Surgery tomorrow freaking out



Recommended Posts

I dunno how to feel. My emotions are all over the place. I dunno if I'm scared, nervous, anxious, excited. I'm so confused. My bff is coming from nj to be here with me, and my other bff is coming from work to be here with me. I want this but I just don't wanna think about it. This is so surreal to me ughhh. Smh help me ease my mind please!

What you are going thru it totally normal... this is a big step; but one that will bring about a healthier you... glad you will have support, it's always great to have people in your corner!

Just try to relax (I know, easier said than done) picture yourself as the weight melts off... think of the things you plan to do... set up a mini goal for yourself and when you reach it, what will you do for yourself? Manicure, pedicure, massage...etc...

Good luck, you've got this!

(don't know why part of this is in "quotes")

Wishing you all the best on your surgery. Try to focus on all those things that helped you make the decision to go down this road. And focus on how you're going to feel when you're healthier, lighter ... all the things you look forward to doing.

And be sure to come back to this thread and tell us how you're doing!

Are you going to have a "slumber party" with your friends? Enjoy some movies, do pedicures (you can't have your nails painted) ... do something fun that will take your mind off it... I was so excited, I couldn't sleep!!!! I took some tylenol pm, sat down and watched a movie and in a few moments I was OUT!

Don't think about it too much, as it's going to happen. It's as good as done. As I always like to say: Not to spoil the ending for you, but everything is going to be OK. You've got support with your friends… both in person and here. We're all rooting for you.

Besides, us Jersey broads are pretty tough Cookies. :)

Be well…

I am having surgery on May 6 and am feeling the same as you. I am going over in my mind what I will do to deal with the discomfort ,not being able to "pig out", etc. I am thinking about looking at dresses on the line so I can pick one to wear to my nephew's wedding in September. It will be nice to not have to get a plus size. Also, we are going away next February break to the Bahamas. I think I will "window shop" on my computer for a couple of nice bathing suits and summer clothes. I am scared too. We should try to do things that don't make us think so much about the difficult part of the surgery and focus on the benefits as we get thinner. We can do this! There are a lot of people here if you need some help. Best of luck tomorrow!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
