VSG Surgery & Gallbladder removal tomorrow! Yippeee

[MyBeautifulLife 3]

Morning all!

It's so bright and early for me because I haven't been getting enough sleep. I am so nervous about my surgery tomorrow! I'm doing the sleeve and also getting my gallbladder removed at the same time. I'm a bit worried about my pain tolerance . I lost 12lbs during the short period I was on my pre-op diet. Jeeze at one point I was a hungry lion in a den! but as my date kept getting closer I've took in about only 3 Optifast shakes and a lot of Water a day.. I know that's bad from the 5 shakes and 2 bars I was suppose to be taking in daily. But I built up a mentally to only eat when I'm hungry. So much is on my mind; how I am going to get in enough Protein, what exercise plan to do, the infamous LOOSE SKIN, not losing the weight............. yes i know, I'm in full blown anxiety mode with a little mixture of excitement. I would greatly appreciate all of your responses & feedback! Thanks.

Mine is tomorrow and also having gallbladder removal... I am a mess. I've lost 10 pounds this week on the pre-op diet. I don't know how I'm going to get through work today. Sunday was the day I was having serious 2nd thoughts. Now i just want to get it over. My friend who had the same said every day gets a little bit better. Good luck.

Best of luck tomorrow!! Anxiety aside (and I think we all had anxiety leading up to surgery) you sound like you're in a good mental place for after surgery. Good luck to all of you having surgery, and I wish you smooth recoveries.

I'm having my surgery at the end of the month, having my gallbladder out at the same time too. Had my endoscopy today. I am nervous to but full steam ahead, one step at a time. We will all be so much healthier and happier by next summer! Just try to occupy your mind with something else to keep the negative thought away. Yay us!
