4 Days till RNY Surgery



Recommended Posts

Good Afternoon All,

I'm just plain nervous. I'm trying to keep busy but it isn't working. Although this groups is a life saver. I am trying to get all my house in order but my husband keeps making a mess. So I've decided just to keep my areas clean so I will do well after surgery. I am worried about infections because I have gotten them before, but I feel that this time I will be okay. Thinking about the changes in my life ahead is daunting at times. On the other hand, it seems exciting to be starting over so to speak. Thanks for reading.

I'm in the same boat as you! I'm so stressed out right now! Since I quit cooking for my family ( told them if I can't eat it I ain't cookin it! ) my kitchen is a disaster! But I'm to stressed about my surgery to worry about them. They're just gonna have to learn the hard way I guess. The past 2 weeks has gone by fast hasn't it? I bet we don't sleep very good this weekend, lol! We'll be to busy getting everything in order.

Ditto! I have surgery next Tues 9/12 and I can't focus, my moods are all over the place.

I'm not even trying to get the house clean, it's too much of a stress adder. My problem is different. 4 days from surgery and I started having an allergic reaction to my Protein Shakes yesterday. I've got a call into my clinic (2 calls and an email actually. I have no idea what I'm going to consume for the next 4 days.

Good luck on your surgery. I will pray that it is successful. Remember to take a good before photograph so that you have something to compare to after surgery. Many times we are blind to our obesity. We do not see ourselves. Therefore when the weight begins to drop off rather dramatically, we question if this is really happening. Photographs are a good visualization of our success. Many people carry a before and after photo with them, just to remind themselves of their success. And after the surgery remember Walk, Walk, Walk.

Hey Zallykatz,

I just sent you an email feel free to reach out to me and let me know what's going through your head. I'm here for you. If your worried about infections why not ask the surgeon to give you antibiotics during and after surgery as a precaution. I have an artificial hip and I must have antibiotics before all procedures to make sure I don't get an infection in my hip. With the diabetes I am prone to infection so the precautionary measures do give me peace of mind.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
