Starting to freak out...



Recommended Posts

I'm still in the pre op stages just finished all my blood tests and evaluations, and now waiting to set a surgery date. But I am starting to freak out! Am I doing the right thing?

Should I just try and eat healthy and exercise one more time? I'm scared of the recovery pain.

I'm from Canada and flying to Vegas to have my surgery and I don't know if 4 days to recover after is enough...

Has anyone else flown so soon after??

Yes I did, and my only wish was I had not done the extra day, I just wanted to get home in my own bed.

Had lapband 7 years ago recovery was a breeze. Having sleeve on 26th and I expect a little more discomfort but bearable. I know of one girl who did Zumba a week after the sleeve..that's promising right? It'll be fine.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
