Recommended Posts

I go in tomorrow morning for the band and I am now nervous. Up to this point I was calm and ready but now I am somewhat freaking out!! I know I will be ok but now is when I am thinking about all the things that could go wrong. I have had numerous surgeries that were have to cases...I am not sure if is because this is one I chose to do but man am I nervous. Probably nervous because this is the start of the rest of my life of happiness, and less pain from all the ailments that come with being overweight. :wink2:

Ida,

You should be excited, this is a big day. AND you are going to do wonderfully. Just think of all of the success that is waiting in front of you.. A little bit of pain, for a whole lot of personal gain and pride.

As long as you are confident in your surgeon, you know you are in good hands.

PLEASE keep us updated as we will be rooting for you.

Be Well

Yay! Don't stress too bad! *haha* I was a total nervous wreck before my surgery too. It ended up to be no trouble at all! Before you know it you'll be waking up after the surgery and ready to start the healing process. I feel like my life has finally taken a turn in the right direction after my surgery, and before you know it you'll feel the same way. Good luck!

ida...same thing happened to me. i wasnt nervous till right before surgery.

what calmed me down was thinking about all the successful people that had gone before me and were glad they did it. they had new lives they were living. this really made me feel better

good luck and breathe deeply if you get scared....

it will be the best decision you ever made for yourself (or at least one of them)

      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.
