I am up and down. If I really dwell on things, I get super nervous. I just can't wait until Tuesday is here. I have to be at the hospital at 5:45am and the surgery is at 7:30am.

Yes! Tuesday for me too! Excited is an understatement! Not really nervous although I pray all goes well for all of us. I get my time to report to the hospital on Monday!

I get my time to report to the hospital Monday too. I am already having weird dreams about work and surgery. Tomorrow will be my last day at work for two weeks and we are already behind so it is kind of stressful. I told my coworker bough that after Monday I CANNOT be thinking about work. I need to be thinking of my recovery. How long is everyone else taking off?

Just a week, but then I will work from home for two weeks.

My doc recommends 2-4 weeks off depending on what kind of job you have. I work from home, so I am taking 2 wks off. I had a laparoscopic hysterectomy last May and the hardest part for me was wearing regular pants because they rubbed my incisions wrong and then the actual driving into work everyday. This time, since I work from home, I won't have to worry about either one of those issues.

I'm a bit depressed. Haven't been on the scale for a week and I jumped on this morning to check how my pre-op diet was doing for me and I was 2 pounds up! Discouraging :(. I have been so good' date=' high Protein, low carb, plus my shakes, under 1000 cals a day, just as prescribed. Makes me wonder if I will be able to lose with surgery?!

On the other hand, it's hard to believe its almost here! Mine is early Tuesday morning. I keep thinking the hospital will call and say they have to delay, I need more clearances, etc.... I'm just being paranoid, I guess. Trying to keep up a positive face :). Good luck to everyone this week!

I am taking it easy for a week, then going in for two days for three or four hours just to make some calls and tie up loose ends. Then I'll go in part time for a few weeks. Trying to ease back into it.

I agree! I think I'm in denial that this time tomorrow it will be done! Running around today tying up all those loose ends. Laundry, shopping, etc. I'm sure I will not be able to sleep tonight, but I have to get up at 0330, so it doesn't matter lol

      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?

      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.
