36 hours to go. freaking out



Recommended Posts

I am close now 36 hours until I am due in surgery. I am getting Super Nervous. Worried about dying on the table, worried about having the operation then not being able to enjoy food. Worried about what will happen in general to my way of life. Second-guessing myself if I'm ready. What if what if what if. It's very real now. In a way I think I'm also worried about actually losing the weight it's kind of like the movie Shawshank Redemption first the bars keep you in then the bars keep the world out. I think it's like that first the fat hold you back from experiencing the fullness of life then it becomes something to protect you from any negative experiences associated with a full life, if that makes any sense? I sure could use some words of encouragement to help study my nerves a little.

I worried about that stuff too. I called my kids to tell them I loved them and reminded my wife about the life insurance policy...lol. Ur gonna take a nap and wakeup sore. U won't be hungry. Ur not gonna wake-up a size 3 so u will have a little time to get used to the new u, though I'm still shocked when I see myself in the mirror sometimes..lol.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      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

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
