Getting really nervous...

One week from today will be my big day. I'm very excited to start a new healthy lifestyle. Today I just started feeling a little panicked, like what if I have major complications l, what if I die, what if I am just miserable. I know that I need to do this but my silly mind is getting the best of me today. My husband is not helping things by having the same thoughts. He told me last night that he wishes I would cancel it. Any words of reassurance would be appreciated.

My surgery is next Wednesday and I can totally relate to how your feeling. I'm nervous but at the same time I'm just ready! It's been a long 6 months in the making and the two week liquid diet I'm on right now is pretty much killing me. I'm just so ready for surgery already!

Best of luck to you! I'm sure it will all go smoothly! We are all here for you! So don't ever feel like your alone!

@@larac05 What you're feeling is TOTALLY normal! I had all of those same fears and worries and here I am, almost three weeks out, with one of the hardest parts behind me! I'm alive, I am complication free and I'm getting happier (and smaller!) with every day!

I won't lie to you and tell you that it has been easy, because I have been in a lot of pain and discomfort since the day I got out of the hospital, but this is my journey and not anyone else's! You just have to go into this with the mindset that no matter what happens, no matter how bad it hurts - IT WILL BE WORTH IT.

For me, the reward far outweighed the risks. I was slowly dying and I took this opportunity and saved my life! You will not be sorry :)

Keep your head up, look forward to the future and you'll be just fine! YOU GOT THIS!

I was exactly where you are; nervous, scared, second-guessing myself. But I agree with @ - it will be worth it in the end, and you just have to remember all the reasons you chose this in the beginning. I'm sure they still apply, and I'm sure they are still very good reasons. You'll go through this, and you'll do great, and then we'll all be here to support you and check up on you afterwards. :) Feel free to message me anytime if you want to talk.

      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.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

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

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...
