Wow The Anxiety Just Got Real - Got My Date - July 2Nd!



Recommended Posts

I thought I was anxious before, just got off phone with the scheduling lady.

I've got to get clearance from Cardiologist and Pulmonologist - which I don't think will be a problem, my Primary did and EKG and my cholesterol / triglycerides are all perfect.

I do have some lung issues - but most of that is weight and sleep apnea related. I'm hoping there's no problem there as well.

My date is July 2nd, and my final pre-op appointment is on the 20th of June!

I'm going to be on all liquid diet till July 2nd to prepare myself for the surgery. By my Birthday I'm hoping to be under 500 - that's 150 pounds in 5 months.

Wish me luck!

Best Wishes to you and your journey, I don't think you should have a problem making your goal by your birthday. Take it easy on your liquid diet, that was the worst for me even the surgery wasn't as bad as liquid diet and I only had to do that for 3 days. Hope you give us updates after surgery. Good Luck to you!

Yeah, I saw that but - frankly... I'm practically dead already.. I'm not afraid of dieing from surgery - i'm afraid of being bed-ridden and taking my own life out of despair... If I don't change by 35 I might just give up.. and I'm not quite ready to give up because I have always had hope that someday things will change and someday was always some long lengthy distance now it's like 5 weeks lol .. which is scary because I could fail at this too.. but if I succeed, well.. I'll be the happiest I've ever been in my life.. all my depression/anxiety/ etc is weight related. Everything negative in my life is because of my weight. -- I'd rather die from the surgery any day than go on living like this. At least I would die knowing I've exhausted all my options.

      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!!

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

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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
