I have my date and so excited and scared! My biggest fear is that I will fail!! I know that seems so silly, but when you have tried everything...you start to doubt that you really can be healthier and thinner! I am committed to following dr.s orders per and post op, but again just so scared of failing? Is anyone else sruggling with this?

I am 5'2" and currently weigh 264 (BMi 48). I look forward to the day I can post per and post op photos!

I am the day before u and I have the same doubts. Scared that when I wake up from surgery I will think " what the hell did I just do to myself". But than I think thousands of people in our same shoes have done this so can we. Good luck

It's very normal, even for those of us who aren't getting negative feedback. I'm 2 days away from my surgery and I still have my moments of "do I really want to do this? I'm losing so well on my pre op diet. .." Ultimately, I remind myself that I've been here before, and I need the support of the restriction to keep me in check for the long run.

How r u doing????

I doing great, thanks! Just finishing up my full liquids phase and getting ready to move to soft foods this weekend.

Very little pain left - a small amount in my left shoulder and my incisions are still a bit tender. The weight is dropping slowly but surely, between .5 and 1.5 lbs per day. I'm getting at least 60 grams of Protein and 60 oz of Water a day at this point, though I think the Protein will get harder as I get into the denser protein.

Do u weigh every day? Have u been weak and shaky at all...my fear

I weigh every day, but if you would be inclined to worry about stalling I would recommend doing it no more than once a week, or even less often than that. I'm a geek and my husband and I are both into tracking stats and identifying trends. I'm also not upset when the numbers bounce a small amount or stall, as I know from past experiences.

I was a tiny bit shaky the first day or two because I was on Clear liquids, but once I switched to full liquids on day 4 I was no longer shaky.

I am still a little easily tired, but that is the result of having major surgery, and my body is still using a lot of energy to heal. I could have easily returned to work last Monday, though. I'm just going to bed a little earlier

Thanks for the replies! I am so excited and getting my house in order. I have been on the pre diet and have only lost a few pound, but very happy with that!

Is everyone ready? How much time are you taking off of work?

I am excited but very nauseated and have had a headache for days..i can't believe surgery already here on Weds. It's been a long 6 months of waiting! I am in Arizona, and have 4 weeks off work.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      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!!
