Surgery Tuesday at 11am (ish) only been on this liquid pre op diet since yesterday & I'm already about to go insane , I think my stomach just bit my liver lol. I've been getting more nervous also even thought about is it really worth it??

It's totally worth it. You will do just fine! Good luck!

Awesome! Thank you. The nervousness and excitement are both there. Tomorrow is my last day before the big day. I did get Gas X strips. I thought that was a great idea by someone. I'm actually getting my hair done in the am. With my friend. Then it's liquid and that drink stuff for me. I can't believe it's finally here v

Meintraining, I wore old navy sleep pants that have a drawstring so that they could be loose on the way home and a long mens tshirt...comfortable is key. I expected to need everything and preparing added to my anxiety. But once the surgery was over, nothing in my packed bag mattered. I kept my purse, which is tote size, beside the bed on my rolling tray. My charger cord was just long enough but barely. The hospital provided anti slip socks, toothbrush, toothpaste, Shampoo, conditioner, lotion, tv, remote, extra pillows, and even found me a fan. The morphine made me hot so that fan was awesome sauce! lol. You're gonna do great!

Snow Daisy and Kenny we've got this!!!!!! I think it's healthy to be nervous. Good luck to you both. I look forward to sharing notes from the other side of the fence.

I've had those thoughts too...but I think we are making the right decision. We want to be here for our kids and families... We want a good quality if life and we want to teach by examples.

We CAN do this!!! Chin up! Stay strong! I'll be needing this pep talk next Sunday! K? K!

Hi all

I know there are a few 1/27/14 surgery a, but I'm still getting used to this site and can't remember who. So to us, happy prayers, and lot of well wishes.

Okay, I wasn't warned what the magnesium citrate does. I must have missed it. Geez Louise I think I should just bring my pillow and blanket into the bathroom!

My surgery is 7:30am and reporting to the hospital by 5:15.

*****Negative Thoughts*****

I'm nervous and a but apprehensive. Due to the early nature tomorrow, my son is at his dad's. Is it too negative that I've recorded a message to him just in case?

I know why I'm doing this, but I'm second guessing, is it worth the risk if my son has to go one without his mom? My sugars have improved with my pre-surgery weight loss. My blood pressure and cholesterol too. I still need to lose another 90+, I've lost 94 on my own (took damn 11 months) I feel like I'm standing with a foot on both sides of a line. It's so hard to lose weight on my own, I've done it by drastically reducing calories and b/c surgeon says it improves survival and reduces complications. It'd be do awesome to not be hungry ALL the time.

Am I being selfish to go through with this? If something goes wrong, will my son hate me forever?

Don't get me wrong, I'm not going into this expecting it to go wrong (or I wouldn't be doing it) I've already made plans. My bday is 2/14. I know I won't be up to doing much this year, but next year I'll be 40 and I'm planning a trip with my son (while he still wants to hang out w/me; he is 14).

Ugh, sorry to be a Debbie downer. (And so emotional, did I mention I'm bipolar?)

I'll be fine, we'll all be fine. Great even!

I'm going to be okay

SnowDaisy

Thank you. I can't sleep. It's nice to know you all have been where I am at some phase. Thank you.

[Doing It 4 Them 84]

We'll I haven't chickened out yet<br> In acu.

Do you think the drs and nurses help to calm you? When I was there doing the admission papers n nurse consulting I began to feel better...now as for my actual day... Idol yet but...I'm hoping I feel good about it when I am there.

The best thing to calm you down is the anesthetic ... Lol, sorry couldn't resist, but it's true, you won't get better than that...xxx

Oh my goodness jlmckee. I'm so with you and well said. I just got the phone call from the hospital. My surgery is at 7 am. I have to be there at 6 am. It's finally here. I'm just now drinking my Magnesium Citrate. It is disgusting. Like really, really disgusting. I got lemon. I could barf but that's ok I'm doing this and I am sooooooo ready. I won't be sleeping tonight. I never sleep anyway but I know it won't be happening tonight. I'll be up trying to distract myself. I'm glad it's first thing in the am. Less time to chicken out. I've told so few people about it that it's easy to pretend it's not happening but now it's here.
