My surgery is on the 19th too! I've been freaking out all weekend. I'm starting my 24 hour liquid fast' date=' and I'm starving. I guess this is when the mental strength needs to kick in, because I really have no idea when I'm going to have any nourishment in my stomach again. And I'm suddenly scared of everything. I keep imagining how scared I'll be when they give me the anesthesia, and I'm so scared of pain and nausea when I wake up. I think I need that sedative NOW![/quote']

I was banded on the 14th and had a 7 day liquid diet. I went through the same anxiety and fears. I came very close to completely calling it all off. I think my emotional roller coaster was worse the week before than it has been after. Luckily my husband was there and helped talk me off the ledge. Just remember you deserve to be healthy and if you could do it on your own you would have done it already. You are worth it!!!! Good luck and you have all of us here for support. :)

Omg! That is exactly how i feel. I kinda got over the anesthesia part after my endoscopy. But, its the feeling of nausea or vommiting that im worried about. I cheated everyday on my liquid diet and my surgery is tmrw at 2p. I know so many people from work that had this done recently and they all had different experiences. Ughhhh!!!!

For the nausea, ask the nurse to give you several alcohol swabs. For immediate relief open swab and put and keep under nose for a few minutes. Every time I received my morphine dose I had horrible nausea my nurse offered this to me. She was my godsend.

      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

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
