Surgery tomorrow morning!



Recommended Posts

Nerves are here with a heavy hand. Feeling excited and sure that I am making the right decision but of course have lots if worries. The what if something goes wrong during surgery? What if I don't lose weight?

I've taken today off work. I couldn't sleep last night and am just trying to take care of myself today. Any suggestions from those who had the day before jitters?

I'm nervous that even with surgery, I won't look much better. My day of surgery weight is about 435, I started the process at 476 in January. I'm 6'. Almost 30 yrs old. Anyone in a similar bracket?

Thanks everyone!

I started at 378 and 5'9" and when i finally hit my pre op diet i was 356. I am now 5 months post and weigh in at 263. It works! Must have to do what ur supposed to do and stay on task. Its ok to feel nervous and worried. Its surgery! I didnt really get nervous or worried. When they wheeled me down the hall i got a little fluttery but i think it was more from excitement about changing my life. Just keep ur head up and all will be great. I wish u the best of luck and hope to hear from u after surgery. Btw, welcome to the club!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
