Looking for January op buddies!



Recommended Posts

My op is on the 5th - so in just a few days. It has all happened very quickly and I am feeling anxious.

Would love to make some friends to share the highs and lows.

I'm 43 with 2 kids and live on the English South coast.

My surgery is tomorrow, and I am a ball of nerves. I'm considered low risk, so I'm really hoping everything goes well and there are no complications! I've got to finish packing my hospital bag tonight. I can't believe it's here!

How is everyone doing?

Oh the absolute same here!!! So nervous, should NOT have googled! Google is no longer my friend!!!!

My bag is almost packed - lots of nighties, pj bottoms and all things comfy.

Don't think I'll sleep tonight

My surgery is the 23rd! I'm about to start the pre-op liquid diet. It sounds brutal. Any suggestions?

My surgery is the same day, I'll be thinking about you! My liquid diet will start 10 days before, so Jan 9th, next Friday.

Hello my darlings!

Sorry for the late update!

I had my mini bypass surgery Thursday afternoon. I had a bit of a hard time with the anesthetic and felt like I'd been hit by a bus for the first 24 hours.

Then when I woke this morning it was as if it had never happened. I felt short of miraculous.

I'm having very little pain - basically I just feel like I need to pass wind. A lot of it. (Sorry!)

I was in with 2 other ladies who had a similar experience. So I'll say - first 24 hours is not nice but once you're through that you'll be like a new person.

There is no feeling of hunger whatsoever so I'll have to teach myself to count nutrients!

We got a choice of 3 different diet methods. Is liquid really your only option?

      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?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
