Surgery date 28/10/13 new and scared



Recommended Posts

I'm just joining and due for sleeve surgery 28/10/13. First weigh in 122kgs I am having trouble with the pre op diet started 2 weeks ago I was doing well with shakes and salad or veggies and lost 5 kg, but on sat night I had a blow out I drank 1/2 can of coke and ate chocolate then after going out with my son I had a mcdonalds burger. I have been exited about surgery and now I am just scared. I have 13 days to go and worried I can't maintain the pre op diet the shakes are now making me feel sick, I have tried not to think too much but it is all I can think about.

Completely normal to feel scared, I did too but it's part of the process I think. I don't have to go on a pre-op diet until the day before and then it's liquid only. I'm scheduled for 10/23, completed all of my PATs today and now really looking forward to it. Getting through those really helped ease my nerves. Talk to your doc about your concerns, I guarantee it's nothing he/she hasn't heard before and it will help ease your mind too. Good luck :)

Thanks BerryChic. I'm just learning how to use this site. I've read so much with what the dr has given me I think I have overload. I had an appointment booked for Thursday with the dietitian and was looking forward to it but the office rang and said due to problems they have to make it a phone appointment. Oh well still looking forward to the surgery. Good luck with yours, a step into a new life.????

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
