Hello and welcome! I'm being sleeved on the 6th and the anxiety and fears are creeping in for me too. I'm going through the 2 week pre-op diet right now and when I ask myself why I am doing this to myself (a few times especially when I want "real food") I just keep reminding myself that I am doing this to be there longer for my daughter and to grow old with my husband. We can do this!

Congrats and welcome!

Yaay! Congrats!

I feel like the month is flying by but I may feel differently once I start my 2 week liquid diet next week.

I'm also struggling with the fears too as my date gets closer. I just keep reminding myself why I am doing this and it sounds like it's the same reason for you too-to live a better life and actually live it and not be held back by our weight. We are so close we can do this

Glad to hear that you are doing well!
