Hi all, I ended up hang hiated hernia repaired as well. Pretty drowsy most of time. Water isn't going down too good. Deluded apple juice is giving me heartburn. 1 more day in hosp. Lori

Thank you for the boost! Surgery is tomorrow at 10am for me. Lori

Thank you allibaba. I'm not afraid of the surgery or the pain but the hard work afterwards and all the "what if's" However...I was reminded yesterday the quote, "don't let the fear of failure keep you from trying" I once thought my life was over and over came it. I just need to remember the WILL is still there. I do struggle with the thought if I have the will to do the sleeve surgery and all the post surgery stuff, I question why can't I lose my weight on my own. Either way, no one said it would be easy.

Good for you! Good luck on recovery, and cheers to your new beginning! Lori

I just wrote something similar last night. I think we have to keep in mind that we are reducing calories, it messes with our emotions. If you notice you have ups and downs. My surgery is this Wed. and I was doubting my decision to have surgery. In the end I think I will be greatly disappointed if I pass on this. Hang in there and listen to the ones who have done it. I have to have faith they know more than we do. At the same time I have to own up to my part in the food intake. Good luck in surgery Sent from my SM-G900V using the BariatricPal App

Yes, Wednesday. I am on my 10th day of the liquid diet before surgery. Anxious to move forward. Here patients are required to do 14 days. Good luck everyone! Sent from my SM-G900V using the BariatricPal App

Thank you Gibbs girl, Melyssa & kindafamiliar. I think maybe lack of food during this preoperative 2 week part is messing with my head. I appreciate your responses. Sent from my SM-G900V using the BariatricPal App Good luck melyssa! Sent from my SM-G900V using the BariatricPal App

I am set to have surgery on Wednesday the 30th. I am contemplating backing out. I am starting in to doubt myself if this is the right decision. I have been on a liquid diet for almost 2 weeks and it's difficult. I cheated and had some easter chocolate. I'm afraid of failing at this surgery commitment. I'm afraid I will and hear a bunch of family say "told you so" because we hear often times people put the weight back on. Has anyone here backed out at the last minute?
