One Week Pre-Op!



Recommended Posts

I have one week to go until my surgery. The count down is REALLY on. I couldn’t be more excited about this change in my life.

I do have some nervous feelings, as expected l, but I believe this is the right thing to do. I am going into surgery with one of my very best friends. I will have the best support from her!

Having had surgery on my uterus l, I know the gas pain is going to be the worst part of this but I am ready to conquer it! WALK WALK WALK.

I hope everyone is doing well and for those of you waiting, your day will come!!

Gah how do you deal with the wait?!? I hate waiting. Patience is my least favorite virtue, and I've neglected it quite wonderfully. But 1 week away is fantastic! What are you doing to distract yourself? Are you on a liquid preop?

I know the pain of the gas too having had my gallbladder out, that stuff is brutal!

I stay busy cleaning my house. Visiting my mom down the road....work & family life keep my brain occupied. Someone from the outside looking in, would have NO idea I was having a major life changing operation coming up.
I start liquid Friday. Only a 3 day pre op requirement for my doctor that I am thankful for. 1200 calorie diet until then. Still downing 64+ oz Water daily.

      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.
