I am scheduled for surgery today. I leave for the hospital in about an hour. The nothing to drink after midnight really sucks. I could REALLY go for some ice cold Water...

I'm also super nervous about it... I feel like I'm prepared for post-op lifestyle, it's the risk of complications and short term pain that I'm concerned about at this point. I know that I have a lot of things in my favor (age, low BMI, no other health issues, experienced surgeon), but I also have two small kids at home that need their mommy.

Many of us have those same fears. I was so terrified that I even made videos, set up an email account that I sent emails to, and planned much of my own services- just in case. I have a son that I love dearly, and wanted to leave behind memories of me, advice for the future etc. They did have a hard time waking me up, and the next 48 hours really stunk.. but after that, I have done great. So even in the times it seems tough, remember that we have all been there and we have made it. We understand your worries. Praying for you today :)

I'm in my room. Really sore, from the gas I think, but otherwise doing okay.

Excellent news! Walking helps A LOT! I remember getting up almost every 2 hours during my hospital stay and walking.

Can't wait to read about your journey!

For me the gas pain was much worse than the pain from surgery. Here's hoping you have a speedy recovery!!!

The gas pains in my diaphragm are no joke, but otherwise I feel okay. Finally sipping Water, which tastes amazing. :)

      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.
