I just had my surgery Monday at 7am. YES, I was starving on the pre-op LOL But I got through it and so will you. Before surgery I was having lots of anxiety and kept thinking "do really need to to this?" "Am I really doing this" Up to the moment they put in my IV I was thinking I should bolt. Luckily I learned from all the wonderful people on this board that every one has some type of these feelings and thoughts. I can through great. I had a substancial hiatal hernia my surgeon repaired so there may have been a little more pain. But everyon at the hospital, md, nurses. kept saying tomorrow will be much better. AND IT WAS. I think I got into a state of disbelief, did I really do this? (BTW another common experience I learned on this board) But it is quite amanzing how in just 24 to 48 hours you are yourself. I don't feel like much has happend except for the little incision pain and .. sorry... gas! :-) Well, and only being able to drink a few ounces at a time.

Best of luck. I'm sure you'll do great. I 'll tell you what a great nurse told me at the hospital when I was having a little trouble getting some fluids in "if others can do it, you can do it too, you will do it" That really helped. It got through the wooziness of the meds!

PS: say bye bye to the hunger! :-) Post op I just feel fine!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
