Surgery 12/4 and I need a Buddy



Recommended Posts

I'm excited, anxious, scared, nervous, happy, sad..... well you name it, I have been feeling it. My surgery date is 12/4 and I'm looking for a friend that might be having surgery around the same time. I don't want to go thru this alone. I'd like someone to share my feelings with and help them cope as well.

You can start dieting anytime! The more you get off before surgery, the better off you'll be. Good luck and good health to you!

This is my date as well! I'm having mixed emotions too. Mostly nervous, and every time I think about it I get butterflies in my stomach. D'oh lol

My date is also Dec 4!!

I'm excited and nervous. I'm terrified about the pre op diet and have been eating more lately (and gained a few lbs) in anticipation of it. Has anyone else experienced this?

I gained before attending orientation... But since orientation I lost 14 lbs in two weeks... But now I'm stuck... I have to lose 10 to get my surgery scheduled and then 5 more before surgery and I'm stuck!!!! My dr won't let me do a 2 week liquid diet yet... They want me eating real food. . Ugghhhhhhh 10 lbs should be easy but I'm not doing so good :-(!

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
