Surgery Tomorrow

[WeightIsntFate 4]

So tomorrow at noon I am getting sleeved, part of me is so excited and wishes I could go under right now then the other part of me is wishing I would have went out and eaten In-N-Out & Sushi & Pasta & all my favorite foods before starting my no foods diet. How is everyone doing with pre op and knowing your going into surgery? I'm not nervous about pain but more about never getting to enjoy the horrible fattening foods I loved. I know the results i'll get are better than the food I could consume without it but 3 day of no food is really getting to my head.

Good luck tomorrow! I am 5 months out and cannot believe how quickly the times has gone. May your surgery go smoothly and hope you have a quick recovery. It was eaiser than I expected, hope that is true for you too.

thank you. In my head I believe everything will go smoothly and after surgery I will be able to adjust quickly. I just hope recovery is quick, I see many people with quick recoveries then some who say its the worst pain they've ever felt so i don't know how to prepare myself but I'm hoping for the best (:

Good luck! My surgery was one week ago today. Everyone's surgery experiences are a little different but I hope you have a quick recovery. Keep in mind that although we must give up a life of eating fast food and fattening items as staples, we will be eating healthier, living a longer and hopefully more satisfying life!

Good luck as others have said It will be worth it! I am so happy with my loss so far feeling great, moving great. Barley even remember that old nasty surgery!

I would urge you not to consider your post-op a "no-foods" diet. It is most definitely a "different food" diet, especially in the clear liquid stage, but since you always need nourishment, you never actually go without food. Don't psyche yourself out by getting into your head that you will not be able to eat...if that were true, then you would also not be able to live. You will learn to enjoy new foods, and I think this is really the beginning of you and food, not the end.

You can't possibly have gone out and had that stuff the night before surgery. Your surgery would be cancelled, or if not, you may have experienced immense complications. I imagine you had a pre-op diet, and that you were able to indulge in those things immediately before starting it. As for myself, I went to a Brazilian Steakhouse and other fine establishments in the last few weeks before pre-op, and I am more than content as to how it went, and don't feel like I left anything on the table (literally or figuratively). I don't miss it today, and it's been a month and a half since surgery.
