Surgery in 3 days and i am nervous



Recommended Posts

I will be banded on monday November 24th and I am really starting to get nervous. I feel like a kid waiting for christmas day to get here. It is all I can think about. I am even having a hard time sleeping at night and my stomach is constantly roaring. I am very excited to start my new journey.:drool:

I will post after surgery to let everyone know how things went.

Good luck!

I am 3 days post-op and I felt the same exact way. I was just ready to get going. The night before I got super nervous. Kind of like "why on earth am I doing this" but my husband and friends kept me focused and now I'm in bandlandia.

Keep up the good work and let us all know how you did after surgery.:drool:

I am almost two weeks post op and was the same way. I did everything from get a massage to take long aromatic bathes to get my mind off of it. I finally just got out of the house and saturated myself of other things. That was the only thing that worked.

I was packed WEEKS before my surgery!:)

I remember how I was in the last few days prior to my surgery. It is such an exciting time! You are both nervous about the surgery part, and excited to finally be starting your new life. Before you know it, you will be an official bandster and on your way. Let us know how everything goes.

      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.
