Hi you two...thats my surgery date as well. @piemonade...what are you scared of?

Sent from my SM-G935T using the BariatricPal App

Pain, mostly! I have had five children, and am a tough lady, but I'm definitely worried that this will be unlike anything I've ever felt before! Also, just nervous about the length of recovery time.

Since I posted, I started my pre surgery diet with the goal of shrinking my liver. I have a hernia that needs repairing as well. My last pre op visit is Wednesday (the day after tomorrow) and I'm the kind of person who gets less nervous with more information. ;) Once I know all my times and copay and such, I hope I'll be less scared.

More than anything though, I'm scared of living the rest of my shortened life in an obese body! So I'm also excited to finally make the leap. It's been a long road and I'm ready to get started on the new life.

We are in the same boat then. I also have a hernia that needs to be repaired. The doctors think it is the culprit causing my acid reflux, so hopefully repairing will eliminate that issue completely *fingers crossed*.

Excitement trumps the nervousness, so lets continue to be excited! Change is coming ;)

Don't sweat it....pain is nothing compared to childbirth.....nothing.

As for the recovery...i think, most of the time needed off is for the mental adjustment.

I'm not going to say I wasn't nervous, because I was....but after going through it, I was surprised with the whole process.

Only real uncomfortable issue I had was Constipation.

I'm sitting in the waiting room for my final pre-op appointment right now! I hope I get my time. Right now I also just have the date.

I'm in the suburbs of Houston. :)

Everyone doing ok?

The pain from incisions isn't too bad... kind of like a bad sunburn. What's bothering me at the moment is gas pain and nausea. Walking helped me start burping, but it's still there.

I'm having thoughts that I shouldn't have done this! It's silly because it's not like I can go back and change my mind now, but I'm feeling overwhelmed.

I don't want to eat, but I think that's normal.

I'm doing really well as far as the medical team is concerned, and I get to go home today. I think I'll be able to sleep better there.

How are you all?

      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.

      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!!
