I'm also the 28th. Nervous, anxious and excited. Have been so diligent on my pre-op diet. Not sleeping well but figure I can sleep while in hospital. Less than 1week and we will be on the other side :)

Me too! I'm super excited and super nervous. I keep thinking 7 days is a long time but it really isn't. Just seemed that way when I started my pre op diet lol! I think I go in at 8 or 9

OK it is getting better each day, thank goodness. I was having a little of buyers remorse. The pumpkin belly (from the gas) and added weight was a surprise, but after 6 days I am getting closer to normal. Two weeks of liquids seems like a long time. It's not hunger (gads, I can't get in the Protein and Fluid required), its mourning the loss of food. I knew to expect it, but thought I would be more resiliant. This will be a process I can already tell. I have an appointment with my bariatric therapist in a few weeks; she's seen patients like me for years and approaches wellness through a behaviorial change.

My husband, while he is usually a dear, has totally missed the mark at how to offer comfort or support. At day 4 he's telling me to get on with it already. No sweet words, no softness. More like cracking the whip and telling me to buck up and walk. Geez, I'm having to give him lessons in how to be empathetic.

I have to be at the hospital at 630 in the morning. Starting to freak out a little!

Just remember that it is much better after a week and after you get out of the hospital. Seeing the scale move will make it worthwhile.

      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!!
