Freaking out



Recommended Posts

The count down begins I go for my pre op appt today at 1:30 and the hosp is suppose to call and go over the plans and time for my Gall bladder Sugery.

I have been sick to my stomach for the last 3 days. Hurts to sit (sorry)

Anyway I have drank enough Baby Percy to stop up an elephant and it's still not working. I also have stomach cramps not to mention the feeling of wanting to run and hide. I know I have to have this done but I hate above anything the whole pre op procedure, does that make sense. I could just cry now I am feel so sick to my stomach about the whole thing. I know when I look back and read this it's going to be funny that I even had these feelings.

Wish me luck I am going to try and keep myself busy so I do not have to think about it.

I planted snapdragons and Russian Sage around the border of our yard yesterday just to keep me busy. I figured if the panic Attack does not do me in the the allergies will.

sorry to be so glum but I guess my body is going into panic mode

Awwww, I know it is always awful to have to have surgery. I am glad you are staying busy! I had my gallbladder out in 92 and I was in the door of the hospital and home in 7 hours. I was the first patient that hospital let go home the same day. It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be, just really sore for a while.

Maybe you can go shopping and stay busy that way. Or, just keep coming on her and talking all the time. :):):D

Shucks, I'd let them take my gallbladder if I knew it meant they wouldn't want yours. Sucks being anxious, but how cute are you to plant Snapdragons? See if the doc will put your gallbladder in a jar for you. Decorate your hospital room with crepe' paper. Ask the nurse's station to page you. Bring lollypops for the whole staff. Try to have fun with it to keep yourself from cracking up, and it will all be over before you know it. Peace & good luck to you.

Thank you all very much Im feeling better for now.

Gained 4.1 lbs that was upsetting but over all my doc assured me that it should all work up fine and they will give me something as soon as they can to stop me from having a panic attack..

Nothing like running down the hall with your Iv bottle and your booty flopping from side to side looking for the exit. :(

I was so relieved after my gall bladder surgery. I was in horrible pain from my gall bladder and had not been able to keep food down for months without getting violently ill every night. Nothing and I mean NOTHING would touch the pain. After my day surgery I was on cloud nine to have no pain and to eat what I wanted without getting sick...you will feel so much better afterwards and won't miss that gall bladder one bit. Good luck and let us know how it goes!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
