Recommended Posts

Hi there I am a new, however I believe my date will be in September as I've already started this journey with my doctors

I am looking for someone to go through this journey with as I am so apprehensive, excited and scared all at the same time

Like you I also feel obsessed with the topic I am constantly on my ipad

I have a ready gone to a seminar a support group and several doctors have already given clearance I just need a date now

I live in Long Island NewYork but my mom lives in delray beach. Is that anywhere near u?

My family doesn't support my decision and I could really use a buddy to go through this with!!

I plan one week off and 2nd week working from home. It's a "behind computer" and on conference calls job so I should be fine.

I'm either overly-optimistic, or totally unrealistic - I'm having my surgery on Friday, 9/18 and I plan to back at my "desk" on Tuesday, 9/22. My BFF had the surgery early December and that was what she did. I have the luxury of being able to work from home, hence my aggressive "back-to-work" timeline.

I had an ovary removed four years ago and I took a week off, and then worked from home two additional weeks.

I would love to hear from anyone who thinks I'm delirious in my timeline.

I'm scheduled for September 21. Just started the process. I must say that I am a bit scared. Not of the surgery but of failing. This is the last resort and the surgery isn't reversible. I am sure that I will get past this, but......

To all of you who just joined this thread welcome!

Pastano it does take a bit to get used to the navigation, if someone responds to a comment they will usually "Quote" it, so you will see the original comment and then their reply below it, I hope that helps you.

steph99, plevine0359,& lorralei Welcome! We also have a fb group if you want to be included either post or send me your email. Although we have both going at the same time we all still post in here as well. I highly recommend taking the time to go back thru this thread (all 40+ pages) and reading what is already posted, it will give you a good idea of where we are all at.

I understand your hesitation. I really recommend watching a lot of youtube videos and reading thru this forum. It really helped me a lot to see and hear what others have experienced.

As a member of this thread and our new FB secret group we share great stuff here but we've become truly friends with each other on the FB page. Even with support from our families, nothing compares to the support of others going thru almost identical preparation and near the same timeline. It's great!

      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!!
