stumblesmcgee 1 Posted May 26, 2015 Hello, I was just posting to get a personal insight into the sugery and the emotions prior. I am 5'6, 254lbs and June 15th is my surgery date, I have done some research on my own as well as the information the doctor provided, now after a few months of anticipation its time to realize its all going to drastically change. I am mentally prepared for this life changing surgery I am just emotionally feeling anxious, excited, scared, and everything at once! How did anyone prepare themselves emotionally for this roller coaster? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lauraellen80 855 Posted May 26, 2015 Hi, @@stumblesmcgee! We're having our surgeries on the same day! I'm on an emotional rollercoaster at this point, too. Doesn't help that I've just weaned myself off coffee--yesterday was my first day with absolutely no caffeine, and I almost murdered my husband because he helped me put new sheets on our bed and HE WASN'T DOING IT RIGHT!!

ShrinkingPeach 1,291 Posted May 26, 2015 I am 11 days post-op and I read everything I could get my hands on. I researched the foods I would be eating after surgery and went ahead and cut out all the bad stuff. I researched what I could eat at each stage and prepared for them but noting things I could do to make it less boring and flavorful without adding calories. It was less of a shock than abruptly changing after surgery when I had so much more going on as well. I am currently in the soft food phase and its great! I had some nervous moments before surgery also but it has been amazing so far and I am excited for you both!! Good luck and see you on the loser's bench.
