Best of luck to you! So exciting. I'm a bit behind you, sched June 25. I am consumed with my thoughts as well. This site and members posts have helped answer and raise a few questions for me. I'm trying to prepare mentally and physically. Looking forward to your updates.

I am June 15th and scared to death for some reason. I have been wanting this for so long and now it has come and I am scared. Silly I know.

...feeling similarly. I'm June 25. Glad we have support.

I spent an hour on the gazelle this morning before my chocolate shake with Fiber (thank goodness only one more of those left for tomorrow) lunch & dinner is strawberry. ...Hahaha after 13 days of no food but 3 shakes a day and I think I eeked in 2 sugar-free popsicles and a whole ton of Water, I think i'm doing fine.

I actually haven't dreamed about surgery yet at all. I'm not scared or excited yet. I'm just me. I do miss my Vitamins which I haven't been allowed to take in a week. Yesterday was the first day I got a cramp in my leg, but I worked out and did a whole ton of chores and shopping and I think I may have gotten a bit dehydrated though I had about 75 ounces of Water.< /p>

I spent my time the last few weeks staying busy, I cleaned cabinets, closets, packed away old clothes brought out old clothes, literally caught up on all laundry. Yesterday I did my grocery shopping, got all my prescriptions filled and have them ready for the next two weeks, I homemade my laundry detergent, set up bill pay for all my bills due this week. I have dinner list made up for the family for the next two weeks and have a shopping list for things that we will need picked up that we will run out of like (bread) & milk for the family.

Today I vacuum, dust, wash floors, shave legs (already did eyebrows & hair color).

I got my bags packed almost.

Have Lip Balm, Box of Charmine Wipes, New Toothbrush, toothpaste, Bottle of biotene mouth wash, cloth hair bands to put my hair back, brush, bought a small fan for the hospital room, have new crocs for walking the halls, kindle & charger ready to go, a hug pillow, a soft & squishy throw blanket that is comforting and smells like Downy, a robe to cover my butt, Can of Lysol (i know it's a hospital but I'm ocd and will want the bathroom sprayed) 2 rolls of Charmin Toilet paper (I don't like sandpaper) A & D Ointment in case...well you know I hate my booty to hurt if I have to go too much. I have a binder with all the instructions from the doctor, including my wrist band that has my type & screen on it, my sheet of paper that I need to mark to keep track of liquids for Tuesday, Wed & Thursday, a Pen. Nail Polish for my toes, I'm sure I can con my mom into doing it for me. Spirometer packed and ready (given to me in advance to take with )

I already have Isopure at home and plenty of water at home for me. Long body pillow to use between my husband and me which will help me to get in and out bed easier. I made my follow-up appointment to get my drain out on the 13th.

Tomorrow get up have the stupid chocolate fiber - 2 more strawberries shakes for the day, I will work out and cook dinner for the family then we are asked to wash our bedding and have fresh linen before bed and take a shower right before bed and wash with a special soap that's suppose to be quite drying.

Monday Morning I have to wash with another bottle of the special soap and be at the hospital at 10:00am unless I receive a call Sunday night.

I'm ready...I think.

MinaT, I am so excited for you! Sounds like you're prepared! I hope you do well. Please let us know that you're okay, when you feel up to it.

Good morning

I slept a lot yesterday. Used the restroom a lot all night. Everytime I got up I would feel so nauseous and start dry heaving. At about 6am they have me some zofran for the nausea which helped so much. The nurses are so nice. This morning I go for an xray to check for leaks. Everything else is going pretty smoothly. Not alot of gas pain or stomach pain. Got lucky. I think it was all due to your guys' prayers. Thanks soooo much for that. Talk to you all soon. <3 Vee

Thank you for the update, it's good to hear from a June sleever. Glad to hear that you're doing so well and thank heavens for Zofran! I can't believe it's June already, it felt like forever getting here! Now I'm having butterflies and I still have 23 days to go. I'm gonna make myself a nervous wreck...

Amazing transformation! Congratulations! You have obviously worked very hard for your acheivements. Thank you so much for sharing your progress, it is very inspirational. As I face my own upcoming challenges, I'm experiencing twinges of fear and doubt. Your post makes me a little feel more comfortable with my decision to have VSG. Thanks again for "putting yourself out there".

Best wishes for a speedy recovery!

Good luck to you! You have many people thinking of you and you have your own cheering squad here! I am just a little behind you. I start full liquids on June 11 and sleeve sched on June 25. Its so inspiring to see everyone's journeys, thanks for sharing yours.

@MinaT - Thanks for sharing, sounds like good advice. May have to find a way to "ear mark" it for myself, I'll definatley need it in two weeks.

Monday June 25, 2012 is my "rebirthday". I am excited, anxious and nervous.
