My surgery is in about 9 hrs! I am so nauseous and light headed I am not sure if it’s that I am nervous or just hungry from being on liquids lol. I wasn’t not one bit nervous until today. I can’t sleep! Ahhh! But at the same time I am excited to begin this new journey [emoji3]. Anyone else having surgery 10/25?

Nope , but I wish you the best of luck! Congratulation on your new journey!

I'm like 18 days post op... keep grinding from the time u wake up out of anaesthesia till u get too your goal. Good luck you'll be fine. Stay strong the 1st week is the hardest then it's uphill from there..

Hi-

I understand your nerves! When I think about what a major change this is going to be I get nervous too. Try to sleep- everything will be fine this time tomorrow!! Your surgeon is a pro. Smooth sailing. Take care! Good luck- sending good vibes.

Good luck! Nerves=normal. You’ll be right. Hugs x

I'm the same! I'm 9 hours until my surgery. I'm feeling excited, scared, but mostly worried about the pain. I'm also getting my hiatus hernia repaired. I'm only in hospital for 1 night so the fridge is stocked with soups, broths, yougurt etc. Ready to start the new chapter. Good luck with yours.

Wishing you guys lots of luck and praying for a quick and easy recovery. Mine is scheduled for 4 weeks from today, I’m sure I will be feeling the same way you are. You are going to do great [emoji177]


Have a great day!

Thank you! That’s exactly what I did... even though I had a lot of issues with the anesthesia I still sucked it up and got my butt walking as soon as I got out of recovery helped so much with the gas pain.

Thank you! I am feeling pretty good right now. At first I struggled a bit I was so tired but I couldn’t sleep and it was frustrating because I felt restless but I am doing so much better now [emoji3]. Good luck with your surgery you will do just fine trust me I was nervous for no reason everything happens so fast.

Thank you! Your surgery will be here in the blink of an eye and you will do just fine!

Well it's now over and done with. I was done at 9.30am on the 26th. All day I battled though the gas pain, which after many hours they controlled it down to a 4 out of 10. Couldn't keep my eyes open to walk until though the night and then I felt dizzy. Home day 2 on pain relief. Trying to get comfortable was hard but I got more sleep than the night before. I know that this next week will be the hardest but it will be all worth it. Keeping my mind on the goal ahead which is a healthier body that I can love.

CONGRATULATIONS!!

So glad you made it through ok and are home. Take care of yourself and keep us posted. ?

Just had my first few teaspoons of custard. Went down smoothly and tasted good. Full after 4 tablespoons! My surgeon says eat anything liquid that you can get though a straw that is really runny, e.g. Custard, broth, runny yogurts, the higher in protein like Dairy is the better.

So glad it all worked out. Nervous as heck too. Surgery is Nov 1!

You'll be fine. I'm up to day 4 now. I'm extreamly swollen around my belly, it's never been as big as it is! I have 6 wounds where they've gone in and they are pretty sore but I'm resting and taking pain meds so it's berable. I'd hate to be going back to work in a few days (I've got 2 weeks off) make sure you take enough time off. The scales have gone up but I'm not worried because I know it's all swelling and will eventually come out. Good luck.
