Great going! You got this iamready4this

Happy times! Mine is tomorrow too at 9am. iamready4this

Wow its tomorrow! I started this journey last December. Has been a long bumpy road. I have butterflies in my stomach. I didn't sleep well at all last night because I am nervous, anxious and happy. A lot of emotions going on at once. I am packed. I just have to pack my cpap machine & pillows in the morning. I am ready iamready4this

Mine is this coming Monday July 17. iamready4this

I do the same thing. I read whats in my timeline and forget that its the sleeve. No problem because even though my procedure is different from yours its always a great thing to be inspired by what others post. I appreciate that! I was weak in the first 3 days of my pre op but it has gotten better. Yes! I am so nervous. I will finish washing clothes & my bed linen today. I dont want any laundry pile up lol Wow just a few days more iamready4this

Thank you so much for that. My surgery is Monday @7:30. So I am doing last minute stuff. Great yours is Tuesday! I am still pushing through on my pre op. How have you been doing on yours? We are almost there iamready4this

There have been many distractions lately popping up. I feel like I am being tested. My surgery is next week and for the past few days there has been distractions that I wish not to be around. My pre op diet is going well I am down 21 pounds so I feel solid with that but this extra stuff right before surgery I wished it could have missed me. I know God has a plan for me & I know he wants me healthy. I know he wont give us more than we can handle. I got to stay strong & lean on him. Also, you know how you feel regret about a situation when you may have not been your best.Well I got some of that going on too. Again out of the blue distractions. Thats how they come. So, I guess I am very sensitive about going through it now being that my surgery is right around the corner and I rather just have that on my mind only... So, I will just continue reading Gods word & allow his word to build me up & my strength... Thanks for reading iamready4this

I have seen many of his videos and he is so very informative! He provides a wide range of education on our new lifestyle iamready4this

I feel for you. I almost had a similar situation. I really dont have high blood pressure but with me gaining more and more weight it caused my blood pressure to rise. So 2 months ago I was at my surgeons office and my blood pressure concerned him and he looked worried. He didnt have an answer for it but I can tell he was concerned. So I got anxious about it and called my primary doctor if I could come in to discuss it. She took it and it was high actually too high for my surgeon to operate on me. I was so upset. She stated that she could not yet put me on any blood pressure meds because she wanted me to come in the next day to repeat it and see if it goes down. I did and it was still high. Then I was like freaking out that my surgeon would see her notes about my high blood pressure and would want to reschedule my surgery. I thought of ways that I could do to lower it . I bought a new blood pressure machine to monitor it. I started to get headaches and I was like there was nothing new going on with me outside of me being at my heaviest. I noticed I felt tired and my lips seemed to be chapped more often than before. I was like am I dehydrated??? Does your blood pressure rise or becomes high if you're dehydrated?? Well what happened was that seemed to be the case. I was taking in too much water and not enough sodium so when I kept drinking water with a very low sodium diet the water in my case acted like a diuretic. Thats weird but it seemed to be the case for me in this regards. So I started adding one cup of turkey broth to my pre pre op diet. Seems it brought my blood pressure down to where its no longer a threat against my surgery. So in my situation. I was only drinking water. No gaterade No propel just water and was on very low sodium... This was not a good thing for me. So now turkey broth is my new friend. So hang in there! Its best to be safe. You got this. Your day is coming. Good luck to you iamready4this

Good luck to you mine is next Monday iamready4this
