SURGERY DAY!

Tomorrow is my surgery day!! I started at 428 and am at 395 when I go in for surgery. I had my last meal yesterday... Cheesesteak, fries, Coca-cola, and king cake!! I'm on liquids today. Low sodium chicken broth and sugar free Popsicles!! I have to be at the surgical center for 9:30am and they should start surgery at 11/11:30!! I'm so nervous and yet excited!!

I'm excited for you! I was scared and thrilled at the same time too! I am only 5 days post op, but honestly, so far I have had no problems and very little pain. I never even had to take the pain Meds they sent me home with (I did this as outpatient surgery.). Don't be scared, it was way less painful than I imagined.

I guess I'm more nervous about the after effects. Today I'm hungry and have a headache. I still have to make my bed and take the shower with the special soap but I'm so ready to get this part done! A new life even if it will still be hard work!

The pre op diet was the worse part of the whole thing for me. I was so freakin hungry! The post op has been a piece of cake in comparison because I have zero hunger for the first time in my life! My understanding is that hunger does eventually return but I am enjoying the hell out of it right now!

How did surgery go?

Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

It went very smoothly. It took about an hour and I slept on and off most of the day yesterday. I have a bit of gas but not too bad and I'm sore as hell but I have meds for that. I'm already home. I'm sipping on beef broth and Water and I'll have a popsicle later. I'm so excited to start on this journey.
