Pre-op Tomorrow



Recommended Posts

I'm sooo nervous. I have my preop at 11:30 with the surgeon then at 2:30 we have the preop class to attend.

I am defiantely scared to death about not "passing" when it comes to not gaining any weight.. i doubt i have but my life will be thrown up side down if they cancel my surgery for ANY reason!!

WISH ME LUCK!!!!!!!!!!

Neat little info site there Katie. Looks like you're way ahead of the band, don't know why you're so nervous, you're a sure thing and you'll do just fine. I wish you the best.

My mom will be right ahead of you on the 7th.

well they didnt cancel!! hehe but I did gain 2 pounds since january GAHHHHH rofl in my mind i feel like "whats 2 more pounds" hehe but all is still a go thank goodness.

then i met with the surgeon.. found out i *AM* staying overnight and if i dont want to go home the 2nd night he will keep me.

then at the preop class i got my post op diet stuffs and was told about 2000000 times about 3 surgies in the last week they canceled because the patients liver was to big. so now im paranoid about that!!

sigh i cant wait till its all over hehe at least they did give me drugs i went and got my prescription now for liquid lortab hopefully its just perfect (not to strong not to weak)

      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.
