    I'm looking forward to my op but I am a bit nervous for down the line. One thing I'm nervous about is, when I lose weight, will I struggle with a disassociation with my body? I've struggled with depression and all sorts over the years. I deal with it and talk about it but it's made me be very aware of myself. I'm curious if you still feel like you. I want to lose weight but not the person I am, if that makes sense. Anyone make sense of my bumbling? Sent from my Moto G (5) using BariatricPal mobile app

    Pre-op weigh ins

    I had a gain at my very last appointment (so frustrating!) but because I will still under my start weight, it wasn't an issue and I was approved with no issue. You've still got some time to come back down again. It's definitely normal to be anxious about it, so I completely understand. But, I do believe you will be just fine.

    Thanks all Had a scrambled egg for breakfast today - no fatigue. So you are right Fluffychix - sugar spike. Intersting. Pre surgery I could eat a family size Cadbury block and have no such spike - or not that I noticed. Maybe this will make me more in tune with my body. I have long regarded my body as simply a (pretty ugly) method to carry my brain around...

    I've lost a lot of weight. If I remember, it took a little while post op to get "my ol self" back again. I started having fun buying clothes I wanted, not just because it was the only thingt that fit me. Take one day at a time, have someone to talk with, and you will always continue to be you; with different eating habits that you will get used to. Good luck.

    Same as the above posters, surgery was easy. The pain was nothing - the stomach pain felt like I had done sit ups the day before and the incisions felt like a paper cut. The gas pain is annoying more then anything. I came off all pain killers with in a couple of hours as I didnโ€™t want to be hooked up to the machines and just wanted to walk around. I was tired for about a week. Best wishes for your surgery.

    Period during surgery, please help!

    It will be alright, trust me. I had my surgery on 12/02/17, got my period in the morning so I took with me my overnight always pads which I feel comfortable in. I was so nervous and irritated that this had happened on surgery date. As I whispered these facts to the nurse as I was getting ready (taking clothes off to put hospital stuff), she handed over hospital panties and gave me a big weird pad, then said: itโ€™s fine, this happens all the time, itโ€™s usual and there is nothing to be ashamed off... I was so happy and relieved to have special panties and not worry about being fully out while on my period. To make things better, I asked if I could change to my own pads and they were like sure!! I was relieved! The pads from the hospital were not comfortable at all. I was so happy! Just take a few things with you and you will be fine: baby wipes and your own pads (in case you get your period too). You will be fine. Good luck!

    Hey guys do you suppose I might be part Bassett Hound? Know I'm tired of being fat and droopy so I'm going to go through with my surgery. How about you? Sent from my VS880PP using BariatricPal mobile app

    I think in some ways I have changed but who I am is still the same. I think the things that have changed are confidence and habits. Dealing with a slimmer body can be difficult to process. It has been for me. I didn't think it would. Two thoughts to pass on on that front. My doctor told me I needed to develop a new identity as an active "skinny" person. (I don't consider myself skinny but he was making a poont.) Counseling - I'm a big fan of c.b.t. and working through it. It is worth it though. It may be easy for you to accept the new package too.
