Surgery in a few hours!



Recommended Posts

Hey guys! So I’m up early (4am here) so that I can get to the hospital at 5:30 for check in. I am a bundle of nerves, and even have quite the turning tummy! I hope it goes away once I get there! Anyways, I appreciate any prayers and well wishes for today. This is my first surgery ever! So I’m not sure what to expect. I can’t wait to join everyone on the losers bench! I’ve been working towards this for so long!! Well thank you guys and I will check back in later and let you all know how it went!! 🌟💜🌟

AshAsh, forward bravely. You know you can do this, center yourself on what is ahead and what you know you must do. You trust your surgeon, put your life calmly and peacefully into his care, you know he and his staff will keep you safe until you awake on the other side. No 💦just Joy for the future.

Thanks everyone! I’ve been so sleepy so it’s been tough to get on here! So yesterday was a little rough. Had a lot of nausea, even threw up once. Had very little pain at all. But today I woke up a new woman! I have little to no pain with the meds and I have no nausea. I’ve been up around walking and prefer sitting in my chair to the bed. The only bad thing is that I have to do the swallow test twice and I failed twice. For some reason my stomach is too swollen and it won’t leave the esophagus so that is my goal. Still no Water so I can’t wait to get some!! Thank you everyone for your positive vibes and prayers!!

      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.
