Tomorrow is the day



Recommended Posts

Tomorrow is my surgery day, and I am super nervous. Not really sure why, I have had surgery before. I think most of it is because I remember what the gas pain is like. I had my galbladder out and it was the one thing about pain that really stands out to me. I am also concerned about what life will be like after surgery. I of course want to make the change or I wouldn't be doing it, but regardless of that life will now be completely different. I am very much looking forward to feeling better. I already do just being on the liquid diet. I am also looking forward to being able to do things that are very difficult for me right now. Like hiking, sight seeing, traveling, just living day to day. I know that life is going to be much better, and that is what I want. Not to mention the health factors that go with it. I have never been too much into caring about the how I will look part, but I have to admit recently, over the last few days, I have been thinking about what it will be like to fit into clothes that I have not ever fit it. What it will be like to wear my husbands t-shirts and sweats if I want. I am looking forward to that. I am also looking forward to cute clothes.

Anyway, I may update again before tomorrow, if not I will see y'all on the other side! :)

Big changes are on the horizon! I'm excited for you. Recovery wasn't as difficult as I expected. I'm 10 weeks post-op and have no regrets. You're going to do great.

      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! 😞
