Pre surgery jitters



Recommended Posts

She was upset and afraid when she thought I was having gastric bypass but was relieved when I told her I was doing the lap band. She seemed supportive after that but recently she has pulled away a great deal. I've asked her if she wanted to work out together when our kids are in school and she said no she would rather do it first thing in the am. However she and another girl in our neighborhood have been working out together when the kids are at school.

I know how that must make u feel, I told my best friend when I get this done I hope she doesn't change towards me.. She said she wouldn't but u never know.. I don't think she realizes what I'm going to do or she know but until it happens I'm still me. Hopefully she won't change cause I'm still going to be the same.

You'll be fine, I went through all sorts of emotions before surgery, now I am so glad I did it. It is hard when those closest to you don't support you, I had problems with my daughters but my guy friend was super supportive so his support made up for the lack of support I got from family.

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

      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? 🤷‍♀️
