5 Days Out And Starting To Get The Jitters!



Recommended Posts

Hi everyone, I'm having my surgery on Feb 13th, i am 6 night and 5 days away from my surgery day! I am very excited, and i know i'm prepared. I'm not sure what i'm feeling. I don't know if its nerves, then again, i don't get very nervous often. I just feel like now it's a sitting game, waiting to day. I've been taking prolisec like my doctor told me to, and i'm starting a 5 day liquid pre-op just to do it. tomorrow i'm going to pick up everything on my shopping list, i ordered some Isopure and Protein powder too.... I just feel like, i don't know it's hard to explain. It's almost butterflies, it's like i'm so prepared that i don;t think i am prepared, but i don't know what else i can or should do.

Anyway, i was just wondering if there is anything i should know for the day of surgery or the process from everyone else's experiences. I know what to expect, but at the same time i don't.

I don't know if i made any sense in this, but hopefully some of you can relate to me.

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
