3 more sleeps until surgery and nervous!!!



Recommended Posts

Hi guys... new here!! 34 year old mother and wife from the UK! 3 more sleeps until surgery and I am getting very nervous!!! Have found the pre op diet a tough one - never realised how much of a true issue I had with food! Have stuck at it however as terrified of my liver not being suitable for surgery!! I have two young children - age 2 and 6 - it will be my first night away from them so I hope they'll be ok! Just got to keep remembering I am doing this for us all, for a better life for us all!

I guess I just wondered if anyone has any tips for before / after surgery! Eeeek!

Much love x

I'm down to 2, though I hadn't thought of it that way. I'm in clean and prep mode so I'm not really given my myself time to be nervous.

I've read everything and prepared everything as much as I can. I'm so ready to take the next step that I'm looking forward to it more than anything.

I'm sure I'll have plenty of time to get truly anxious Sunday night and Monday morning.

I'm doing ok on the pre-op diet. It kind of feels like I've always eaten this way at this point, though pictures of food still jolt me into really wanting something delicious and sugar free Jello isn't it. Lol.

Today I am three sleeps out, too. Nervous too and getting ready to fly to surgery city tomorrow early. I have a 5 year old and she will be with me and my adult son on the surgery trip.

tonight I finally did my "before" photos and measurements. Sobering. But hey, it will be amazing in a few months to have them.

Good luck to all my fellow sleevers this week.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
