My surgery is tomorrow morning!



Recommended Posts

I'm a hot mess! A huge ball of anxiety. I say horribly inappropriate rude things to staff when I am like this. They just need to drug my butt when I get there. I am a nurse and was a Paramedic for years so I know everything that is going to be happening and I am totally OK doing it to other people, not having it done to me. I sound awful but I can't help it right now. Wish me luck and maybe the staff too. We will all need it.

Good luck Miss Rachel (and staff) :)

You're right on the edge of a fantastic journey to health and happiness. It's okay to be nervous.

Instead of thinking about what's gonna happen tomorrow, write a list of all the things you are going to be able to do one day in the future (mine includes things like taking a bath, seeing my collar bones, kneeling on the floor, going shopping for fun...) and imagine your new self. Go to your happy place.

The drugs are just around the corner ;)

Best wishes xx

you nurses need to relax lolol... in reality.. sure you have a lot if extra info in your head that maybe u shouldn't but also that knowledge can be power...you can take better care of yourself too..but right now it's time to let go and be the patient...let them take care of you... don't give then a hard time bc you know better... and everyones trajectory is different and even unique so you can't predict what's going to happen and obsessing about all that can go wrong due to ur knowledge base isn't going to help you cope ir heal physically or emotionally....so try to let it go and get off the hamster wheel

      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!!
