I'm scheduled for April 21st. Could have done earlier. Darn tax season. Dreading the pre-op diet more than the surgery. Mine seems more restrictive than others I've seen.

Not having seconds thoughts but my emotions go from super excited to scared to death. My biggest fears r not waking up after surgery, blood clot, and feeling like I've been hit by a train when I open my eyes in recovery. I think these r normal fears but nothings enough to keep me from getting my sleeve. Nothing scares me as much remaining in this over weight healthy state I'm in currently. Skinny vibes to u and I know u will do great with ur surgery.

Lol all the time, one day convinced no, then something reminds me why I want to do it.

What I try to keep in mind is that I know what can go wrong but I'm not going to let fear of the unknown or maybes stop me starting this adventure and opportunity pass me by.

Hold the faith and push thru.

Curvy what are your stats ? I can totally relate to the worry about "being hit by a train". I don't have the luxury of taking a lot of time off, so I need to hit the ground running! I have heard the surgery to remove and clean up after Lapband and then do sleeve is quite extensive.... Holy moly, that scares me so much.....

But like everyone else I have SO many reasons to do this! Hi BMI, joints all sore , always tired, lifestyle diseases creeping up ... And I truly want to look GOOD again...:)

I'm doing preop now and its not that bad. I'm eating about 800 calories a day. Saturday my real preop kicks in and my calories will be less because I'm going to all liquid then.

I am scheduled for April 23rd!! I have been trying different Protein shakes...I found the best tasting is Chike! I am only going to be in them the first two weeks post op so I didn't load up on them. Some say your taste changes so we will see if they still taste as good after! Hah I have to be on a three day liquid diet pre op so I will not be having an Easter this year!! Haha I am in NY and very excited! I started feb 7th at 270 and have lost 20 lbs so far. I was require to lose 10 to 15 so I'm happy I could exceed that!

Where in NY are you from? And congratulations on losing 20 so far. I haven't even weighed myself and I've been eating clean for over 2-3 weeks!

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
