It’s the day before surgery for me. I’ve been battling a sore throat and cough the last week, which has left me exhausted.
I spent most of yesterday wondering if I’m doing the right thing having surgery. And worried about still being sick before I even got to surgery. Felt quite overwhelmed and wondered why the hell I’m doing this.
I’ve been madly searching on Instagram for inspiration. I’m nervous I’m not ready for this. Worried about getting through liquid diet still and nervous about knowing what to do after.
Yet still know it’s what I need to be doing.

I hope everyone is doing really well. Take care.

Ok, surgery tomorrow and why is it so hard to receive a fax? My cardiologist has now faxed clearance 3 times omg!! I am very happy I took off this whole week so I could drive and get the stupid paper in hand and deliver it to the Bariatrics Dr omg! They told me to make sure I take a copy just to make sure things go ok tomorrow... really omg:( I have tried to make sure this is all done and yet the leave me stressing for tomorrow..sigh. Come on 5:30am so I can get this started and over!!
Get the frustrations out of the way. Tomorrow we are going to have a great day, everything will go well, and we will have a quick recovery!!!!

Best of luck to you and everyone else in the roster for tomorrow!!! 😊

I'm at Toronto Western hospital waiting to be prepped for surgery. So nervous as I has a little one at home with ASD who needs me. He is a big part of why I'm doing this RNY. I need to be healthy and active to be able to meet his needs. Pray for me for a complication free surgery and recovery!

Sent from my LM-Q910 using BariatricPal mobile app

Best of luck to you!!!!!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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
