Big Day, Anxiety I can't drink to relax!



Recommended Posts

Hello my surgery is today, I can't sleep because Soooooo, nervous. I'm really scared. My husband doesn't makes it any better, with the negativity. He is scared too I know .I tried to clean my colon out so I don't crap on the table. Packed and ready to go. I don't know if it's anxiety, scared-ness , fear , or all of these above. Did anyone else felt or feels the same?

Yes, I was there as many of us were but when you wake up its a feeling of a new you about to happen! Your life will forever change and you have to look to long term! I'm 10 weeks post op...down 64lbs and 4 clothes sizes plus off my blood pressure, diabetic and asthma meds! I feel so much better and admire my new looks everyday in the mirror! You will do just fine and best of luck to you and your new journey! It's awesome! The only advice I can say is walk, walk, walk (especially first week) and take your vitamins!

Yes, I think I went into a zone and cleaned and put things away before surgery like jewelry that I couldn't find right after surgery. Unless I'm just older lol.

But yes, I completely understand. May you be blessed to have an easy surgery and speedy recovery.

You are good because you can describe what joy feel! I couldn't even describe my feelings on my surgery day 12/5/13. I felt like I was present but absent from my body watch this thing play out. I couldn't stop smiling. You will be find and he is just concerned. Every time he gets like that, hug him and tell him you love him. Speed recovery to you and invest in gas-x. Post when you can and good luck.

I was very nervous until I walked into the hospital. At that point, a sense of calm came over me. I knew without a doubt that I was doing the best thing for my health and I just put all of my trust into my surgical team. It will be over before you know it. Good luck today and congrats!

      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.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
