law001 40 Posted January 10, 2014 Hi, I was given my surgery date the other day and it seems like things are moving very fast and I'm starting to get nervous. I am 205lbs 5'3 and have a BMI of 36. I have moderate sleep apnea. At my heaviest I was 216 and with diet and exercise I lost almost 65lbs. I maintained a 50lb loss for almost 2yrs but in June I was involved in a serious car accident and have since gained about 50lbs. My concern is that I am taking drastic measures. I am afraid of dying and complications. I am afraid of never being able to enjoy eating again and I'm afraid that I won't be able to eat fruits and vegetables again. Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Suko75 10 Posted January 10, 2014 Good luck I am 9 days post, didn't have pre op diet and was worried sick, I was gonna escape on the morning of the surgery from fear I guess it's normal. My first day was difficult and I was asleep most time but today I am so much better today and walking well and eating Soup, pudding, mash potatoes I even took a bite of cake and doing well. I blend a banana with milk and drink my doc allows it. Guess it's just a matter of time and will start having better portions and eating my fruits Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
