Surgery tomorrow!

Hi everyone, since I've been posting I thought I would introduce myself. I'm a 37 year old mom and wife. My stats HW: 269. I just weighed myself this morning and I'm at 248. My surgery is at 7:30 tomorrow morning! I have to be there at 5:30. I'm anxious and excited and experiencing so many unexpected emotions. I'm usually cool as a cucumber.

My clear liquid diet is going. I'm so light headed that I'm forced to just plop my butt on the couch. I'm having terrible muscle cramps in my calves, but I'm drinking tons of Fluid. I can't keep my meds or Vitamins down so I'm thankful I only had 2 days of this nonsense. Hoping my SW is around 245. Anywho, thanks for reading and I will post my updates after surgery!

    Congrats! I'm sorry you're feeling lightheaded and sore. But trust me, it's SO worth it! I'd do this again if I had to. I only experienced two mild headaches when I did my liquid diet. It actually wasn't as bad as I expected. I guess I got lucky? Ha. :P

    It's normal to feel a bunch of emotions. I only felt excitement and anxious (the good kind) because I was so ready to get this done.

    Good luck! :)

    Sorry, no. I'm in Alabama. Though, word of advice, you may feel gas pains in your shoulder, neck, arm, or back (I felt it in my left shoulder). If you do, and the Hydrocodone doesn't help, ask the nurse for Dilaudid to take the edge off. Walk as much as you can before you request it. When you get sleepy and want to rest, then request it. There is a chance you won't experience any gas pains, though. And if you do, it usually only lasts for 2-3 days. :)
