Surgery tomorrow but I feel alittle sick.



Recommended Posts

Hey everyone. I'm new here and so excited to be here. My surgery is tomorrow March 14th, we are leaving to stay the night in town at a hotel tonight. I've been super nervous and all those last minute jitters. My main question is I woke up today alittle chest congested, they say don't come if your sick. I've been waiting sooooo long for this, so do I go and let the dr decide? or do I call and ask if I should reschedule in the morning? Which I DONT WANT TO DO. Please I need advice.

Hummmmm. I think I would want the doctor to decide but I wonder if you will get that far. If I remember correctly they asked at the checking desk if I had any of the COVID symptoms (they listed them all out). Hopefully it’s nothing and you still get to go through with it but better safe than sorry so definitely tell The doctor.

Are you feeling any better with your congestion? I don’t have an answer, but I would probably not cancel unless you get worse. They can always listen to your chest if necessary.

That's what I thought too. Weather has been finicky here in north Dakota and warmer today so I wonder if that did it. I do feel slightly better. Thank you for your imput.

Thank you. They didn't cancel. Anesthesia listened to my lungs and I'm on the other side of surgery about 10hrs out in recovery.

Yay. I was thinking about you today. So glad they didn’t make you cancel.

      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.
