Surgery Tomorrow



Recommended Posts

So surgery is tomorrow .... nervous but just anxious to get it over with lol ... excited but nervous ..... been hard 6 months working lost about 45 lbs during the last 6 months ... and now this is just the beginning of this journey...well midway ... surgery 9am so I know it’s going to be hard getting a good sleep any suggestions to sleep calm like a baby lol ... I try not to think of it to much but it’s surgery and thats a main thing... I have heard of doctors stopping surgery due to fatty liver even if they did diet changes and lost weight .... also after surgery do you take your Protein liquid that day hours after surgery or what happens after surgery do I bring my protein liquid drink with me ??? or once I go home is it then that i start my liquid drink once again ...??

I'm on Optifast I'm allowed 3 shakes 1 Protein Bar and 1 Soup. I've lost 10 pounds but with that said I think it's because it runs right through me😫As long as you are following it you'll be ok!

Glad to hear all went well. I am going in on 12/11 and feel the same way - excited but scared. It is great to hear everyone's stories and their progress through the months. You all give me such hope. During this whole process I was diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease so I am hoping this weight loss will make my legs feel a lot better. Mine is all in my legs and feet. I do not have any tremors or pain/cramping in my arms or hands at all. Legs are getting weaker so this weight loss should really help.

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
