I was up to 1195 calories so I didn’t want a shake. I ate a five calorie Jello and 24 oz of Water and it went away. I honestly think it was the aggravation that made my stomach release acid. It sure felt like that was what happened. Thanks for your reply.

I'm on Day 10 of the pre-op liquid diet, and I feel your pain! My only recommendation is to drink a shake whenever hunger pangs like that hit, even if it's right before bed. This is challenging enough... you shouldn't have to suffer unnecessarily!

I won’t miss “losing” the remote and then finding it under me when I stand up.

Sweating (I’m perfectly climate-controlled now).
Hiding from cameras (I loooove getting my pic taken, like ALL. THE. TIME.)
Snoring (I dont notice this, but Mr. is quite happy)
Packing a sh*t-ton of clothes whenever I leave the house for vacation or a day trip (Now, everything I need fits in my purse)
Being tired/winded at the tiniest exertion (I’ve got energy for DAYS)
Feeling shy/uncomfortable/self-conscious (i have so much confidence now its quite disgusting)

since losing some weight... sleep !
OMG i have been sleeping amazingly !!

being able to fit on a roller coaster seat with my kids
More energy
Fitting into cute clothes and shopping at regular online stores, not having to worry if they carry plus size clothes

i can sit in a booth!
I can shop in normal stores.
AND I DONT MISS SWEATING WITH EVERYTHING I DO!!!!

I used to be very afraid of anesthesia. So much so that I jumped off the table in the operating room. Of course being obese is a higher risk for undergoing anesthesia but I assume you have had all your pre-op testing and your team is aware of what concerns they need to stay on top of during your surgery. You can ask the anesthesiologist to give you something for anxiety. They put it right in the intravenous and it works in minutes. You will be wheeled into the Operating Room which will be a bit cold, brightly lit and it will have a slight echo. There will be a flurry of activity around you. I find it helpful to shut my eyes at this point and pretend as if I am going to bed for the night. Practice this if you need to. Visually see yourself in the operating room and feel the coolness, hear the slight echo but you will shut your eyes and breath in and out slowly. Another thing I do is start naming fruits and vegetables starting at the beginning of the alphabet in my head. You will likely only get to G for grapefruit. The next thing that will happen is you will wake up in recovery. You will feel a bit disoriented, nauseous possibly and you will hear the sounds of the machine beeps very loudly. Ask for something for nausea if you need it. Keeping your eyes closed and just focusing on breathing helps to get the anesthesia out of your system. Within an hour you should feel much better and then you’ll work on pain management. You can do this and you will be healthier and stronger before you know it.

I had RNY it was the best choice ever no issues no complications and lost weight really quickly 😁

Thank you I will ask for something

If you think that’s possible then ask for something for anxiety. They will give it to you while you’re still waiting to be wheeled back. You want this surgery very much to give you the ability to get back on your feet. I’m going in on the 7th. I certainly don’t like the idea of being under for a few hours versus thirty minutes for a endoscopy but most likely the worst of it will be when you wake up and still have the anesthesia working it’s way out of your body. Last procedure I started singing in recovery to myself along to the hum of the machines. Anything to distract helps me. I will be sending you good vibes on your special day.

I took the time before I received a surgery date to figure out which shakes I liked best. I also tried eating certain meals as if I was post op. For example, I made very loose farina for the second post op stage. I also chewed more thoroughly to get used to doing that instead of eating fast. Practicing sipping Water is important too because I read that we can get pain afterwards if we gulp. There’s really plenty to work. One last thing I did was to listen to Bariatric themed podcasts by Reeger Cortell. She is a nurse practitioner for a Bariatric program and she has these lengthy podcasts on subjects of interest to those seeking weight loss surgery. Before you know it your surgery date will be on the horizon!
