Surgery in just over 24 hours!



Recommended Posts

Hi Everyone,

I will be having surgery on Tuesday at 8:30. I'm very excited! I have lost 15 pounds on the pre-op diet, I almost can't believe it. I'm thrilled and really looking forward to the life change. I'm very nervous about the surgery just because I haven't ever been through one (aside from wisdom teeth). I took some before pictures a few days ago and can't wait to start posting new ones!!!

Good luck to you. I was banded on the 2nd and seem to be doing well. I'm sure you will be too.

Sounds like our surgeries are going to be very close! Mine is scheduled at 8:15 a.m. on Tuesday. I had my first bout of nerves just a few minutes ago. I have had several surgeries, but no matter how many you have, you still get a little nervous. Good luck to you :tongue_smilie:

Congrats! I'm tomorrow also. Mine is at 8 Eastern Time, so I may be the first one tomorrow. I'll post as soon as I'm able, and y'all do too!

The bowel prep thing has me pretty sick right now, but I just decided to stop drinking the stuff. I'm already clear and liquid so I don't know what more they want.

My nerves are starting to kick in too, but we CAN DO THIS!

      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.
