Pre-op yesterday- 4 days and counting.



Recommended Posts

I have surgery in 4 days!!!! It is becoming so real to me now. I was scared before, but yesterday did ease my mind quite a bit.

HW:404.8

CW: 369.1

35.7 lbs down so far!

This weekend I plan on spending time with friends (who are more supportive than my family apparently), cleaning my house in preparation for surgery as I want to be as comfortable as I can be, and packing my hospital bag. I cannot wait!!! :D :D :D

Does anyone have any recommendations of must-haves for the hospital? I will be bringing CPAP, comfy clothes, heating pad, brushes and toothbrushes, toiletries... anything else?

@@TAJ718 I definitely was! I had my surgery on 10/31.. Was so nervous and then after was in a lot of pain. But now i feel great. Still trying to get Protein in which is a struggle.

@@birdie bird Thank you! it is tough though. it still is. I go for my 3 week post op in one week and I still have trouble with the liquid. It definitely isn't easy. I hope you figured it out though! have you had your surgery yet? If not, good luck!!

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
