Its coming up quick! Going to pre op class this Wednesday.

Hi everyone one!! I have been checking this page out for a while!! I to am being sleeved on the 19th! I'm super excited yet very nervous!! I also was doing so great on the liquid diet then bam I went to panera with my mom had salad and French onion soup and was so so sick! Then I cheated today! You would think I would have learned!! I'm so over food! I'm ready for it to not run my life anymore!!! We are almost to our brand new birthdays!! Wishing everyone great luck!!

hello! how are you doing? I've been on the same boat I continue to keep messing up but as much as I mess up,the harder I get up and try. Don't give up...I know exactly what your dealing with. we are almost there. My surgery is March 19th too. GOOD LUCK!!!!

So I am on the 13th day of a liquid diet, and while cooking dinner for the hubby I was tempted to lick the pan... If it wasn't that my hubby was looking at me I probably would have done it... Lol

Thought I'd share.

Thank all of you for replying. I too am nervous. However, I have been strangely calm today. I have been cleaning my house top to bottom. I am having "the last supper", 2 pieces of salmon with lettuce and olive oil and vinegar for dressing. I better make it count lol. Guys, we are gonna be just fine. I will pray for us tonight. I am just trying to stay positive if I can make it through the IV then I can make it through the rest lol. Just think of how skinny we are gonna be! Good Luck and May God be with you.

Wish it would just get here already. I will be sleeved the 18th. On Clear liquids 2nd day. Amazing I am just getting hungry now. I will try to post after Tom.

I am scheduled for the 19th as well. Conflicting thoughts today but I know it is just nerves. Just really looking forward to Wednesday when it is all over and I am back home.

I wish all the 18th of March sleevers a smooth operation and recovery. I'm the 19th and I'm having chest pains, think they're from my anxiety over the surgery... Debating on writing my beautiful daughter a letter...???

Leaving out tomorrow. Heading to San Diego

It will be ok

It will be ok

I hope so. Thx for the encouragement because I need it at this point

DeeJack, we all need encouragement to go through with this elective surgery. We need the surgery but its scary. We have loved ones that need us. But it's hard to be there for them when we are unhealthy. Just pray, pray, pray! We will be ok. :-)

Thanks. It will. Can't believe the big day is tomorrow

Today is, Day before surgery!!! My brain is in overdrive! Good luck and prayers going out to all pre op, post op & tomorrow ops I'm holding my daughters tighter today and loving them and my family with every ounce of myself. Everything has to be perfect between us all, because I don't want regrets. I wrote letters to my daughters too. I know the surgery will go fine and I'll be perfectly fine because of this surgery but are any of you being a nut job like me today? I read on this topic yesterday that someone said something like, "as long as the IV gets done it'll be smooth sailing". OMG, I been thinking of the IV constantly AND when they come constantly to draw blood...I am such a chicken! I have a can get a shot and I have tattoos but when it comes to going into a vein, I get weak in the knees. Did I read correctly that some have to prepare their bowels? Like what, enemas? That's not a requirement here, so I was just thinking how different some requirements are.

Anyone have a list for bag packing? I'm going to be doing that today as well as, food, drink and vitamin shopping. I saved all this for today to keep my mind busy. I will surely be posting again today lol. Possssssitives thoughts everyone. My prayers go out to us all!

Linda. I am packing ... chapstick, gasex strips, sugar free halls, a heating pad and a small firm pillow to help get in and out of bed.

I am with you linda66 I am trying to be calm today I am the one that hates needles lol my doctor has me on nothing but clear liquids today and I half to drink 1/2 a bottle of citrate laxative ill probly drink the whole bottle ive been drinking them once a week anyways pre op diet leaves me so constipated. thats my bowl prep.i am lucky it used to a two day process. I just hope I.dont act like a baby like the last time they did an iv on me for endoscope lol

okay as a softball mom I always tell my kids hydrate hydrate hydrate the day BEFORE the BIG game and although this is NO game we need to take all measures and extra hydrate our bodies today so that we will be ready for the BIG day tomorrow. my bags are packe, I'm nervous as hell, my emotions are all over the place but I know this is what I really want and really need. I'm praying extra hard for all of our 19th sleevers for the surgeons to have steady hands, to have peace in our hearts, to have a speedy recovery and healthy life.

God bless!
