Surgery Monday 1-14



Recommended Posts

It's a beautiful Sunday and I am drinking a lot of Water and Vitamin water!! Getting prepared mentally, physically for a new chapter in my life! I'm scheduled for Surgery @ 10:15 am tomorrow.

Every time I think about it I get really nervous because I don't really know what to expect...how much weight I'm going to loose? will I be sick afterwards? Will I keep it off? How I will look & feel after weight loss?

I'm 5'3" tall 285 lbs! Ready to feel & look better.

Thanks for the encouraging words! I really appreciate them, the only person I've told is my mom and although she's been wonderful, it's nice to correspond with others who have or a going through similar changes.

The anxiety is perfectly normal, we all went through it right before surgery. There is no true way to know how much pain you will have post op because everyone is different, remember that if you have pain and take pain meds you will most likely have nausea because the pain meds cause nausea so make sure your dr gives you an anti nausea med. Good luck

      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! 😞
