Today is the day!



Recommended Posts

Today is the day and I'm trying to keep my cool. (I'm a nurse and over think things when it comes to surgery.) The whole clears and prep, etc wasn't so bad but the growing headache is wearing on me. I've tried to keep my feelings about the surgery low key. I've been afraid to get excited because at every corner I just knew some glitch would occur. Somehow I made it to this point and have mixed feelings. (I imagine it's quite normal.) I seem to wavering on excitement and guilt, nervousness, eagerness, fear. More of me though just wants to go and just get it done and past me so I can move on! The support I've gotten from other RNY patients, being friends and strangers has been a big comfort to me and very encouraging! So, about to get ready for the hospital...Please send prayers and positive vibes my way!

How are you doing, so far?

The best days are now ahead of you. We nurses are the worst patients, but take your pain med when you feel you need it.

Had my surgery the 16th, and am counting the days until I can have soft foods ie cottage cheese and scrambled eggs. I must say this week of shakes is killing me. Being retired, the fridge seems to chase me around the house.LOL

Each day gets better. Good luck on your journey to a new you!

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

      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?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
