Getting Ready For Surgery On June 11Th!



Recommended Posts

Mowed the yard and cleaned my house this morning. Also brushed the dogs up too, trying to get everything ready for my surgery on June 11th. I have to be at the hospital at 5:15am on Monday June 11th. Getting things ready to pack to take with me also. Nervous and excited both. Calm though. My Mom is coming over tommorrow to take me to the hospital on Monday morning and then take care of my dogs at my house and stay with me after I am released hopefully on Wed. evening. I plan on taking my cell phone and lap top to the hospital with me so I will try to post as soon as I am able to. I was told I would be up and walking 4 hours after surgery so around 1pm on Monday I can't believe the day is finally arriving! I started this process in Feb and it has went fast. I have lost 46 pounds so far pre op and wanted to hit a goal of 50 lost by surgery day, 4 more to go. I hope I can still hit that goal.

So happy I found this supportive group!

      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.

      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!!
