Me too, Debbie. I just want to get through this next part. It seems like the responses to surgery are all over the place. For some it is a breeze. For others it is more of a challenge. Hoping for the former rather than the later.

Thank you so much for posting your experience a "senior". I am 57 and being sleeved on Tuesday. Having a bit of pre surgery nerves.

Oh yes. Every day I think what the h*** am I doing. How the heck did I get here. Trying not to second guess and just take one day at a time. Surgery is one week from today. Hang in there.

I'm scheduled for the 23 as well. Ready to finish the pre-op and enter the next phase of the journey.

What type/brand protein drinks did you use. It it change pre & post op?

Well, 1 week from today a was scheduled for surgery so I could say I'm 1/2 way there. Then I get a phone call pushing my surgery to Tuesday. Trying to keep a positive outlook but daggone it.

I am on day 5 of the pre-op diet and am experiencing the same emotions as all of you. Why do I have to risk my life having this surgery. I try to focus on the fact that, if I don't have surgery, I will progressively have more & more health issues. Trying to keep my eyes on the prize. Surgery 6/22. Keep posting fellow sleevers. It is so much help.

Congratulations. I know you are relieved that the surgery is over. Keep us posted. Mine is 6/22.

I just met with my surgeon for the last time before my surgery on June 22. I don't have to be at the hospital until 12 for a 2:30 surgery. I will be a wreck by then. Signing the paperwork made it real. I know I am doing the right thing but reading all that could happen is scary.

I too am struggling with who to tell. The biggest decision is whether to tell my mother. She has always been my biggest critic regarding my weight but, I know if I tell her, she will just say "you don't have to do that. You just need to quit eating so damn much." So depressing.

I am on a very similar schedule & I understand exactly what you are saying. I started my pre-op on the 8 with my surgery scheduled for 6 /22. Besides making sure I am eating the right things I keep second guessing myself. I know that I have battled this all my life and have tried everything else. I just want to get through the surgery and on with my life. I am also struggling with who I want to tell.
