Butterflies pre-surgery!

Thanks dragonlove!

I am having surgery Tuesday and am in the same boat. Ready nervous scared all in the same emotions. I also thought what if I chicken out. Highest weight for me was 275 and 238 now and am looking forward to wanting to exercise. Keep us posted prayers. 

Hi Carrion,

We're almost exactly the same in terms of weight. I started the six-month program weighing 280, and last week weighed 238 - will probably be about 235 or a bit less on surgery day. This is the only real surgery I've ever faced, other than having my tonsils out many, many years ago (if that even counts). After reading OH for a few months, I think I'm fine with what follows the surgery, but the surgery itself is the big stumbling block for me. Oh well, another 48 hours and I'll be in recovery - and for you, just a bit longer. Good luck to you - to both of us!!!

Being nervous is normal.  Before you know it you will be one the loser bench.  Just remember to sip, sip, sip.  And each day gets better and better.  Focus on the big picture.  I was so thankful after surgery that I didn't even have any nausea.  So i wish for you an uncomplicated and smooth post op period.  Congrats on your up coming life changing surgery:)

Thanks!
