June 4th here. Start preop tomorrow. It really just hot me tonight and now I'm in anxiety scared mode. I know this is normal for some people but I don't like it. I'm doing the "what if's". Is anybody else feeling this way?

I'm also scheduled for June 4th.. I was excited at first but the what ifs already started with me too! I know I'm doing the right thing for my health. I keep changing the what ifs from negative to positive ones. Try to stay positive! We will do great! Good luck to you!

Thank you. I'm trying to stay positive. I know it's what's right for me. I've just gotta stay focused and remember how excited I was when I received my surgery date. I can't let the fear get the best of me. Thank you for replying, it's always calming to talk about it. Good luck to you :)

      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! 😞
