So, tomorrow morning I will be having my Gastric Sleeve surgery. I am feeling all sorts of emotions, which I think is normal. I almost started crying at the grocery store a few days ago because I couldn't have pretty much anything they had. I was ready to cancel my surgery and have a sandwich! I calmed myself down and got myself back on track. I am proud to say I did not have a sandwich, I have followed a liquid only diet FAITHFULLY for 10 days and have lost 13 pounds. I have a great support system, and am looking forward to being able to fit into clothes that are not plus sized! Oh, man...don't think I'll be able to sleep tonight!

I, too, just started my 10 day pre-op liquid diet today. I haven't had any issues, just waiting for the headaches and everything else that goes along with not eating anything, and getting rid of all the unhealthy, fattening stuff I was putting into my body. WE CAN DO THIS!!

I am on day 4 of the pre-op liquid diet. I hadn't really gone much the past few days, but today my stomache started hurting and I had to go. Not only is it the Protein shakes, but I think also just the shock to oyur body from going from eating to just liquids.

Ok, so I was originally scheduled for October 20th, but now they moved it to October 13th! I am feeling every singe emotion there is out there. I am more excited than anything, but also scared, nervous, anxious...EVERYTHING! I almost cried today making a cup of pumpkin coffee, thinking about how I won't be able to have it for a long time. I am so ready to give up a lot of foods, as my eating of them in large quantities is what got me to this point.
I have a super supportive husband, which is helping me out a lot. Just so many emotions!

So, after over 6 months of testing, consults, and waiting, I am finally finished and am waiting for approval from my insurance company. As long as they approve me, which I can't see why they wouldn't, I will be having my sleeve done on October 20th. People have been asking me if I am excited, or scared, or nervous...and to that, I answer "YES"! It's amazing the amount of emotions I am going through. One thing I can say is that I have an awesome support system, which starts with my husband. He is the one that politely suggested the surgery. Not because he thinks I am fat, but because he is tired of seeing me so depressed all of the time. He feels helpless, like no matter what he says or does, I will still be sad.
Well, the time is almost here, and I am more excited than anything to start this new life!
