Got the call today, I am getting my sleeve December 19th! I am excited scared, and shaking with joy all at once. I start the pre=op diet today. I was thinking I wouldn't go to after the holidays. but getter to get it done and stop worring about the holiday eating. Any prayers are welcome especially on surgery day.

Thanks.

Rebecca

My date is the 19th also. I've gone through being elated, scared, nauseous, sad and excited. I started my pre-op diet today. Someone was eating in my office. The delicious smell of the food made me realize what I would be giving up. I got really sad because it hit me that I was saying goodbye to my good friend FOOD. I just have to trust that what I'll get in return (better health, slimmer body) will more than make up for ending my dependancy on my friend FOOD. I'm sure I will be sad for a while until I accept that my dependancy is gone. Sniff-sniff!

I understand what you are saying, I had a hard time making dinner for the family. I wanted to lick the spoon so bad. Food has always been my friend and comfort. Now food is the enemy and it causes me to be inside a body that causes me hardship and discomfort. I have been kind of praying in my head for the strength to be strong. Make me diligent so that my liver shrinks and makes the surgeons got easier. Feel free to vent when you need. I will listen and vent in return
