I am less than a week away from being sleeved...OMG!!! I'm so nervous right now!!! I had to tell my students that I won't be here for their finals... they want to know why... I told them I'm going to the hospital and they are a little freaked out!! Nice to know that they care, after complaining about me being hard on them all the time...

The first day of the liquid diet was so HARD... I had a headache and I was little grouchy.... but, I do believe it all will be worth it!!!

I've made my list for my hospital bag, my groceries for the next month and the books I'm going to read!

I'm also going to go buy new sneakers, get my hair, toes and eyebrows done!! (Gotta look cute for my visitors!!)

My BF who will be at the hospital w/ me has the list of folx to call/text when I'm out of surgery and I'm praying she doesn't hide my laptop and cell phone... she's threatened as much... So, I'm going to try and be really good!! LOL...

I know being nervous is normal, but OMG... I have 203 million things running through my head!!!! How do I make it STOP??!!!??!!

i'm so excited for you. i read all the replies sent to you and their advice was great. my surgeon was dr. zane at kaiser permanante, harbor city, ca...the best surgeon ever!

i love kaiser's 12week pre-operation options program. they gave me so much pre and post operation info plus starting me on protein drinks to give my body a better success advantage.

my date was dec. 6,2011. i'm 1 week out and having a hard time getting those 64 oz. of fluid in. one thing i can tell you, i'm not hungry. i have to remember to eat, (or should i say drink?)

you have a good, positive attitude and a wonderful support system. i know you wiil have much success.

good luck
