Bypass Eve

[The 147]

I'm heading for the hospital in the morning. I have to admit I'm incredibly nervous. Being postponed by two weeks has shaken me and I occasionally think the worst.

That said if things go well, and of course the odds are they will, I feel fired up and ready. The pre-op diet has been brilliant. The postponement meant I've been on it for four weeks and I've lost 30-odd pounds. I started a couple of weeks early and have never deviated and hardly craved - I think my head's in the right place.

That said the anxiety is exhausting - I want to get to sleep, get in there and move on to the next stage of my journey.

Congrats on saying goodbye to the 300's!! You should never see them again, as long as you wait at least a week to weigh yourself postop

Fingers crossed for luck!!

Looking forward to hearing how your surgery went. The good news is you will never be the same, in a very positive way. Will pray for quick recovery and healing

Thank you so much all for your thoughts and prayers. So, here's the score...

I feel amazing, I came back to my room 3 or 4 hours ago and I feel fantastic. Oxygen's gently wafting up my nose and my legs are alternately popping and inflating in an oddly relaxing rhythm.

I don't feel any pain worth mentioning, at the most I think you could say I'm 'aware' of where the incisions were made. I'm sat upright and about to take my first walk - I really can't wait to get on my feet.

Given everything I've read I'm surprised how easy constant little sips of Water are - I've probably (I can't see the record from here) got through 400ml so far).

Best of all given the almost imperceptibly rising level of anxiety that's accompanied me these last weeks I just feel a tremendous sense of relaxation and wellbeing - I feel like ordering a club sandwich and a massage from room service... ooooops!

Man, they have you on some good stuff! Once some of the pain meds wear off, you may be a tad more uncomfortable, but it sounds like you are doing stellar!! Congrats on getting to the other side (in a good way!).
