My gastric bypass surgery is tomorrow. Despite doing a lot of research, being in therapy, and having a supportive family, I'm tremendously nervous. This is normal, I'm sure, particularly since I have never had surgery of any kind before, but still, I woke up early today and couldn't get back to sleep. Too scared.

Good luck on your upcoming surgery. One thing to do before you go off to the hospital is to take a good before photograph of yourself, so that you have something to compare to after surgery. Many times we are blind to our obesity. We do not see ourselves. Therefore when the weight begins to drop off rather dramatically, we question if this is really happening. Photographs are a good visualization of our success. Many people carry a before and after photo with them, just to remind themselves of their success.

Def normal to be nervous. You sound very motivated and prepared and have the support. Also, proud of you for establishing therapy and continue to go if you need to post surgery. That way you can have the support of your therapist as well. I look forward to hearing about your journey.

I'm right there with you! My surgery is tomorrow and I haven't slept well the last couple of nights. I'm hoping tonight is better! Good luck tomorrow!!

Mine is tomorrow also, and I have been sleeping okay, but I think tonight may be tough. At least I know I will be knocked out by tomorrow night and sleeping like a baby with all of the meds I will be on. Can't wait to just be on the other side of this so I can stop obsessing, worrying, etc...about it, and start to focus on recovering and my new life.

      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?

      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
