the final countdown...

Sleeve day is Thursday. Eeeek!

I made a whole list of chores and such to accomplish this weekend. So far, I'm only about 20% done so tomorrow is either gonna be a really long day, or some of these things just aren't gonna get done!

Getting my bags ready - hospital bag and bag of stuff to take to my parents house. I figure I'll let them pamper me for a day or two before I'm home alone.

Took my "before" pics today. Wish I did this 53lbs ago when I started so I could see how much I've already accomplished, but better late than never, right? Taking the pics made it feel so 'real'.

THIS IS ACTUALLY FN HAPPENING!!! YAY!

I'm excited/nervous/scared/anxious/happy - all at once. It's an interesting emotion!

liquid diet is going well. All my hunger went away when I was taken off my bp meds last week. The very next day it was gone, hasn't come back since. I have no idea if the bp meds had anything to do with it or not.

Looking forward to getting the surgery, getting through my stages, and actually having something TO CHEW ON again.

Happy Saturday, yall!

I go on Monday morning, good luck to both of you! I am getting nervous for ht pain, but keeping positive. I will be on puréed Protein starting on day 2 for 4 weeks... I am not sure how that is going to go...

Good luck! I understand about your list not getting done. I had a long list of things to get done this weekend and maybe 20% got done. I do have tomorrow!! I can only imagine the list prior to surgery (mine is scheduled for 06/04/13). Best of luck and keep us posted!

[makemyownluck 785]

I'll be posting my progress, for sure! I'll have my phone handy in the hospital, pretty sure I'll be on this forum if I'm not sleeping or walking around the unit.

Good luck to all of you with your upcoming surgeries!

I am up tomorrow morning also, I can relate to it finally feeling REAL! I have been talking about this for months but it seemed like a million years away. Now it's less than 24 hours and I'm nervous, excited, and ready to be over the surgery hump and back to healing. I have a history of blood clots so I'm on the shots and will be edgy until 2 weeks have past, then I'll know the greatest danger is over for me and I can enjoy moving on! Cannot wait for this next phase of life!!!

Good luck!! Can't wait to hear how things go for you post-op.

I was driving this morning, and my brain was working overtime, worrying about the surgery tomorrow, pain, and all my random thoughts,etc..then I turn on my radio and I heard the Swedish House Mafia song saying "Don't you worry, don't you worry child, heaven's got a plan for you." I thought, I am all good, and ready to do this, and the big guy upstairs has my back too!lol I had to share it with everyone!
