Surgery Tomorrow Morning.. VERY nervous



Recommended Posts

I am not particularly a stranger to the operating room and I don't recall ever feeling this nervous. Things are flying around in my head and just won't stop, if I could sum it up I have a lot of anxiety and found it very tough to get to sleep last night.. ended up online till 1 in the morning.

I have been cleaning the house all day off and on, we stocked up yesterday. I have the following list, in case it is useful to anyone else:

1. Prune juice

2. Cream Soups

3. broth

4. Protein shakes

5. Drinkable Yogurt

6. chewable Vitamins

7. Chewable Calcium + Vit D

8. Pill box so that I can put all my pills in the dosage my surgeon wants before I go in.

9. 2 new Pillows to give me extra support in bed so that I can sleep sitting up if I have to.

10. A body pillow.

11. Pure indulgence.. a mini lavender bean bag bunny to squeeze and snuggle.

12. Spring Water

Sooooo.. I guess tomorrow.. over to post op.

I was very nervous too, but you'll find that the surgery itself will go by quick. I was in and out in 3 hours.

Your list seems good, sums up my last 4 days. The day I came home on Wednesday, I had a very achy left shoulder and used a heat pad overnight worked great and the pain only lasted one day.

Good luck tomorrow.

      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!!

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

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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
