Tomorrow is the first day of the rest of my life. I have been jumping back and forth from scared out of my mine to completely stoked!

I am fearful, anxious, excited, and motivated. I have been overweight my whole life and can't believe that it is going to be over. I have to admit... I can't picture it. I'm having a hard time seeing myself as skinny. What will I look like?! Ha! Seriously tho...

My surgery is tomorrow morning in Tempe, AZ. My parents won't be there but my BF will. I'm thankful to have him by my side.

Whew. Here goes nothing!!!!

Best of luck to any one else having surgery tomorrow or any time soon!!!

Haha. This morning on my way to surgery I found a window. It was perfect!!!! :-D

Everything went so well. I feel great and am up and walking around ever hour. I am not hungry! WOO HOO! My throat hurts a bit... nothing more than just a sore throat! As far as gas goes.... all is well. I haven't taken anything and it isn't seeming to bother me. My insicions are tender but bearable. :thumbup: Overall I am suprised at how great I feel!

I had a little anxiety attack right before I went in... just had to reassure myself that I was making the right decision. I started picturing the girl I saw in the window and my nerves started to calm down.

Thanks for all the positive words of encouragement. I've started my new chapter. I am thrilled. :thumbup:

I only took a week off... Well almost. Thursday through Wednesday!! At this rate I think Ill be good to go. Probably just a little sore.

I did read a forum someone posted and said Day 2 was harder. I am praying that it isn't the case for me!

Hotmama!

Good luck on your surgery. My best reccommendation is to just walk around as much as you can. Last night my BF and I took the dogs for a quick walk... I walked slow and it did tire me out for sure but I think it is making my recovery speed along. :thumbup:

I'm still not hungry... it is absolutely WONDERFUL!!!

This is amazing! Best decision yet!

LapLady,

Yaaa! Monday! I bet your so excited!

Pain had its toll on me yesterday. Day 1 was a piece of cake... Day 2 was a little rough... only toward the evening. I felt extremely weak and had some gas. Today is better. I am able to have more options with food... First two days I had to do a clear liquid and now the rest of the week just liquids. I am hoping that having Protein shakes will help boost my energy a bit!

Best of luck to you. I wouldn't stress too much about pain. It is totally bearable.. just have some drugs on hand! :thumbup:

      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.
