Recommended Posts

Best wishes and positive thoughts to everyone whose surgery is today and this week! Congratulations for sticking with it through the tests, appointments, waiting, etc.
🎉 I HAVE TWO MORE ‘SLEEPS’ 🎉🎉TIL MY WEDNESDAY SURGERY🎉
Continued best wishes and healing thoughts to those who are recovering.
I did a lot of retail therapy yesterday to keep myself occupied. I even started a re-styling project for a favorite piece of furniture. DH even got onboard with it because, well, he ‘just’ knew that it would be best if he did. 😂 LOL
I had the tiniest morsel of birthday cake at a birthday we celebrated after dinner yesterday. Today and tomorrow I’m at school, this afternoon is my COVID test.
I’m keeping busy till Wednesday the best I can.
Thank you to everyone here who provided the most useful diversion and information while I trudged toward approval and surgery!

Not at all! I hope we all do amazing. I have two weeks until I fly to San Antonio. It's getting a bit real at this point.

Went for my pre-op today, surgery date is June 7th. I'm so ready for this surgery - just nervous about the recovery time.

My surgery is out-patient because of covid. Has anyone here been released the same day? How was your experience?

My surgery is 7th too. It's at 8:30 am. I'm just trying to breathe because I'm feeling super nervous. But we got this.

Here I am on the appropriate board for a June 6 surgery date. I previously posted this on the May board. 🤦🏻‍♀️
Anyway, my Covid test is negative. 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Already emailed the results to my surgeon’s office.

My 2nd oldest daughter who has gone through med school, reminded me of this:
Narcotics deprive you of your deeper stages of sleep that your body really needs to heal.

That being said, being able to use a non-narcotic will help one recover more quickly.

🎉2 MORE SLEEPS TIL SURGERY🎉

I'm scheduled for 10:30. It's normal for us to second guess the choice. I hope all goes well with your surgery 🙌

Start my 2 week pre op diet tomorrow, 50g carbs or less, 1,000 cal or less and no less than 30g protien. Daily for 2 weeks.

My pre-op diet is not as restrictive as others. Not sure why. But I'm not complaining.

      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?
