Hey all! I'm new around these parts

My surgery is scheduled for January 7th and I was wondering if there are any others schedule for the big day in January 2013 ...?

You aren't alone! I'd say that I ate whatever I wanted for two weeks! I felt guilty at times' date=' but in a strange way it was good for me. By the night before my pre op diet I was over it. I was ready to eat healthy![/quote']

Me too! I was relieved when it was time to start my liquids two days before surgery. I had 5 days of 'freedom' to eat what I wanted but every time I would eat carbs they sat like a brick in my stomach. Totally wasn't worth it. I feel so much healthier without being weighted down.

So I am sleeved!! No real pain yet by far having babies is much harder.

How are you doing Keya? I was sleeved yesterday and am doing well. I'll be in hospital until Thursday afternoon which I really appreciate. I am able to sip crystal light and isopure. Keep us updated, and happy healing!

It's so exciting to hear the follow-up from everyone who has been sleeved recently! Makes me even more exited for mine. I can't believe that I'm only two weeks away!! I am a little worried because everyone around me has been sick and I have a sore throat. Really don't want to get sick this close to surgery.

Also, I have been nesting like crazy too! Cleaning like a madwoman and making sure everything is in it's place. I just don't want any extra stress when it comes to surgery and recovery.

I got my sleeve on Monday I have been home since yesterday around 3pm. I am not in much pain and getting enough liquid is about my only issue.

I am so excited. So excited to be on my journey. however I had concerned for my oldest who doesn't seem to be eating well for fear of settling my stomach off because I can't eat.

I was sleeved on Monday. Doing Great. if it continues this way... but probably not. I have so many things and times to remember, pills, walk, more pills. But it is worth every minute when I am so much smaller.

I get sleeved tomorrow. I have not been that nervous thus far, but now I am getting really scared. I keep thinking about what would happen to my babies if something happened to me. I know I shouldn't think like this, but I can't seem to relieve the anxiety. Those that are religious, please keep me in your prayers. thanks.

on a positive note, I got weighed at the doctor today and after 2 weeks of the pre-op diet, I have dropped 25 lbs at least that is a positive.

Im getting sleeved tomorrow too! I also have 2 babies and have had the same thoughts and fears! I have begun putting my fears in Gods hands.. I'm calm n confident now... I will be thinking and praying for you!

Mine's tomorrow! Everything is done with the exception of packing my bag. Going to go raid the fridge for a last (healthy) meal prior to 4:00 p.m. at which time I will convert to clear liquids then NPO after midnight. It's getting real! Sooooo nervous but so ready to lose the weight I gained after having my band removed. I just can't wait to get this part over with.

Surgery is expected to last for two hours, one to two hours in recovery then two days in the hospital.

Good luck to everyone!!!

Surgery tomorrow morning at 7:30 am! I can't believe how fast it went! Excited, nervous,scared,& any other emotion u can feel! Lol.. Best of luck to everyone else that is having it tomorrow! Everyone is in my prayers!
