OMG I have surgery on Monday!!! YIKES!



Recommended Posts

Crystal, you and I are Monday also, you getting nervous yet???

Nope, not yet! I am SUPER (did I say SUPER?) excited though!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have had a few surgeries in my day so I am not really nervous about that. But ask me again on Sunday and I bet my opinion will change! I went out last night and bought some Malt-O-Meal for week 2 (full liquids for me).

How are you holding up?

Hi dj:

OMG! Know the feeling. I was scheduled for next Tuesday and they moved me up to this Friday - OMG just 2 days! Got a case of the jitters last night, but not too bad. I figure if you come this far - you made the decisions - took all the testing (what fun!) - went through pre-op diet (oh joy!) then I might as well finish and go the distance. That was my decision months ago and it never waivered! Until last night!

Good luck!

Hang in there everyone....You will ALL do wonderful. I am 6 days post-op and feel almost back to normal today. If you get nauseous, like I usually do, make sure to tell them that while they are prepping you for surgery. They have a great med for your IV....and it will help you not feel nauseous when you wake up. It worked for me!! Best of luck to all of you and post updates when you are ready to share:)

      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.
