Recommended Posts

Ok folks, I am a long time lurker/reader and first time poster... I got approved on June 25th and my surgery is scheduled for July 30th.. I started liquids today.. The most extensive thing I have ever had done was I had my wisdom teeth taken out so needless to say I am TERRIFIED/NERVOUS/EXCITED.. all at the same time.. I actually didn't know that was possible but it is.. I just wanted to come on here and talk a little to get the nerves in check.. It seems when I have a moment of "OMG, I can't believe I am doing this", I come on here and read and i relax.. My biggest fear is making it through the liquids part.. That is what I am channeling all my energy into.. I don't know why I am nervous about being on liquids but for someone who needs weightloss surgery.. this is obviously not something i can willingly do just for the heck of it.. right.. Anyway.. thanks for letting me come on here and vent.. I am pretty sure I will be back as it gets closer and after my procedure.. Thanks for listening!!! Good luck to those that are about to undergo surgery and those waiting on approvals!!!!!! :crying: :thumbup:

It really does go by fast, and just try to remind yourself that it's all part of the process..... you have already left your old life behind and you have started on your healthy journey! The surgery itself should be a breeze, honestly.... for me it certainly wasn't any worse than having my wisdom teeth out. You're going to do great.... don't be a stranger here!

My surgery is July 30th too. I actually work with the bariatric surgery program I'm using. I've read posts on this forum on and off for awhile now and when I've read of pre-op anxiety I've kinda blown it off and thought the posters were crazy. Now I'm right there with them! I can imagine a million different things that can go wrong. My biggest fear is saying something embarassing or stupid when I'm coming out of anesthesia since I know everyone there!

I've been waiting for surgery since February and this is the first time I've been anxious about it. I'm scheduled for Tuesday. What surprises me is how long some of you have had to be on liquid diets pre-op... I only have to do a two-day clear liquid diet, starting today (Sunday). It's weird how the doctors have such different methods.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
