I've been fine this whole journey (psych eval,special test and etc) but when I dropped off my son at my parents he's 3 it finally hit me I'm having surgery today at 11am and I'm so nervous not nervous because of the recovery but nervous that it will take me a while before I can pick up my toddler and that is killing me even though he's pretty independant for a 3 Yr old he still likes me to carry him like a baby to his bed im just a ball of emotions right now

It sounds like jitters are hitting. I'm going to be the same way, I'm sure.

You'll be back with him in no time.

Let us know how it's going.

Good thoughts and all that, ok!

How has recovery been?

hey I'm doing pretty good thank god! My doctor said I could start off soft foods this weekend so I'm adjusting to that. So far so good I just have to get used to taking smaller bites and no big gulps because then I start balling with a tummy ache. Ty for asking how are you doing?

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
