I think they call the first week the week of regret.

Just had all my pre-op visits, showing 15 lbs. weight loss already (on the liver-shrinking diet) and am as nervous as hell...

But ready to rock it. Let's go sleevers!!!

It's the 6th. I'm trying to stay really, really busy to keep my mind off of it. I've never been in a hospital - and have rarely visited. So all of my anxiety is about something unknown to me.

What thing are you looking forward to after you lose the weight? One of mine is shopping and not having to be limited to just the XXL size and that size has a very limited number in stock. Searching the shelves for the biggest size or looking for just the longest belts is what I want to leave in the past. What about you guys? ;)

I have been pretty physical most of my life but still overweight. I use to run races yet my knees were not cooperating. I am hoping that getting this weight off will help my knees and I will be able to run again.

Oh yes running is what I am looking forward to also. I use to run a lot I'm my past and now I really miss it. It can boost your energy levels and after I like the satisfying feeling. I have been running/walking as of late and it has helped in my pre op weight loss. I plan on hiking the Superior Trail in northern Minnesota next summer and that will take about three weeks. I am trying to keep all these thoughts in my mind as I go through the next month. I would like to run a 5K with all you someday. You never know. :rolleyes:

I got my appt: 7:30 am, the first surgery of the day. My whole team was excited for me - they said the probably means I can get out of the hospital after a single night stay. Yay!

Looking forward to? Running on the soccer field with my boys. Long bicycle rides (my wife and I have planned on an 80-mile ride for our 25th anniversary, which will be about 1 yr. after surgery). Clothes at a normal store instead of Casual Male XL. Sitting at a booth without squishing against the table. Knees and ankles not hurting.

Lots of hopes here!!!

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
