Recommended Posts

Hello folks,

My surgery is set for Monday morning! Nervous, excited, nervous, excited.......

This is officially my first surgery (except for a c-section). I am very nervous about going under anaesthesia.

This forum has been so helpful and I thank you for all the information and sharing.

Night before surgery.............

I am strangely calm. I didn't get everything completed at home that I planned, but that's ok. Clear Liquids until midnight, then NPO. I'm nervous about the surgery and how I'll deal with emotions post op.

Here's an idea I am going to try: I wrote all kinds of emotional thoughts (yup, from the forum) that might come up. You know them: "What did I just do?" "I wish I never did this" "I'm so sad." "The pain is worse than I thought." This way when feelings and doubt creeps in (or jumps in full force) I can see that it is normal and I can get through it. I'll let you know how it works.....or doesn't. Good luck to all my surgery date friends!!!!!!

      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.
