i start my journey 4/4 i am nervous and excited which is feelings i am sure you have all felt. i made the decision to not tell many people i have not been able to share my feelings with pretty much anyone but my husband and best friend. my friend had it done 9 months ago with not one complication. my husband on the other hand is pretty clueless. i guess he will figure it when there is no dinner;-) . reading everyones

Nerves and some fear are a normal part of the process before any surgery or big life change. It will be okay. Come here to vent if you need to. That's why we're all here, to give and receive support to one another.

good luck!

I'll be right there with you through your journey!! I'm also April 4. I'm getting so nervous. I'm so tired during the day because I haven't been sleeping well at night. However, this is not the time I should be resting. I want to get a lot done before Wed. laundry, cleaning, grocery shopping, etc. I just feel like I have no energy to do anything. I, like you, have told very few people. I don't want to deal with negative reactions. Ultimately, this is my decision and I'm sticking to it

This is just the beginning!! We have an exciting journey ahead.

Good luck to you!! Can't wait to hear how you are doing postop!

I am schedule for the 10th....I am still drinking my protien shakes and water and some jello. I actually have energy! I think I just want this so bad I am not letting anything stop me.

Wish I had 1/2 of your energy right now. My emotions are all over the place! April 4 is coming really quickly.

Nervousness is normal!..i was a basketcase.....now I'm 3 weeks post and look back on surgery as so simple!..Very little pain,no complications at all!..I went to sleep and when I woke up it was done!...all those nights of worry were for nothing!..good luck to you! It will be over before you know it!

i need to hear that wed is coming fast. i am most nervous about how i will feel right after the surgery. tom i start just 2 days of liquids. not bad compared to others

I know, thank you! I think it's just the fear of the unknown, I guess. Plus, my daughter (she's 8) is becoming worried. I can feel it. She's stuck to me like glue...so that makes it harder for me.

My preop doesn't consist of liquids, but may do the two day liquid just to be sure all is good.

I am April 10 and today my emotions are better. My husband has been great! My kids are starting to ask more questions and aren't satisfied with my vague answers. Just need to get it over with and move forward to a better life!

Same here! Let's do it and move onto better things in life.

I am on the countdown to my sleeve, April 10th and starting to have the pre-sleeve jitters! Asking questions of myself like...Do I really know all the ins and outs of the operation and long term effect on my life (health wise)? Do I have realistic expectations (to have most weight off within a year?) Will I really use this tool to my benefit or will I be weak and undisciplined (like what got me here in the first place)? I keep thinking that even twenty pounds lost will feel so much better and allow me a bit more energy and desire to workout (starting immediately with walking). Well, thanks for sharing you post, it helps in these times!

Also, I have not told anyone but my husband (and only because I had to!). He is clueless also, but when I announced to him my decision I also stated I could not bare any negativity because this was a hard enough decision as is...he has said very little, but he is concerned.

i have been questioning it all day especially since i am on 2 day liquid diet. i feel like i should wake up thin. do you have to do any pre op dier. i was eatting my sugar free ice pop and my husband wanted one after he just ate pizza. after i told him it was sugar free he didn't want it this should be fun

I had my sleeve done March 29th and I was so nervous before. You are all having normal feelings. If u have come this far then u can go all the way. I did lots of praying. Good luck and God bless

Aren't husbands funny? (Sorry guys who are reading this!)

Really, I think it's just the non-surgery spouse who doesn't quite know what to say or what to do. My hubby said "I'll do the 2 week, 20 carb a day diet with you!" but he keeps forgetting and ordering mac and cheese and drinking milkshakes. I'm strong, though - people are going to drink milkshakes in front of me and that's their decision. My decision is to follow all the rules and kick some sleeve butt.
