@ I was worried about that for myself as well. Fortunately I started on tues and ended Saturday! That's thing last the we need right now Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

@@sarahb309 I was told that I could only have Clear liquids and the Soup is clear so I think that is a good option for myself. I am gonna strain the soup before I eat it though. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Hey everyone, OMG we are finally here and tomorrow will be our big day! I went to work this morning but left early because my nerves were too bad to work, plus i have a ton of things to do at home to prepare. I came home and packed my hospital bag and my kids bag for their stay at my parents house while I am gone. I am kinda hungry this morning on the clear liquid diet, but I dont even care I am so excited! @ did they call you with your surgery time yet? Good luck everyone and have a good day!!

Congrats!!

@omnica That is so funny about the strawberries because I had similar feelings about other food that was in my fridge, haha. I am on the Clear Liquids for two days also. My dr. also required that I drink a bottle of magnesium citrate for bowel prep today as well. I drank it at 10am and I feel so queezy! Bless my heart, I am ready for these two days to be over. We are almost there!

My surgery is scheduled for 630am, so i'm sure that I wont sleep either.

@ I wasnt required to lose any weight prior to surgery....hmm i wonder if that is just surgeon preference. Nevertheless I am ready and super excited! @Lindsey Skinner Abbott @Hannahb3997 Congrats ladies we will be on this journey together!! Are you ready?

@onmica I am so ready for this surgery! I dont know what i am ready for the most, being off work or having the surgery... haha just kidding, the surgery trumps being off work although I am looking forward to both! I am just praying that everything goes well and the weight falls off. This pre op diet has my mind flipping, but I am getting use to it.

@onmica Hey there how have you been doing? Are you getting nervous since our big day is just around the corner?

@ChooChi73 wow, tomorrow is your big day!! How do you feel? I am so tired of people telling me that I am not big enough to have WLS! How big do you have to be for people to be happy for you and the fact that you want to take preventative measures that will prevent further weight gain and assist me in finally being successful in getting this weight off? I am 38, 5 '3" and 246 lbs, I wear size 18/20 pants and 2xl tops. I think that is large enough, right? I am on the pre op diet right now and it is driving me crazy, like i am getting headaches from my sugar withdrawals. I am not hungry, but the headache just wont go away. How is everyone else doing? @onmica

I am happy to hear that everything went well. Get your rest and keep us updated with your progress!!

Best of luck to you!!

Thanks @@jane13 because I have certainly been in mourning, haha! @ yes, I am having a difficult time sleeping because I am so anxious! Although I am anxious, I know that I want this and that is a fact! I don't have anything prepared other than child care arrangements for my two kids, ages 1 and 4. Yesterday I went to the grocery store to shop for my pre-op diet. Tonight I am gonna go out to eat Mexican and have a much needed margarita!

Good Morning Onmica, I am also having my sleeve on 5/24. I am so excited and nervous at the same time. I start my pre op diet tomorrow, which is also creepy because the surgery date is getting closer and closer. I am happy to get surgery, but nervous about saying goodbye to the foods I enjoy the most. Today I will have my farewell meal and then I will be on my journey to finally losing this weight! Good luck to you!

I'm praying for you! Keep us updated. I am so excited for you!

Good Morning losingtheselumps, I am scheduled for my surgery on 5/24/16, so I don't have the answers to your questions yet, but I do have some of the same concerns. I must say that you have brought laughter to my early morning today and thanks for that because your questions were so funny to me although serious at the same time. Good luck dear and have a good day!!!

You can do it!!!
