Less Than 24 Hours Till Surgery

Woke up this morning with instant anxiety when I realized this was my last day before surgery. I wish I could say it was my last day of freedom because I'm starving! But then I thought to my self, no... Tomorrow is my first day of freedom from being obese.

It's amazing, just the little bit of weight I've lost on the preop diet how much better I feel. I'm not sure how much I've lost because I don't have a scale at home but I'm sure it's at least 10 pounds.

I have a question for everyone that has had surgery already...my surgeon said not to be surprised if I wake from surgery in intensive care, that they do that sometimes just to have someone keeping an eye on you at all times. Did anyone else have that experience?

  • Good Luck and I'll pray for you. My surgery is May 1st. I'm in the last minute " panic mode" as well. I thought about having just one french fry tonight and then thought, " it's just not worth it"

No French fries like you said it's not worth it.
