Pre-surgery Jitters



Recommended Posts

These posts were so helpful to me! I'm a week out and have been feeling as if I'm the only one going through these jitters. Thank you all for your posts! It's great to know I'm not the only one who has experienced doubts and fears.

You're not alone. My surgery is in 2 days (12/2) and I've been feeling the same way. I'm trying to remember I've felt like this with every surgery I've ever had from my c-section to my foot to my wisdom teeth, up until the moment I conked out on the table. Once I'm recovered I always look back and say, "see, you made it". I think our nerves prove that we understand that major surgery is a big deal, and yet we are still willing to do it to become happy, healthier versions of ourselves.

      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! 😞
