Surgery in the Morning (Nov. 11)!



Recommended Posts

I am in the final countdown. I am to be at the hospital at 6:30 and my surgery is scheduled for 7:30. I am first one up.

They originally said I would automatically stay overnight but now say I will most likely come home as long as I can swallow. How nice that will be to be able to sleep in my own bed!

I also did not want to leave my kids alone all night. They are all teens and my oldest is 17 and more than capable of being in charge all night but I just like to be there when they go to sleep and when they wake up.

I am excited :willy_nilly:and nervous :willy_nilly:and jittery :willy_nilly:and fidgety :willy_nilly:and everything else you can think of!

Pray for me!:eek:

How are you doing now? I had my surgery on 11/11 also. Are you feeling ok? Having any problems? I am having a pretty tough time. The Clear Liquids are fine, but I am in major pain. Having anything like that?

      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.
