IKR , I had a break dn of course food is my weakness I will be stronger I hope tks for the support

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:)

And when I said don't!! I meant don't feel like a dumbass lol

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."

And when I said don't!! I meant don't feel like a dumbass lol

Well I am we'll paying for the taco meat after 4 days of liquid the taco meat is not settling well tummy ache and toilet time the liquids are kicking in

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!!!

Thanks so much for sharing. I'm on preop and getting nervous. Sounds like you're doing very well. Prayers for continued healing!

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!

It's 530 am here and I've been up and down all night. Nerves have really kicked into high gear. I will be thinking and praying for everyone getting sleeved today and I pray for myself after admission. See u all on the other side

It is so awesome to heat everyone's story as they get to the summit of their journey. It makes me that much more excited. Day 2 of travelling for me. I didn't cheat on my pre-op diet yesterday. Today they want to take me out to lunch. I really don't want to have to explain to strangers that I am supposed to have a protein shake for lunch! So I figure I will at least try to get a salad - no dressing.
