Good luck to everyone having surgery this week! Mine is Tuesday. The preop diet is killing me which has made me truly ready for the surgery. Sorry to be a whiner lmao but I'm so ready for them to cut my stomach off so I'm not this starving all the time!




Mine is Wednesday 8/9....I'm nervous and excited at the same time

How are YOU doing?!



Aw you are sweet! Thank you for asking I'm doing really good! Hard to get a schedule going to get all the fluids in but pain is almost gone and feeling good. I think the most difficult part will be feeding the family and not myself while I'm cooking ;) but for now everyone is fending for themselves very nicely!

I'm so glad I'm single and child free for that reason!! I'm hard enough to deal with on my own lol. Glad to hear you're doing well. I'm starting to get a little worried about the pain. I feel like I'm getting less pain tolerant with age--maybe it's just more anxious lol. Keep up the good work. It sounds like you're in high spirits! What's been the hardest part for you so far?

Worried about pain as we get closer!! And my overwhelming desire to binge because I've been so hungry on this two week mostly liquid diet! Deprivation definitely triggers binges for me. I'm hangry and ready to get on with the surgery if only to not be ..So..hangry.

You know what the pain is a worry but they are super aware of that... You will have an iv and probably a button so you can give yourself meds lol.. I did. I have been home for 2 days and haven't needed the meds. Took some the night I came home just to sleep and that was it. Every person is different but if you are prepared for hurting you will be ok. Walk... Walk as soon as you can and as often and that helps. It's not unbearable :)... The not knowing and anxiety is worse I think :)

The hardest part for me is the mental hunger. I want to eat! I'm not hungry but I am struggling with that. Good thing is seems like something is always going in my mouth (water sips or Protein Shake sips) so I hope it goes away lol... If you have that problem take up another hobby! I have been crocheting like a little old lady but its helping lol... Blankets for everyone!!

I'm not sure if I'll have a pain pump but they do seem to be very proactive about pain. They've given me RXs for Gabapentin (I'm guessing for nerve pain? Maybe it'll help the gas pain!?) And for Celebrex (def for inflammation) to take before the surgery. I'm hopefully over mentally prepared so it's not as bad as I'm expecting! Totally ready to walk!

I feel you on the heart hunger. I've been doing a lot of soul searching these past few days. I've got to find something I love to fill my binge holes (minus my mouth lol) and I'm already about entirely divorced from Protein Shakes so it's gonna be Water and a new hobby. Think I'm gonna try to put more effort into learning to draw.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
