Last day before the first day of our new lives!! How's everyone feeling?
....Nervous, excited, afraid ???
I'm a bundle of mixed emotions. More calm than I thought I would be but mostly excited to begin this new journey.

7:30 for me too

7:30 surgery for me! Check in at 6 am. I'm chugging G2. Never drank it before but I'm terrified of being dehydrated tomorrow morning and it goes down easier than Water. When I had my gall bladder out in March it took them eight tries to get the IV in and were almost going to have to do a "cut down" to start the fluids. I might be peeing all night but I don't care, hydrating until midnight!

I love that these forums help me to feel like I'm not alone.
Who else is getting sleeved June 30th?
I'd love to have surgery buddies to keep up with during the process.

I'm so ready to get this over with...I have been having this yucky taste in my mouth all day. I have to be there at 7:30 in the morning. Good luck everyone

I'm sorry to hear you are hurting so much that you are looking forward to anesthesia. But at least you know you get to get it over with really quick. I've gotta wait until 12:30. My nerves are gonna get bad by the time I finally get wheeled in. I wish it was early morning so I'd have less time to think about it. Wishing you the best! Hopefully the extra hydration from IV fluids will ease the headaches.

I wish it was only a headache! I have "dumping" from this special liquid I have to drink. Its main ingredient is high fructose corn Syrup, then sugar, then a boatload of Vitamins. It's a "surgery support" Meal Replacement. Totally not allowed after surgery, but I've had to drink five a day for three days. Two more boxes left and surgery tomorrow! I'm going to go in to this thing already dehydrated!

I am feeling so weak and headachy from the clear liquid diet that I am almost looking forward to the anesthesia to relive me of my misery! Haha just joking. I'm doing ok. I got the call that I need to be there at 6 Am tomorrow! means leaving the house at 5:15.

Here are my most recent before/after pics taken at 22 months post op.

MissKateE how are you doing? What are your stats!

hey everyone I was sleeved June 16th - 12 days post op

Started clears this morning. I'm tired of food so I'm ok so far! Looking forward to getting this done!!

Finishing the first of my three day liquid diet. I have to drink a special meal replacement that is full of sugar. It's not the post-op shake. Yuck. However, it's the only pre-op I have to do so I'll just suck it up. I'm a 33.3 BMI so no liver shrinkage necessary. I'm so excited about Tuesday!

I'm so ready to be there too! Please feel free to private message me or just post here if you want to talk or share how it goes. Your surgery is on my pre-op test day so I know my nervousness will really kick in that day. I'll be sure to say some prayers for you to have a super speedy recovery while I'm sitting around waiting for all my tests to be done that day. It will be certainly help my nerves to have your surgery to think about and pray for instead of my own during pre-op. Have you had any pre-op diet to follow? How much do you have to lose if you don't mind me asking?

I start my preop full liquid diet tomorrow... then clear liquids Sunday and monday. I wish everyone luck!!! I'm not sure how to friend on here but feel free I would like to keep up with everyone so we be of support to each other!!!

June 30th!!!! Five days out! Hang in there with the pre-op diets!

Surgery - 5 days away for me and counting. Pre-op diet is starting to feel better - Day 5, but can't wait to have something other than the nasty shake I'm taking. Love the popsicles and Jello

We are only 6 days out!!!!

My pre-op tests today were a chest X-ray, EKG, and blood draw. No big deal at all. I'm June 30th too. I have blood pressures of 175/95 and I'm having the surgery. That's partly why I'm having it! I've had a lot of surgeries and they always give a little something ahead of time to make me relax.

I'm having the sleeve on June 30. I'm only 3 days into the liquid diet and it's awful! I feel so low on energy. My stomach is constantly hungry. I have the worst headaches. I hope it gets better.
