Started Pre-op today! Excited and ...



Recommended Posts

All I can think about is, 'How am I going to make it for 13 more days?" It has only been 4 hours since I woke up!

I am off work this week, so I have more time on my hands than usual! :tongue2:

I need to get moving and do something to get my mind off of this ! I know it is purely psychological, as there are many days that I don't have anything to eat until lunch time, and already today, I;ve had a shake, a cup of tea and some crystal light!

I have a question - has anyone begun a mild workout program during the preop diet? I have a membership at a gym ( pay everymonth but never use) and am thinking it might be a good distraction to do some light cardio. Of course I am looking for an excuse, and am afraid it might make me hungry! Does anyone have any thoughts on this?

I am SO excited for 1/12/09! NYU - Dr. Ren

Also - can anyone point me in the right direction for putting a ticker on my signature?

I started my pre-op today too! I'm working nights tonight and I'm worried how I will make it all night with nothing to eat!!! I'm setting here looking at my elipitical trying to make myself get on it and exercise. If this program is going to work, I'd better get on it. Good luck to you. I'm also having my surgery on Jan. 12!~!!!:tongue2:

stay focused, you will get there, & drink lots of hot fluids to keep you full for longer,

i am using my treadmill, though i have just done 15 min hardish workout on it & came off feeling very dizzy, so i will reduce it to half & keep busy doing housework,

Im just so bothered about catching a cold/flu as people are getting the winter bugs..

is there any precautions i can take to avoid it? apart from hiding :tongue2:

Thanks for your reply! Where are you having your surgery? I think it would be tough to work nights, as I would always think that if I felt tired, a cookie or something would help me stay up. Good luck tonight! We can do it!

      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.
