Are you looking for the BariatricPal Store? Go now!

Its All Starting to Feel so Real!



Recommended Posts

I as well am thinking as I sit here "OMG - are you crazy for doing this?" Worried is the understatement. Then I think about all the things I have missed out. I am looking forward to the day when I walk into a store and people don't look at you like you are lazy and stupid because you are obese. I am actually far from lazy and certainly am not stupid. We can do this! Good Luck

I've been feeling like this lately too! This weekend is my last pre-op weekend too and I spent the day cleaning the house & my car. And I've got all of my Vitamins, shakes, meds, etc here at home. I've literally turned this place into a little post-op fortress so I can stay home and recouperate in peace. And I can't believe no one has called to cancel or change the date yet. I'm expecting something to happen that will pull the plug on it all...But right now, it just seems surreal to have gotten this far and it's just a matter of days before I'm on the loser's bench :)

      It's been a bit of a struggle this last week...I'm hungry ALL the time.

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
