Cant Sleep! Nervous! Today Is Surgery Day.



Recommended Posts

I everyone I just had to come on and say today is the day I have surgery. I haven't been able to sleep all night. It's been one of those close your eyes and toss and turn kind of night. I'm very nervous/ anxious I just want the surgery part over with and to just start recovery!

Please send me you good vibes today! I'll report back later.

Thx,

I was really nervous too. I'd never had any kind of surgery, or even been put out by my dentist. You'll do fine, and you'll have taken an amazing step towards a better life for yourself. Good vibes on your way!

I had surgery on Aug 6th and is is like a blink of an eye and you are then being pampered by the nurses and dr. You will have a button for pain meds. there is not pain except when you get up your muscles in your stomach ache like someone beat you up in your stomach, not like you pulled a muscle and when you get up you will have help and they will have you walk a little. The worst part was dry mouth and my nurses kept me with these large qtips with lemon flavor on it and i would spread on my tougue, gums and side of mouth because you are not able to drink until your xray while drinking. Nausea is the only thing I was worried about and I got a tip from a nurse to ask for the patch for nausea. And if they ask you if you ever had motion sickness say yes and they will give you the patch. I kept me from being nausea.

Don't be nervous and if you are tired, that will help you rest even better. Oh there is a tv in your room and a phone most likely so you can call people so bring your cell phone with your phone numbers. You will sleep alot.

You will be fine.

You all are truly amazing. I'm very emotional today. I'm actually crying writing this. Surgery is at 12:30pm I'm in Toronto Canada and need to be there an hour before. Last night the time was flying by. I had to stop eating at 7pm then next thing I knew it was midnight and I could not drink anything. Now all of a sudden the time has stopped LOL.

Thank you for all your thoughts, good vibes, deep down I'm damn right excited to e starting my last day 1 (of a diet) I'm excited to finally start my first day 1 of my new life style!

Thanks for all the tips, and I will for sure let you all know when I'm home.

Thanks again and I can't wait to learn more from all of you!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
