34 hours to go and i'm an emotional train wreck!



Recommended Posts

So I'm spending today and tomorrow trying to get every thing in order for the next week or two. Bills paid, valentines bought for my son, son signed up for spring soccer, house decent, laundry done, etc. my son is spending the night with his BFF, I'm laying down trying to chill out for the night, and started bawling my eyes out.

I know it's the lack of food and the pre-op jitters but OMG this sucks! Come on Monday!!!!!!

It is almost here! I so wish I was in your position, instead of having 2 months to wait yet. Best of luck to you, and I will be watching for post surgery posts. I am so grateful for this site. I am learning a lot!

Your nerves are very normal and you will do awesome. I'm almost 2 mos post op and down 52 lbs. you will have days of regret after surgery but I promise every day is a better day than before. A week out you will feel so much better. Keep yourself hydrated and walk to get the gas pains to go. Good luck! :)

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
