StabbyUnicorn7 reacted to BetterOffRed in Post-Op Update
I’m only a week out from surgery (surgery date 10/4/16) and already SO glad that I did this. We all have our “last straw” things that really helped us make the decision to change our health for the better. Mine was knee surgery in April of this year. Full tear of the ACL and bucket handle tear of the meniscus… surgery was tough and recovery/PT wasn’t easy either. Even with PT I was still having a hard time getting around (lots of muscle stiffness/limping). It made me realize that my knees can’t take my obesity anymore and I needed to do something about it. Well, the blood clot cuff squeezy thing they put on you during/after surgery did something to help relieve my muscle stiffness in my calf and the walking I had to do the day/night of surgery was the easiest walking I’ve done in MONTHS! I’m one week out, about 13 lbs down and walking around is so much easier already!! I can’t wait to get back to walking the track during my son’s Lacrosse practice and doing 5ks!

I'm also scheduled for Oct 18, and getting seriously nervous. With all the preparation, I know my decision is a good one, but still... I think it's normal to be a bit scared/apprehensive/nervous ahead of surgery though.
Pre-op is tomorrow.

Welcome! I am scheduled for October 18th near San Francisco. I started in January and am so ready. I've nearly talked myself out of it so many times but never cancelled. About two weeks ago I hit my biggest anxiety and doubts. I took myself back through my paperwork, onto the forum and watched some YouTube success blogs. I'm ready. My preop was Thursday and I have started a preop diet of no processed food. Walking soon and often will not only alleviate your clot risks but also post op gas pain. Congrats!

StabbyUnicorn7 reacted to highfunctioningfatman in Ummm, NSV?
I'm on call this weekend for the first time since surgery. I had to swap a piece of equipment. On a normal work day I'm wearing my uniform but on the weekends it is usually a work shirt and jeans or shorts. I stepped out of my van at a customers place my shorts fell off! O-f-f, off! Needless to say I scrambled to cover my butt and I was quite embarrASSed. The old lady got a show and apparently I got a NSV...

Expecting a surgery date in October. So far, I'm cutting down on diet soda and alcohol, and drinking less with meals. For me, emotional eating is an issue, so I'm working on that. Trying to recognize the head hunger, and find other ways to satisfy my needs. I'm also getting exercise back into my life, mostly walking and dance videos. 10-15 minutes at a crack so far. Things are starting to get real...
