May 12th around the corner

I have 10 more days, been on the preop diet for two and half weeks. Lost about 20lb maybe more, put the scale away and will not take it out again. Next weight will be at the hospital. I feel really good today. I think my body is ready for surgery and starting a new life. I have already notice that I'm able to walk further now. My boss is sending me into NYC this morning which mean i have a lot of walking to do. This weekend, i'm also going to gym to start my workout routine. Getting really excite about the 12th.

Best wishes for you! Sounds like you're ready to roll!

Had a other good day. The pre-op diet is good not hungry any more. Was able to walk two block in NYC without pain which is great for me. My husband is finally on board with the surgery. Life is good. : )

Feeling really good today. I was able to walk a couple of block, do my work and walk back without sitting and no pain. It's amazing how losing 25lb makes a difference on my back. Only 165lb to go. Wishing my surgery was this Monday.

Hello! I will be having my surgery on May 14th. I am so ready. Been on my pre-op diet since this past Wednesday. Boy, do I want to chew something. LOL. Good luck with your surgery!

[Susan11803 219]

Good Luck to you too. I'm still able to eat meat/dinner for two more day. Then Monday the all liquid diet starts.

Good luck on your journey Susan11803, I am also having my surgery on May 12, I am nervous and excited. I can't believe it almost here.

I too am scheduled for Monday the 12th. I'm a bit nervous now. Had been doing pretty good but the nerves for tomorrow are actually higher than for the actual surgery - my surgeon only requires a one day liquid diet - I thought I was more ready than I think I am now. broth, sugar free popsicles, etc. - be still my pitty patty heart! I can't wait. I managed to not put any weight on in the last three weeks - traveling for the last two - and I was really concerned about that but the idea of only liquids almost has me running scared. I seriously need to make sure I stock the sf popsicles and jello! Good luck to all - see you on the flip side of the operation!

Today is the Day! I'm getting myself ready to head to the hospital for my surgery! So excited! Best of Luck to everyone that is having theirs done today also.

Done and done - surgery went well and I'm back home. Moderate pain, breathing hurts when it's a deep breathe. Walking helps. Not having my two dogs jumping all over me is a plus!

Well my surgery was a success, but I did spend 3 nights in the hospital instead of 1. For vomiting turns out my stomach was more swollen then what the Doctor expected. So I had to take even smaller sips of Water. Other than that I'm doing just fine and adjusting well.
