I no what u mean Melissayw816 I feel exactly the same way. I'm scheduled for the same day. I have been reading up on lots of blogs to try to help with my nervousness. I found the world according to egg face to be extremely helpful with great recipes and advice. I've been looking for a support buddy, seeing that our surgrey is on the same day I'd like to stay in contact and add u as a friend if that's ok with u.

Although I've been a non-smoker all my life, I can relate to the smokers' woes about quitting to qualify for their surgeries. My oldest son and my daughter have smoked since their teens and their father was a heavy smoker. I grew up around smokers too.

I can tell you that quitting doesn't come easy. I've heard some good things and a lot of bad things about Chantix, including the possibility of suicidal ideations/thoughts. Be careful and talk to your doctor if you develop any signs of that and remember that suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem and only hurts your family and friends (since if you succeed, you don't feel anything).

Now coming off my bandwagon (LOL), I've heard from many people that the urge to smoke is lessened if you get those artificial electronic cigarettes (but NO nicotine!!). Get the flavored ones and it goes a little smoother. My son is trying to quit and he has cut way back on cigarettes since starting on the electronic thing. They make all kinds of flavors and they're not nearly as expensive as a carton of cigarettes.

Hope this helps, and good luck!!

I just finished my EGD (with stomach biopsy), cleared by the psychologist, saw the dietitian today, and go for my patient education and physical therapy consult tomorrow. Hopefully my surgery will happen soon--shooting for October 2014 if possible.

Good luck JenW~79 , I'm feeling the same way. Finally did all pre op appointments and as I get closer to the 1st the reality is really setting in. How long is your hospital stay post op?

Mine is outpatient (as long as everything goes smoothly). I still have my pre op and nutrition appts tomorrow, and my egd is next Wednesday. Getting close!!!

I'm scheduled for October 6th. I went through the munching stage, where I ate everything. My favorite saying was "I cant eat this after my surgery, soooooo why not?" I have now slowed down and I am preparing for my surgery. I amd so excited I am counting the days. I have a great support system in my family, friends and co-workers. My friends are giving me a going away party (weight is going away) before my surgery. I am not sure what that includes, but I am pretty sure alcohol and food are the topics. You know going out with one big bang. I am ok with that....

      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.

      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!!
