my last day of being PRE-OP!



Recommended Posts

So I am in Eagle Pass,TX at the moment. The driver will be picking me up at 8:15am tomorrow to take me over the border to have my VSG with Dr.Alvarez. My friend is also on her way down here, we will be the only 2 having surgery tomorrow which is kinda cool since it can just be us.

I'm nervous, but I know I am in good hands. I know I will worry like most people do about if they are eating too much, too less, and worried about messing up their sleeve. Then I am nervous because being "fat" is all I have ever known. I know my this time next year,I will look soo much different, even in 6 months i will look different. I know I will not be getting sleep tonight because all these thoughts are running through my mind..B)

The drive down here was HELL. I drove 14 hours yesturday becaus I just wanted to get here so I could relax today (which trust me I am being a lazy butt today!)....here is the downside...I have to drive all the way back to california starting Sunday because I have school on Thursday...can you say im a crazy woman yet? lol. i will be running around like a chicken with no head.

Bottom line..im nervous..excited...and have other feelings i cant explain. any tips? advice? or words of wisdom would be nice. hell maybe some reassurance. (my spellings sucks sorry lol)

THANKS!!!

Good luck my friend! By now you are on your way...

Can't wait to hear from you after surgery.

It will be fine.

I think you should be prepared to stop very often to get out and walk around a bit during that long drive home. You might even want to get some of the compression socks to wear while driving..you don't want to risk a blood clot.

*hugs*

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!
