Sitting in waiting room, slightly freaking out



Recommended Posts

Try not to be scared people. It is but a small moment in time with a little bit of interim discomfort, which will lead you to a better, happier and longer life. Besides, you get lots of legal, free drugs to keep you all warm and comfy! Free drugs! Yay! it'll be like going back to your student days!

Hang in there, folks, you'll be fabulous and it will be fabulous. Let us know how you get on - we'll be thinking of you :) x

DreamBig,

I was in your spot 2 days ago. Anxious, nervous, and excited all wrapped together. My surgery was to start at 10:15, then I got pushed back due to a trauma emergency. It made my day even longer. Hang in there, don't be afraid to take pain meds and try to walk. Prayers for everyone who are making these decisions everyday.

Hang in there - these nerves are normal. I also waited by myself (3 hours), and wanted to leave a time or two, but didn't and it was the best decision EVER. It will be over before you know it and all will be well. :)

      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?

      April Surgery
      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.
