Tomorrow is the BIG day, anyone else ?



Recommended Posts

Mine is at 11:30 too! I am looking forward to some anxiety medication. If they don't offer, I will ask. I just worry about being under anesthetic for 3.5 -4 hours. I have never been under that long.

I'm having a reaction similar to yours. Not taking anesthesia that well. I have pain and I cMt tell if it's hunger or gas or what.

Jealous and happy for those who were able to jump out of bed and walk. I wasn't one of those. I didn't walk on Tuesday at all. Wednesdayorning the physical therapist made me walk and I have done a few rounds since then.

Lots of "bubble gut" and diarrhea. Hurts to burp and cough but feel better after each small nap. I won't go home until Friday.

I don't know any of you except through these posts but I feel connected and hang on every word you send. ???? Please know that you are an inspiration to all of us waiting to go down the same path "willingly" I might add. I pray for you all and that the anxiety and pain will get better. Huggies and keep up the good fight. ❤️

The pain is def different for everyone. You really can't base your experience on mine or anyone else's because while suffering, a lady who had surgery the next day was walking faster than me in the halls and recovering much better. Just go in positive and know what you'll get better. This pain sucks for me but everyday is better. Baby steps.

Someone told me today I already look skinnier and that made me feel good. Just have faith and know that you're gonna make it out okay, even if it takes more time than others .

Good luck to all future surgeries !

It feels like I'm swapping symptoms. I have less pain, but now I can't get comfortable, I started going to the "bathroom" yesterday and have been 10 plus times since, not sure what the heck that is coming out, but I can't wait for it to stop... Are you experiencing that too? I feel weak most of time. I can't drink liquid Water and have crushed iced instead. Not sure when this is supposed to get better, but I really wish it would happen already. How are you ??

      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.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      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!!
