I'm set up for February 4th. Seems like forever away. People keep telling me, "oh don't worry". It bugs me cause I'm not worried. What seems to keep popping in my head is, am I doing the right thing.

I would like to here what others are thinking, going through.

My Doctors plan is two days preop clear liquid, not 10 like I've been reading on here. Anyone else similar?

Thanks,

Kimo

Sbelle I'll see you there soon lol

I wasn't sleeved yet but a Call to the doc might be your best bet. Congrats to you and best of luck to your husband.

Three more days I'm really freaked!

He's not lactose intolerant and drinking a bunch of milk, is he? Could it be spit that's coming back up for some reason or a sinus infection maybe? Definitely give the surgeons office a call!

Good luck to everyone getting sleeved in the next couple days!!

Woot woot!!! Congrats!!

I'm getting sleeved Feb 20 the just a few days away. I'm starting to freak out, I have to admit I did cheat on the pre open diet and had a small sandwich on Friday I don't know what to do! Did I ruin everything? I am back on protein shakes, jello, tea, water and broth.

they only ask for you to do the best you can ! I think we have all cheated.. some worse than others and we still had the surgery

My surgery is also on Feb 25th. I've lost about 5lbs on the Preop diet. I started a week early. About 9lbs to go for my pre-surgery goal. Not going to make it but feel good about losing 44lbs on my own.

Good luck everyone!

That is soooo awesome. Congrats.

I don't have the support of my family they are in Florida I am in NY. My husbands family does not know I have not told them I don't want them to know because they are a bit negative I told a friend of the family who I thought would be supportive and was horrified by her response.

I regret telling her anything I ended up telling her I decided not to do it' date=' joined a gym and doing herbalife just to get her off my back.

I hate lying to people this is not me, I feel ashamed as if I'm doing something shameful. My sister and friends from Florida support me they will help me get through this. My husband is also my rock he is behind me.![/quote']

I understand about not telling people about having the surgery. I'm 5'6 and highest weight 205. I've lost and gained all my life. So people don't understand why I want to do this but I've come to realize it isn't for them to understand just for me to know its what's best for my life. This is a huge step for all of us towards a healthier happier life. I'm proud of all of us.

I was coughing up bloody phlem but that was normal from anesthesia. Otherwise I would call the Dr.

Woot woot!!! Congrats!!

Thank you.. I'm proud of myself.. New life here I come..
