Just about all packed up, trying to keep my mind busy that way can try to keep the anxiety away wanna get this over with. Leave for Tijuana in the early am tommorrow my daughter and boyfriend will be going with me which will help keep my mind off me.

Started pre-op today, my bmi is 42 so they told me to do a 10 day preop. I am already dying.....this is HARD!!

Only being able to have a shake for breakfast and lunch is harder than I thought.

it got easier for me after first couple of days, just tried to keep really busy and drink water.

Way to go! Im so excited for you. I leave on Sunday myself, and wish it was tomorrow. These last couple days I think are the longest.. Good luck with everything!

Who all is having surgery next week? I leave Sunday for surgery Monday and have been having anxiety attacks. I'm getting nervous, can't wait for the surgery to be over and to be back home. I know it'll be worth it in the end it's just the day prior to surgery and surgery day that make me the most nervous! What's everyone doing (or have done) to remain calm in those final days?

I leave Tues for surgery Wed. Im a wreck! My bf was too busy doing laundry to come help me do yard work & get my house ready, my other male friend was too hungover to help me & my gf keeps making jokes that hit me wrong & when I asked her to stop or tone them down because I'm extremely sensitive right now she got upset told me to not take it that way. So my support system is non-existent now. I feel like I'm in this alone..mom never even considered going with me. I guess if anything, I got God & you all! Hugs to those needing it right now!

The VST Mexi-Sleevers are here for you! Don't let others get you down. You have no control over their actions/reactions. Focus on what you can control... And what you are finally able to take control of with this journey! Best of luck and a safe surgery!!

Most of my friends and family are neutral but some feel it is their duty to inform me of their opinions. We are all here for you, girl.. Don't let them get you down.

I will be posting updates like crazy!
