Surgery Dec 1st

I'm kind of scared!!!! I haven't been afraid, but I am now! I'm 44 and weight 240lbs! Time to fix me! I haven't done very well with my pre-op diet :( is that an indication of how I am going to do after surgery? I emotionally eat and going through some very messed up life issues. :( wish me luck!!

Oh, any tips on food journals? An online tracker??

      I found it is so much of a mind set. I did pretty well on my liquid pre op diet but I did cheat. Once I saw it wasn't going to kill me I handled it pretty well. I never did think I was starving. Now

      I'm having surgery the 1st as well and I am scared too. I have never had surgery before so I'm kind of freaking out. The Pre-op diet is hard but I'm down 16lbs from it.

      Mine's on December 8th and I've been on the pre-op diet for six days now. It's actually been easier than I expected (and I didn't ever think it'd be too difficult). I use My Fitness Pal, too.

    All the best on your surgeries. It will be a breeze. I understand the nerves and worries - but the surgery is over in no time and you be on your way to recovery and slimmer you.

    I am 5weeks post surgery and 14kg down.

    Good luck y'all

    My surgery was cancelled at the VERY last minute (I was ready to be wheeled to the OR) because I developed a cough/cold yesterday. I've been rescheduled for Dec. 28th.

    Oh noooo I'm sorry to hear that. I know it must have been disappointing. I hope you start feeling better and the 28th will be here before you know it.

    I had surgery on 12/1. Table time about two hours. I spent two nights post op and was released today. The pain is more gas pain than anything and I've been walking a ton. I've had no problems getting my fluids in but it's a painfully slow (sipping) process. I'm on Tylenol only for pain now and can sleep anywhere from two-three hours at a time.
