Morning all! It's so bright and early for me because I haven't been getting enough sleep. I am so nervous about my surgery tomorrow! I'm doing the sleeve and also getting my gallbladder removed at the same time. I'm a bit worried about my pain tolerance . I lost 12lbs during the short period I was on my pre-op diet. Jeeze at one point I was a hungry lion in a den! but as my date kept getting closer I've took in about only 3 Optifast shakes and a lot of Water a day.. I know that's bad from the 5 shakes and 2 bars I was suppose to be taking in daily. But I built up a mentally to only eat when I'm hungry. So much is on my mind; how I am going to get in enough Protein, what exercise plan to do, the infamous LOOSE SKIN, not losing the weight............. yes i know, I'm in full blown anxiety mode with a little mixture of excitement. I would greatly appreciate all of your responses & feedback! Thanks.

Goodluck on your surgery!! Mine is tomorrow at 8 am! I am nervous myself!

Hi everyone! I hope all is well!! I've just finished going through a long battle with my insurance and finally after an appeal I got my approval for the gastric sleeve!! On Monday I meet with my doctor to pretty much start my 2 week Optifast pre-op diet. My official surgery date is July 3rd. I am so nervous... about.... everything! Yet I'm very excited at the same time. I'm mostly worried about the Optifast diet, I hope I dont chew my arm off! LOL .
