Hello everyone. I am new to this site and will be having my sleeve on 10/29. Im excited and nervous but know God will bring me through. I want to connect with people who are going through what I am.

Hey I'm October 29 as well! Very nervous yet excited. Good luck with everything.

Hi simplybirdie, I know exactly what you mean. I'm nervous & excited to. I didn't realize all the emotions this could involve. Good luck to you as well. I will say a lil prayer for both of us.

Thank you! Same here.

30 days away girls! As nervous as I am getting, I'm excited! As it gets closer and closer I start to become a nervous wreck! I won't sleep the night before surgery either.

Yes! It's getting closer and closer. I'm nervous yet getting more excited at the same time. lol I already can't sleep now so the night of surgery forget about it lol.

October 29th, also! I'm encountering my first milestone tomorrow -- the start of the two-week Clear liquids and Protein shake Liver Shrinking Diet (I'm calling it my LSD, because I might get a little crazy). I'm trying to focus on schoolwork, cleaning the apartment and meditation. Okay so the meditation isn't going great but Netflix had a documentary about the Buddha.

Anyone else worried about maintaining a similar heightened state of distraction until the surgery?

I am also Oct 29th and so nervous! Have done well this week on my pre-op diet but don't feel very well--headaches and body aches, presumably from the withdrawal of all the foods I used to eat! My pre op diet allows for breakfast of an egg and whole grain toast, then a protien shake for lunch, then a serving I protein and a green veggie for dinner...much less restrictive than I have seen others....I go for my pre-op at the hospital on Tuesday!
