The countdown is on! I am less than 24 hrs from becoming sleeved. Had a dream last night that the surgeon came to talk to me and asked if I was ready. I said yes without any reservation. I'm taking that as a good sign that I am : ) this day can go either way, very long or very short. Either way tomorrow at 8 am it is. Again I am so thankful for this site and all the information that has been posted. I feel less anxious. Wish me luck!

Totally agree. I'm getting sleeved tomorrow too. Today has been the "get things in order" day. Cleaning, doing laundry and other stuff. As I know sure as the sun rises and sets my hubby won't be able to do everything , so I have given him a headstart. No dirty clothes or dishes. Floors swept and mopped. Clean everything. So he can do other things and not worry about all of that. He decided to take two weeks off with me. So he will be my nurse for a few days. LOL.....Today so far for me has been very productive. Good Luck to us all.:D

Aw that is so sweet of your husband. Mine is taking off tomorrow and Tuesday. I have been getting things done for 2 weeks like cleaning out the garage food shopping for the family ordered and received my Protein packets Vitamins, etc.....laundry yesterday. My oldest child is home for spring break so he will be able to help me if I need him. At least that is what I am counting on. Lol. Where are you having your surgery done? I am 8 am also

I'm having my surgery done in Ocala, Fla. At Ocala Regional Medical Center. My Doc is Dr. Jawad. I'm scheduled for 7:00 am but have to figure in last minute things. So maybe like 8:00 or 8:30 am. Give or take. He is more excited than I am I believe. LOL....

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
