Me too! :wacko: I keep wondering if something will stop me from having my surgery now that it is here! AAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!!!! :o :o

1 day and 2 nights!!!!!!!!! I'm so nervous but mostly excited! Still waiting on that call from the hospital and for some reason I feel hungrier than ever?! I think it's just because I'm so antsy. I have reoccurring "what if's" in my head but I'm trying my best to focus on all the good that's about to come!

What are the thoughts going through everyone else's heads now that the 15th is around the corner??

hoping the worst doesn't happen, can't believe it is finally finally here, last night I was having those crazy hunger induced insane thoughts, I was thinking, WHAT IF I DON'T LIKE MY NEW SMALLER BODY, I'VE NEVER BEEN NORMAL SIZE, WHAT IF IT TURNED IT THAT I LIKED MY BIGGER BODY BETTER? but I know that's just stupid, I have to do this to keep from getting diabetes, my knees going out, so I can have energy, feel better, look better, and most importantly LIVE.

Yes, I'm def worried about that whole "leaving my kids without a mom" thing. But obviously I'm not THAT worried, or I wouldn't go through with it. I left my DH a list of "instructions", just in case. Like, remember to register for summer camps in January. Here is how you make pancakes. Find someone to help you shop for their clothes. Etc. etc. :)

On another note, have you guys ever noticed how delicious chicken broth is? It really is the FULL ESSENCE of chicken. :)

Surgery in 11 hours.

I agree. I'm the only present, acceptable parent they have. Good point, we must not be THAT nervous or we wouldn't do it. broth, I can't believe I'm saying This but this pre op diet has made me picky. I've never been picky so this is new to me. I don't care for any of the 5 different broths I bought, my Protein Powder is too too too sweet, I really only like my eas carb control and my Powerade zero in blue n strawberry and my sugar free popcicles ( I don't normally do sweet stuff and never cared for Jello. I can't believe im picky.

I have been the same way hungry, hungry! Me to the "what if's" are driving me nuts. I am also trying to focus on anything else I can do but it's hard.

I'm having those, I don't want to give up this food or that food, even though I have been pretty good at low carbing it for quite some time. I think I have more of a quantity problem instead of quality. But when I see food commercials or have food thoughts the last few days I can't help but swoon for whatever feeling I get that drives me to eat so much. Ive said it before my stomach has always been larger than normal even as a kid. So I can't wait to not need so much food to satisfy my appetite.

We are all having the some thoughts, my biggest fear is also leaving my kids with out a parent. And the other one is what if I don't like the way I look when I am skinny. I think I have noticed more food commercials in the last two days then ever. I can't even believe the day is almost here. I am leaving everything in gods hands, praying for everything to come out good.

      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! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.
