I have to arrive at the hospital at 830a tomorrow. At least I will be able to send my kids off to school before I leave. I drank the magnesium about 3hrs ago and I've been shatting my brains out ever since. Gosh I pray that I will be able to sleep tonight and I haven't been able to trust a fart since drinking the magnesium :/

I am also having surgery tomorrow and drank the pico salax at 7..and have to drink another one at 6. How is is possible for a human being to have so much gunk inside them when they have been on liquids only for 4 weeks. I better be down 5 lbs tomorrow morning after all this lol. Will be thinking of u and all the other oct 2 sleevers. I check in at 930 pst

Don't!! I did the same. I would be great for like 3-4 days then just need something to chew. Don't fret it. Get back on track. It's funny, my first "cheat" was also taco meat with some sour cream. I lost 20 lbs on my pre op. just think..some people don't even go on a pre op and have food funerals up until the day of their op. just focus:)

I thought I was getting it easy and instead of one night I'll be in there for two nights

I was talking to the nurse advocate through BCBS and told them I was planning on being home on Friday after surgery Thursday. She said something along the lines of, "Uhm, probably Saturday at the earliest." :(

Don't beat yourself up! I did cheat although I do regret it. I'm down about 13 pounds.

My surgery is tomorrow, and I'm starting to get very nervous and anxious. I was not nervous like this for my Lapland. I'm very scared of complications.

Good luck with your surgery , it's norm to be nervous everything will be fine. I am scared to, and excited all at once.

I can say I am in more discomfort today than yesterday. I think in is because I was so drugged up. It is discomfort a nagging discomfort. I will be able to drink after leak test this morning. Whatever u do Do Not Forget Your Chapstick!!!!! That is the one thing I have used almost every hour. I am no hungry lol! It is a damn shame gotta get my stomach cut out not to feel that! Hope it continues. Thanks again and Good luck to the 10/2 Sleevers!!!

I was nervous too. I cried when I left my husband. I prayed to God because he knows my struggles and why I am doing this. I asked Him for His

Protective covering over me and the doctors. Once I did that I was more at peace.

Today is the day! So nervous and scared. Not so much for the surgery, I'm pretty confident I know what to expect. Surprisingly, I slept last night and could actually go back to sleep now. It's still all pretty surreal. Prayers for my fellow Octosleevers, especially all of my sleeve siblings also beginning their journey today! Will keep everyone posted on my progress! Woot!

      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.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      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!!
