Tomorrow is my day!



Recommended Posts

I am scheduled to be sleeved tomorrow at 10:00 a.m. I haven't been the least bit nervous until today. Now I am just a bundle of nerves. My head hurts, my shoulders are cramped and I am scared. I know I won't back out. I have come too far and want this too bad. I am just nervous.

I so know what you are going through. I fly out tomorrow night and my surgery is on Wednesday at 7:30 a.m.

I'm just trying to focus on all the good things coming for me!

You'll be ok, it's a normal reaction. . . this surgery was my 18th major surgery and with each and every one of them i was so nervous and scared. . . but as you can see, i'm still here and doing very, very, well! Your going to do really well too. . . it's not a bad surgery at all. . . you are going to be up and about the next day or like me the same day of surgery once i woke up. . . I really needed to get out of bed when i woke up. . . after all my legs didn't hurt did they now. . . so i walked out into the hallway and 1/2 way down and went back to bed, the next day thou, i walk 8 lengths of the hallway and by the evening was walking 12 lengths . . . felt really good. . . by the 3 day i was so ready to go home, and on the 5th day had no pains at all. . . you'll do great! just sip your fluids, do your walking, and think positive, be happy, you are starting a great journey now that can take you to much better things in life. . . good luck and i'll be thinking of you tomorrow! keep us posted! Mini-Me, this post goes for you too! You'll go great too. . . just walk and sip ok? Cheers

We'll all be pulling for you tomorrow, and keeping you in our thoughts. I think nerves are perfectly normal at this point, and you just have to go in with a positive mentality.

You'll do great, and we're saving you a seat on the loser's bench.

Loosing -

Your reaction is perfectly normal. I had the same reaction with knee surgery last month. Started to doubt if my knee "really hurt that bad". Take a deep breathe (or a couple). Everything will be fine. *hugs*. :biggrin0:

Loosing, you have lots of support and this week, there are a bunch of us getting sleeve and I'm sure we're all feeling the same way. Hang in there, you'll be back home in no time......

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
