How was your day?

It is the Friday before my surgery, Surgery day is Monday the 21st. Today is my last day of work for a few weeks.

I am stressed out about that but happy to get some time off. My job is hectic and stressful and quite demanding. Frankly, no one else can do my job although people will try so there will lots of issues upon my return. I am trying not to worry about it.

I am trying to only worry about me for once. I want to go Monday have a easy surgery, and hope to have a smooth recovery. I am looking forward to trying new things and changing a lot of things in my life.

I think I am still in disbelief that my day has finally come. I am not nervous or excited, anything really. I am just READY.

Thanks for letting me share! 😊

Just completed a 45 min walk for the second day in a row. I am 2 weeks post op. It's a beautiful spring day and I am amazed at my progress just in one week. Last week at this time there was no way I would have been able to walk for more than 8 minutes or so.

My husband has a similar job and stresses out when he takes time off as well. I tell him that it will give them a chance to learn that they can’t do it without you. I’m sure you will go back to a couple messes but they will also appreciate you more.

Did your surgery center have you make a list of non scale related things you are looking forward to post surgery. It is especially good to have during the stalls.

That’s awesome. Good for you. I wish it was nice outside here for me to walk.

Okay I got the thread going, now what? I have no clue how the chat rooms even worked. Anyone who has ideas for topics feel free to chime in. I’m sure you guys don’t want just me replying to you, lol.

I had a great day today! Had booked the day off and it was glorious Spring sunshine. Went into town, bought some pots and planters for my flower seeds and bulbs - I get those in tomorrow hopefully. I adore Spring - it's my favourite season. I detest Winter - so glad it's done for another year.

I may have a glass of wine this evening - I know lots of people don't this soon after surgery (I'm 4 months post-op) but I do like just one glass on Friday and Saturday night - I always have and it feels like a bit of normality.

Have a great weekend everyone. 🤩

I was outside for a bit today and it's already hotter than hades. Summer can skip me this year. 93F/34C 🔥

Yea I feel the same. It’s just super humid here. I kept hoping for the polar bear club to invite me like everyone else who’s had the surgery but for some reason I still get HOT!!

Yeah I'm hoping I will join that club after surgery too. I'm not sure how I'm a native Floridian and despise the heat and humidity.

I made a server/chat room on Discord if anyone is interested in chatting there. It will be invite only, so it would be exclusively bariatric patients. Let me know if y'all are interested in doing this.

      I don't know when I reached Onederland but just weighed myself @198. 😁

      Constantly amazing myself. This is probably a normal experience for all of us on a WL journey.
      This morning I was at 174 pounds (78.9 kilos). I can perceive that my brain hasn't really caught up to this yet, as I still feel obese, even though I am close to being considered a normal weight, not even overweight. The smaller clothes, the higher fitness level, the great blood work results, the energy- these all tell me a totally different story!
      I have NEVER EVER been, never, not once in my life, nada, zip, zilch, zero times, been "thin." I think this explains some of the disconnect between the reality of my body and the stuckness of my brain. I do have confidence that my mind will catch up soon ❤️
      Not really having the experience of true hunger yet, but I can perceive the peristalsis of my digestive tract. And I am getting very good at spotting head hunger, and simply noticing it, like a Buddhist.

      I ordered the Barbecue Protein Crisps here from BariatricPal, and find them quite tasty. The Ranch flavour, not so much. They are very filing and have a satisfying crunch.
      I continue to shrink, and am amazed at the changes all over my body. Visually, it is striking to me. In the mirror, I look thin to my eyes, but I don't feel thin, although I can see more bones and veins and tendons and floppy skin. Cardio-wise, It takes a lot more effort to get my heart rate up and I'm now monitoring which heart zone I can get into and for how long. My resting heart rate is the lowest it's ever been.
      If I think about it, and I left myself feel it for a time, I weep (like, boohoo cry) with joy. I am so grateful to myself, and proud of myself for having the courage to have taken the leap to better health.
