One Week Pre-Op!



Recommended Posts

I have one week to go until my surgery. The count down is REALLY on. I couldn’t be more excited about this change in my life.

I do have some nervous feelings, as expected l, but I believe this is the right thing to do. I am going into surgery with one of my very best friends. I will have the best support from her!

Having had surgery on my uterus l, I know the gas pain is going to be the worst part of this but I am ready to conquer it! WALK WALK WALK.

I hope everyone is doing well and for those of you waiting, your day will come!!

Gah how do you deal with the wait?!? I hate waiting. Patience is my least favorite virtue, and I've neglected it quite wonderfully. But 1 week away is fantastic! What are you doing to distract yourself? Are you on a liquid preop?

I know the pain of the gas too having had my gallbladder out, that stuff is brutal!

I stay busy cleaning my house. Visiting my mom down the road....work & family life keep my brain occupied. Someone from the outside looking in, would have NO idea I was having a major life changing operation coming up.
I start liquid Friday. Only a 3 day pre op requirement for my doctor that I am thankful for. 1200 calorie diet until then. Still downing 64+ oz Water daily.

      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! 😞
