You know that's totally and completely normal, right?

After all the hurry and scurry of the preop process, sometimes I think there is nowhere for all that energy to go when you get down closer and closer to your surgery date, except worrying about all the "what-if's". I've only been here since last Fall, and I can't tell you how many times I've seen similar posts to yours.

It's hard to imagine life post-op. It's hard (for a lot of us) to imagine actually being successful at weight loss after years (decades, for some of us) of success that didn't prove either complete or long-term.

But this is different. It's real. It's life-changing. And it's GOOD. You've got this!

Let me share something with you. I'm five weeks postop. I have not been hungry ONCE since my surgery. Yes, there are some things that work better than others, some things are tastier than others, but I haven't been hungry once. It's pretty amazing! I actually eat on a schedule, because if I didn't, I wouldn't eat.

So hang in there, it gets better!

When I first started semisolids, it was a bit hard to enjoy things because I had to struggle to get my calories in. More recently though, I've really been enjoying how satisfying a teeny amount of something can be. I found some soy-ginger fish filets about a week ago that are really tasty, and I was totally happy having just two ounces of fish. Tonight I made spaghetti & meatballs (thank you, TJ's, for the meatballs) for Huz, and I had two meatballs with Tomato sauce, again about two ounces. I had one to see how it would sit, then had another.

Such small amounts, so satisfying, and I met my Protein and calorie goals for the day, too!

I had a tough time at first - my sleeve is a Diva and only wanted Clear liquids for a while. I've been very careful about adding new things, and this week I tried two new things and they were both really tasty and they both worked!

I'd been a big coffee drinker, though I'd drunk Decaf for years. Funny thing, though, I haven't had a cup of coffee since my surgery, I don't want coffee yet. I really thought I'd miss my wine, but I haven't missed it!

Anybody comes near my cinnamon-herb tea, though, and they take their life in their hands ;-)

I think that's totally normal. Once you get the date it becomes way more real. I remember having second thoughts once I got my date. I just kept going back to a blog post where I wrote all the reasons I wanted the surgery along with my bucket list of things I hoped to do with my family after the surgery. That got me through. Thank goodness it did! I'm so glad I went through with it. Good luck!

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
