Omg, yes! I was absolutely terrified of the same thing and I've had probably 10 surgeries.
I bawled in front of my family, PA, surgeon and the nurses. They were all so helpful and caring.
My suggestion is to ask if you can take some kind of anti-anxiety medication before surgery to help keep you relaxed. I should have asked if I could have done that myself.
Best wishes on your surgery, it is so worth it!💗

My surgery is Sept 9th and I’m so scared! Like I’m very excited to start this new beginning in my life but I’m also scared of dying and complications. I’ve never had surgery before. And yes I’m a little dramatic. Did anyone else have this problem? So super scared.

Thank you. And I keep reminding myself that. Which was why I was a little horrified when I slipped. I have been so very very on liquid. And I definitely want it to be safe. I’m just going to have to finish up quickly and get out of the room. Hoping this is easier after surgery

You’ll be fine, but remember you are doing the pre-op diet to shrink your liver and make your surgery safer. It’s super important

So I’ve been doing really well I am up today at day seven. Today. I have lost 16 lbs. Not really able to tolerate the Protein Shakes very well. But staying hydrated and drinking plenty of broth. But today I caved. I had one tater tot When making dinner for my family. Does anyone know if this would undo my vertical sleeve surgery? It’s not for another seven days so I’m hoping my body can flush it out. That’s been the hardest part other than the nasty shakes is making meals because I have children while still staying on liquid. I’m kind of beating myself up about it.

Write upon your heart that every day is the best day of the year.

Thank you for this information. I typically stick to some boards, but with the surgery being a week away from today i am venturing out. Very sound advice. I have a lot of reading to do.

Thanke you [emoji56]

Hi ,
So my surgery date is 30.August .
Tomorrow I'm starting with my two week pre op diet - and hopefully it won't be too much of a struggle
I'm from Sarajevo , Bosnia and Herzegovina
Here it is not usual or common to do bariatric surgeries and I have no support system or community - hopefully I'll find support here
I have been in this process for two years and it finally get to the end of it .

I agree with @catwoman7--the first days are the worst! Hang in there. Stay busy and drink busloads of Water, decaff black coffee, decaff green tea and your Protein Drinks. Also sugar free popsicles and a sf Jello per day.

Hi ,
I'm on my first pre op day and scared as hell weather I'll manage this .
My surgery is planned for 30.8.
I'm just two days behind you [emoji847]
I have a feeling that beginning won't be hard - first few days - but later on it will get difficult
Hopefully we will be successfull on this pre op journey

I agree with you ...
I felt better while watching and comforting my self - see you aren't so big ... you won't be like that ...
And there was a good side ...
I freaked out while watching - I don't want to be like this... not being able to walk , shower , or anything on my own .
Now , I don't watch it .
My surgery is coming soon - just 15 days [emoji27]

It’s taking some getting used to, but here goes only 25 days post-op (yes, counting days is something I didn’t used to do to lol)..
Drink daily (money spent on other things now)!
Buy food like I had a house full of Protein (just me and my daughter)
Eat out all the time (just because)
Yep..watch My 600lb Life and My Family Weighs a Tom!
Entertain stupid guys..just don’t
New Me (mentally and physically)!

Exactly what I’m aiming for!!!! Love that!!!
