Surgery in less than ten hours and I can't sleep!



Recommended Posts

Hi everyone!

My surgery is at 10:15 AM in New Jersey tomorrow morning. I am beyond excited but I'm also pretty nervous and scared. Are there any words of confidence that you all want to share? It would be very greatly appreciated. ☺️

Its not as scary as it seems. Once you get to the hospital things move along at a steady pace so you don't have time to be scared. You'll do great! :)

Best wishes for the surgery and speedy recovery. Just look towards the longer picture and remember to take each day as it comes.

I am sure you will be fine, its natural to have nerves, we all do!!

Will be thinking about you @@The Candidate and send good positive vibes to you.

60oz of fluids a day, mainly Water but have added some syntax nector to get some Protein in too. I am very lucky getting the fluids in but it does hurt after a while so I have had to learn to pace myself. Sip Sip Sip .... lol

Hugs for tomrorow. xxxx

      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.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
