep on my side the pain has since gotten much better

So you're back to sleeping on your side again and turning the corner between surgery and your future. Wow pretty good for 2 weeks, aren't you proud of you? Sounds like only good things from now on[emoji106][emoji14]

yes I'm proud of myself i doubted in the past I could even make it this far but my bariatric team at hahnemann hospital were great they motivated me and saw my determination and even stopped me from backing out when i was going through personal issues but I'm glad i did go through with the surgery i do have days that I feel tired and weak but it was mainly because i was not intaking enough Protein the vanilla cream pure protein was not good and it was hard to drink so i switched to chocolate its much better i see my surgeon this thursday to see if she thinks I'm ready for full liquids but i have been walking and taking my Vitamins ect following doctors orders i will start the gym within a month post op

      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.
