So, this evening, after a fun filled karaoke event sponsored by my vocal ensemble at school, I rushed out to my pre-op class (after singing Proud Mary for 8 minutes!!)... Got there and got lots of info.. Including that fact that my surgeon has decided NOT to perform surgeries after Christmas like I was told he would back in October.. UGH!! So, I was preparing like I would be sleeved Dec. 26.. WELL, looks like I've be sleeved a week from Monday, Dec. 19th, if my insurance approval comes through early next week (I'm believing it will) COME ON BCBS-IL!!! This would mean that this weekend marks the last days of a regular diet and decreasing the time I have to prepare final exams, grades and lesson plans for my students!!! (I'm taking the month of January off of work!!) I have to tell my admin that I may be leaving a week earlier than initially planned..

I'm excited, but also a little anxious because things are happening so fast...I don't feel like I'm ready!!! I'm also in the middle of a refi, small remodel and purchasing furniture!! LOL.. CRAZY time!! I'm hopeful that everything will fall into place and I will be home for Christmas, sipping on some broth, enjoying Sleevus (my sleeve's name) and watching Miracle on 34th Street!!!!

I have to get to the store and finish purchasing my broths, Protein drinks and last minute items.. OMG! I need all of the prayers and good thoughts I can get..

You're that much closer!! Good luck to you! I know you can't wait!!

Oh my goodness!!! I'm the kind of person who doesn't need a lot of notice for major stuff.. because I freak out!! LOL... but, I'm ready for this... I'm just trying to take it one day at a time... but... OH LORDY, I wish it would happen already!!!

GOOD FOR U!!!! I'M BEING SLEEVED ON DEC.20TH. I'M ON DAY 3 OF PRE-OP DIET SO FAR SO GOOD. I JUST KEEP LOOKING AT FOOD THINKING "OK I'LL HAVE SOME", BUT I SUDDENLY REMEMBER AND SAY TO MYSELF "GIRL U CAN'T EAT THAT GO DRINK SOME WATER" LOL

I'm grateful I only have a 7 day pre-op diet... UGH!!! GEEZ!!!

I'm grateful I only have a 7 day pre-op diet... UGH!!! GEEZ!!!

My nurse/pt. coord. told me to have my last drink today, got my Mirena taken out yesterday, I have to drink 2 protein/meal replacement drinks per meal, water, broth, sf popsicles, whatever flavoring I want to put in my water... I can't STAND sf stuff.. it has an aftertaste and most times are too sweet.. so, I have to plan the next 5 weeks of my life to a tee (pre-op, 2 wk clear liq, 2 wk full liq)

i know what taste youre talking about. lol. it doesnt bother me too much but its def not my fav! lol. i just cant wait to be sleeved! i dont feel mentally prepared whatsoever but i feel that no one really is... im scared about foods cuz ima very picky eater but im diving HEAD 1st & gonna deal with what comes after.

scary stuff but i know if i dont do it now, ill never do it.
