Surgery Is Aug 2Nd And Im Having The Empthy Nest Thing.



Recommended Posts

Getting so excited as the time gets closer. I often find my self looking for some thing else I can do to get prepaired. Today I think I will go through my closet and dig out some of my smaller clothes (at this size a 16 is smaller clothes) lol. I think when I can start to fit in some of those clothes in the back of my closet, then ill be doing good. Can't wait to see some results.

Yeah, I've started doing some nesting myself. Got rid of all my biggest clothes that I'll never wear again. Kept just a few to get me through the first week or so. It makes it feel more real. I thought the time would drag on but it's actually going by quickly!

My surgery is 8/1, I plan on going through my closet today as well. I have all sizes and think I will pull out the smaller sizes and keep then sorted by sizes in a box or something.

Good luck, you'll be surprised how fast you will fit into those size 16's. I went from size 20/22 to size 8 in six months.

I'm August 2nd too....it feels like all of a sudden, it's coming real quick!...probably because I'm on the pre-op. I feel the exact same way...am I prepared? Have I done enough?..do I really know what to expect when I get home? About a mo th ago I did a huge purge of my entire home, clothes, etc. I'd been holding on so long to the smaller sizes (9-16)..haven't been a 16 for 7 years so those real small sizes are old! Ha-ha! I felt it was really purging to even get rid of the old small clothes...they were also a reminder of my past failures. I felt like this time, this is it! And I'm buying all new clothes and Celebrate each smaller size (or raid my sister's closet) I did keep 2 super small tops...when I fit into those again It will be a good day! :)

Good luck and keep me posted how things are going...message or friend me...I'd like to stay in touch!

      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! 😞
