Well, it's finally over...got sleeved yesterday and I feel surprisingly good. I didn't have to stay overnight and got to sleep in my own bed! I felt better after this surgery than after my gall bladder surgery. Thanks so much to everyone for their posts and encouraging words. It really helped lower my anxiety and prepare me do what to expect. Happy losing everyone!!
Just attended my nutrition class and got my pre-op diet food. Surgery is next Monday, so only one week pre-op. Doc has me on post op plan of 1week clear liquids, 3 weeks purée and 8 weeks soft. I'm excited to get this journey started!
That's what my friends say too. No one can understand the daily challenges we face. My body is fighting against me everyday. If this surgery helps us win the war for our long term health and well being then that's what we've for to do. I can't lie though...I'm still a little nervous and scared.
I'm set for the 26th and I'm still having a hard time telling my closest friends. Only one has been supportive so far. Thank goodness my husband is behind me! I'm still having mixed feelings about everything. Hopefully this forum will help me find answers and support!
