I still have a little over a week to go but am pretty calm. If you are like me you did a

lot of research and have given it a lot of thought and are confident in your decision so I

hope I am like you and am not to nervous.

I was calm until I was on the way to the hospital. I wanted a sedative in the car.

I was sleeved on Nov 12 and I was so calm. I wasn't the slightest bit nervous/scared/anxious. I got one little butterfly of excitement when the surgery team walked into my room to roll me to surgery. My mom and MIL were balls of nerves. I gave everyone a hug and kiss before we left for the OR (mom, MIL, husband, uncle, cousin and niece). They all left the room so the team could navigate the stretcher out to the hall and when we got out of the room, my mom was crying a little. She paid for my surgery and I leaned up to hug and kiss her again and told her thank you for my new life. She really started to cry then and I teared up a little. I was laughing and joking all the way to the OR. That is the last thing I remember!!!

I'm tomorrow morning as well..7:30 AM. I was nervous earlier today until I had to take the kids to my in laws to watch for the next few days. Since I have to be at the hospital at 5:30 am, figured it was better to just have them stay there starting tonight so they don't have to get up so early. Now, I'm just sad and missing them. Once I wake up in the morning I'm sure all the anxiety will start hitting again. Good luck tomorrow! We're going to do great!

      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! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.
