So nervous but so excited



Recommended Posts

Surgery is June 28th, I'm so scared but so darn excited. I've been heavy for 24 years, I'm just exited to loose this damn weight and excited to eat healthy. One year ago on June 16th, I had a massive heart attack at 43 years old, my lad was 100 % blocked and my RCA was 99% blocked. I have 3 Stents all together. So the only reason I'm scared is my heart. I did have permanent heart damage to my left side. But I have turned my diet around as far as eating more lean meats and vegetables and fruits, I just sometimes cheat with the sweets, I'm excerising 5 days a week I lost 30 pound but it's been a year now and I haven't lost anymore so I decided to get help with surgery. I'm so excited to get started on this new journey.

@@Shaunie I'm the 5th as well. Thankfully, I gave up my coffee last month, so the Migraine will only be on this pre-surgery diet. Managed to make it through today without one, but I feel it trying to creep in! 1 day down, 13 to go :wacko:

It's the worst!!! I hope it gets better. My poor children are going to pay for this ;-) I didn't even think to cut it out prior. The cutting back on everything was plenty to handle lol. Good Luck! Where are you from?

@@Shaunie I start the liquid two week shake diet tomorrow. I'm so nervous. I use to get really bad Migraines before my hysterectomy, now maybe one every few months. I'm scared this liquid diet will give them to me full force. I am a coffee and Diet Coke drinker. I hope you get better.

I started it yesterday. Yesterday was bad!! Today a little better, but I do have to confess I'm thinking about doing a 1/2 caff coffee just to get the headache to pass. Not sure what to do...

I would probably call your doctor or nurse to find out what you can have to curb the Migraine. To be safe. Migraines are awful.

Do you have any Migraine meds you are allowed to take? I am prescribed some anyway from primary doc. I can take them up until 10 days before surgery. So that will get me through the first 4 days of liquids. Tomorrow is my pre op visit.

      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...

      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?
