Surgery tomorrow...ahh, the nerves!



Recommended Posts

Well, tomorrow at this time, I should be in the operating room. It's crazy to realize that this day is actually almost here!

I've had such an influx of emotions the past few days. My anxiety, worries and fears have really increased. I've worried about post op complications, losing too much weight and getting wrinkly and looking much older, not losing enough weight, losing too much hair, and about a million other worries. I don't know why I'm doing this to myself! Trying to keep my mind busy today and get all ready for tomorrow. Best of luck to everyone, and if you think of it, please say a prayer for me (and my nerves!!) Thanks!

That was me 2 weeks ago!!! I ended up kinda going into auto mode and not think about it. Did my normal routines as best as I could and extra housework to keep busy. The day of, I was totally fine.

I had the same worries but I decided that being healthy, active, being able to reach my feet, not having pressure incontinence and living longer were worth losing my hair, being wrinkly and having extra skin!

Hair grows back, everyone gets wrinkly and there's always plastic surgery.

I am having my surgery Friday and my nerves are starting to kick in. I don't really care about the skin cause I am planning on getting that fixed along with a new pair of knockers. I am a DDD and the first place I loose weight is in my chest. I just don't want tube socks for boobs. But that being said I am so excited to get healthy and to get this fat off of me! I rather look like I am melting than be the butterball I am now! :) Good Luck to you!!

My surgery is Friday and I have pushed all of that negative talk out of my head by focusing on a couple of things:

1. If I don't do this, I imagine myself in ten years; bigger, sadder and in much worse shape with tem wasted years where I could have been active and enjoying my life.

2. I window shop on clothing websites that sell clothes WITHOUT plus sizes!!!!!!!!! Soon, I will be wearing clothes that can be purchased in REGULAR stores!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

and so will you!!!!!!!!!!!!! This surgery has the least complications both short and long term. You are going to ROCK this. Besides, most people get baggy as they get older ;) Who cares!!!! Be well and good luck! I'm right behind you :)

      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.
