Well everyone I am getting more and more nervous with each day that passes. I have never had surgery, besides wisdom teeth, and have never really been put under besides for those wisdom teeth and my Upper GI. No kids, no broken bones....pretty healthy person. So the thought of surgery is scaring the living daylights outta me!!! trying to stay positive but have almost backed out several times now. Start my preop diet Monday! Anyone else feeling the anxiety????

I was fine until I realized that Monday was the last time I had to meet with my surgeon before surgery 8/12. Not to mention he told me that he could sense my nervousness...which wasn't tue. I was just tired after waiting 2 hours to see him. :-/ lol

You'll be fine. Just do plenty of research. I start my pre-op diet 7/29. Let's go August!!!

I'm August 1st too!. Started preop yesterday with high protein/low carb. At the same time starting to feel anxious. In the same boat - have never had surgery so the whole sedation thing got me going (to the point I revised my will- just in case). Sure I will "moments" before the surgery of doubt but I know deep down this the right thing for me and that I am going to be all right!

Miss Cee its cool to see other young people doing this!! Abby girl- your will??? yikes so I am not the only one??? That makes me feel better. I truly think we will all be fine. Like my dietician said, its like getting married were getting cold feet!!! I am not even scafred of the diet. I am scared of the pain when I wake up!!! Im a huge baby when I am nauseous!!! I would love to follow you ladies! we can explore this journey together!1

Count me in!! I'm August 1st too!! I'm incredibly nervous!!!! How's your preop diet going? I hate it!! Any suggestions??

Do you all have YouTube accounts- are you videoing your journey??

I start my preop Monday! UGH went grocery shopping and left my cart the first time. then I had to take my best friend with me the second time :-) WHat are you most nervous about? I don't have a you tube account? I was thinking about doing a blog. I have tried to add you all as friends so we can chat but it never shows you online? Anyone on facebook? Would love to have support from you all. My fiancé is rail thin and I see that being the only challenge. And our 12 year old daughter will need to eat more then baby food and protein shakes!!

How are you doing with the pre-op diet???

i don't start until Monday but I have bought all my stuff. HOw are you doing???

I'm having surgery on August 1st also !!!! This is day 3 for me of liquids, and it hasn't been difficult at all. I think I really prepared myself mentally for it. Plus, I was binging like a maniac the last several weeks, so not eating is almost a relief. At the rate I was going, I wouldn't be able to fit into my scrubs if I'd gained another 5 pounds. (which would have been easy in a week) My Doc only prescribed one week of liquids, but I chose to do 2 just to stop the bingeing, (and get a jump start on the weight loss). I'm not planning on doing a YouTube video diary, but I would like to start a support group for all the August 1st People. My email address is AmyLynnBrock@hotmail.com. Email me if you're interested.

Sorry all August 1st sleeves been pretty busy gettin things done before the "day". How's everyone doing preop diet? Mine is high Protein low carb and right now I'm ready to either cluck like a chicken or oink like a pig from all the eggs and bacon! Had final appointment with doctor and nut on Wednesday- went well. Doctor is so nice and friendly. Loved the fact he introduced himself by his first name and gave his personal cell phone number. How corny am I?

Amyinorlando I would love to join the 8/1 club if you got it going and offer is still there - let me know!

I'm the same way, no major surgery or anything. But, I will say I am so ready for this liquid diet to be over! That's why I'm ready for surgery. Besides, look at the wonderful life we have to look forward to having. I'm ready to accept this challenge. August 7th can't come quick enough for me. You will be fine!!!

Three more days and we will be on the losers bench!!!
