Yes I had a hernia repaired so that explains a lot!the pain isn’t that bad it’s just occasionally sore if i stand too long or do too much. i can breath find and have no coughing but my anxiety just always had me thinking about the worse thing! Thank you guys so much for taking them time to help me feel more at ease and answer some of my questions!

So i’ve posted a few times, if you can’t already tell I suffer from anxiety so I tend to worry about the small things. Been feeling some soreness and pressure around my lung area. Is this normal? I’ve been walking everyday and doing very light weights but for some reason I always think “oh no something is wrong” as soon as i feel tightness, soreness, or discomfort. I have my post op appointment monday so thankfully that will help me a lot with my anxiety and paranoia. I guess ive waited for this for so long I keep thinking its going to all f**k up. How do you guys deal with your anxiety?

So i’m a week post-op and today i weighed myself and gained four pounds. I’ve been sticking to my liquids and required protein but have noticed bloating so could this be the cause? I’ve also been working out with some very VERY light moderate weight lifting. Was wondering if this is normal, either way i took the batteries out of my scale because i don’t want to get obsessed with my numbers or discouraged. On another note i’ve noticed my emotions have been all over the place since surgery. Sometimes I’ll get angry and today i’ve just been crying for no reason. Is this common after surgery? Or could it be the fact that I was very emotionally dependent on food so now I’m forced to let it out one way or another. Would a counselor or therapist be good to cope with Post surgery emotions?

although your diet is fairly healthy maybe it’s the fat intake, even if it’s good fat with as little as we eat and if you aren’t exercising it’s probably storing it. My nutritionist told me to go over anything like cheese and nuts so she can see if and make sure it wouldn’t stall my weight loss! hope that maybe helps

Thanks guys! I finished my surgery and am home now. Once i got there and they spoke to me one by one and assured i’d be okay my nerves subsided. I was ready to get up and walk in about an hour and a half and actually walked around pretty frequently. worse part was gas pain but the more i walked the faster it went away. Now i’m doing g good just focusing and drinking my fluids!

My sleeve is scheduled for this thursday and I 100% percent am certain I want to do it but my anxiety is awful. I’ve never had surgery before and i just keeping running the worst case scenarios through my head. Can anyone tell me what helped them calm their nerves and re-assure them. I don’t want to go in with such a negative mindset.
