Nervous Belly 2 Weeks Before Surgery



Recommended Posts

I am two weeks away from my surgery date and have a sour stomach and diarrhea. Is this just happening because I'm nervous or could something be wrong? Has anyone else had tummy issues leading up to the surgery?

I am right there with you. My surgery date is July 23 and I am a bundle of nerves. My stomach has been upset for a week and I just started the pre-op diet so it is a bit worse today.

I talked to a nurse today and she said that it was normal to be nervous and to call if I get so anxious I can't function in my daily life.

Hang in there--these two weeks will fly by and we will begin to see the benefits soon.

Thanks Texarkolina,

I was worried it was just me and that something was wrong. I am a bunch of nerves and starting my liquid diet tomorrow, I'm sure will only make it worst. I am sure the time will fly by and cant wait for the benefits.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
