My surgery is April 21 and I'm getting so nervous and scared!! This 5 day pre op can be somewhat annoying but gotta get it done!!

My doctor only has me doing a one day. I was prepared for a week but so glad it's not. Good luck, you got this! What time is your surgery Tuesday? I've got to be there at 6:30.

I am wishing all of you headed in to surgery the best of luck. Milk this thing. Love your nursers and aides. They are there to help you. It will all go much more happily if you connect with them, talk with them and get to know them the best you can. Tell them how much you appreciate them. They are the midwives of your rebirth. Be VERY grateful.

Time goes by slowly during your recovery. Not all will be pleasant, but it will pass, and the good stuff will show up day by day. The pain is only temporary and manageable. Write a love letter to yourself before you go, so you can read it when you come home.

Be brave and confident and cheerful. This is going to be great! I am already too small for my clothes. It hasn't been even 2 weeks yet. OMG!

I am right there with you Michelle! I have 7.5 hours until I have to be at the hospital. I am not nervous at all and don't feel like I will be, but...you never know! Good luck to you and all others who have surgery this week!

      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!!

      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...
