Surgery Is Tomorrow



Recommended Posts

Well...surgery is Tomorrow. I am getting more and more nervous. I know that I am doing the right thing, but I am worried about the kids being without me for 3 or so days. I know that their dad will be here with them, but I still worry. I have spent most of the day cooking meals so they all eat good while I am gone.

You'll do great Mel! I have 2 toddlers. I sent them to stay with a relative for a week so my husband could care for me and not get too stressed. I don't know young your kids are but if they are young you may need some more time when you get home. Maybe your husband could set up a day or 2 away so you can recoup with him. Regardless you will be great. Precooking meals is smart! Sending a prayer your way.

Thank you so much for the words of encouragement. I just hope I can sleep tonight. I think I am ready, but then I start to second guess myself. I know this is what is best for me, since I want to be around a long time for my kids and my honey!

Thanks so much. I know that my hubby has this all under control. Just nervous, as I have never been away from my kids this long.

Thanks for the support. My kids are 15, 12, and 10 so I should be good. They are all prepared for mom having to take it easy. If my kids were younger I would send them to my parents for the week. I think it is going to be nice to have them around while I recover. The good thing is they are going to be on winter break soon so they will be here to help.

      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!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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?
