I'm about 3 weeks out and I'm totally exhausted all day. I know I'm dehydrated because I can't drink much at all especially Water. No matter the temperature of the water it makes my stomach cramp. I'm no where near getting 60gms of Protein in. Nothing taste good especially Protein Drinks. UGH!!!

Just got my check in time of 5:30am...wow I guess its time to get this done.

Show time! The anticipation is so much worse than the surgery. By this time tomorrow it will be behind you and the miracle journey begins. Have a speedy recovery and let us know how you're doing! Walk, walk, walk!

I also have esophagus issues that was discovered during the endoscopy. I am no longer a candidate for the sleeve and will be having the gastric bypass in less than 2 weeks. Good luck with your surgery.

When I had my bypass in 2010 I was not nervous at all. I was so ready. when I had my revision on the 22nd of June I was fine until they put me in the OR waiting area. That was when I started getting scared. I just prayed and prayed plus had a stern talk with myself that everything would come out fine.
You will be fine,

A better question would probably be is there anyone who wasn't nervous or apprehensive as their surgery date got closer! LOL. Perfectly normal. I'd be more worried if I wasn't nervous or apprehensive. I remember how scared I was like it was five minutes ago. But...I also remember laughing at myself after the surgery when I realized how absolutely none of those terrible things I imagined pre-op ever came to pass! You're going to be fine and you're gonna love the new you!!

Thanks for all the encouraging words. I'm going to have another stern talk with myself and pray that God gives me peace through all this.
