Looking for buddies Late March/Early April surgery



Recommended Posts

Hello, I'm new here and just looking to make some friends who are on a similar timeline. My surgery is scheduled for 3/28/17. I'm starting to get nervous

About me: I live in the greater Cincinnati area on a 200 acre farm with my husband and our 5 dogs, 7 cats, 2 horses, and many cows and chickens. I am 34 years old and suffer from generalized anxiety and depression, and some social anxiety. I am an introverted person, so making friends online is easier. I love riding my horses, being outside, music, watching sports, and reading. After surgery I hope to get back into running, weight lifting, and hiking. I am an open-minded and sensitive person.

My biggest fear currently is that I will have the surgery and still manage to fail by regaining weight or not losing. I've struggled with my weight on and off since my teens.

Looking forward to sharing the journey!

My pre op is tomorrow. And surgery is set for 4/6. Originally it was 3/30 but the dr is away that week. I'm nervous/ excited / scared all at the same time

My surgery is 3/26 and I am already on my pre-op diet. It will get easier as time goes and I am sure that you will succeed. Positive thoughts brings postive results. Know and believe you can and you will.

Hi. My surgery is planned on 29th of March, and I have to be admitted on 27th. I am anxious about it. I have not disclosed it to anyone despite my husband as it would open further discussions in family and work. I am hoping everything would go smooth.

I have surgery 3/30. I have only told my hubby & my bestie who is also a medical doctor. I don't want to hear anything anyone else has to say. Especially when I had a previous WLS (LapBand that was defective & had to be removed)... I have enough going on not to have to deal with the negativity of others. I am hoping to find support here though.

      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
