I am also having surgery on the 14th. I am totally freaking out. I am seeing a therapist to help me with emotional eating. Oh my heck. I am allowing myselt to feel my feelings. The fear has been crippling the last couple of days. Last night I read some of your posts. I felt so much better. I have been researching this for two years and felt like I was totally prepared. All of the sudden I am so nervous. It is weird that I am nervous about pre-op and barfing after surgery (I don't do well post anathesia). I am totally fine with everything else. I want to thank you guys for your posts. You have no idea how much it helped to know that some of you are nervous too.

I am having my surgery on the 14th as well. May I join you on the loser's bench?

Thanks so much for all your posts. I read this the other day and loved it.. Thought you might too

"The only things that stand between a person and what they want in life are the will to try it and the faith to believe it is possible!"

So excited to have such support and encouragement .!!! Day 5 of preop, just waiting for the day!

Pre-op diet killed me today!! I was starved all day... Caffeine headache withdrawal on top... :(

But... Staying strong.... Tomorrow's gotta be better!

Thanks for the nice words HappyGirl .... And I can totally relate Kat...

How's the low carb pre-op going green eyed girl?

It's great we have a diverse group getting sleeved all over the place on the same day.... So nervous and excited.... I have been quite emotional ( which isn't like me) at the thought of the post op negatives, but also in a good way also thinking this light finally be the tool that helps me get to a healthy weight!

Hope you all had a great day...

Hello All, ???? My surgery is April 9th @ 7:30 AM. My Dr. only requires a one week pre-op diet which I started today! It is so great to have other sleevers to take on this life changing journey with to support each other and share milestones! We have got this - GO US!

Good luck and goodnight to everyone!

CONGRATS i have my date april 21. ive been dealing with insurance for about 8 months then i just got approval date. i posted a new thread 23 and about to have my sleeve surgery in 2 weeks help. if anyone could check it out and help me i would be so grateful!!

Can u all believe it ? 10 days left... I could scream cry and go a little crazy all at the same time .. I hope u r all doing well .. I think many of us are busy preparing. Ive done day 6 of my preop and thank god it has not been too difficult. I have also lost 5 lbs so that is awsome... How is everyone else doing?

Monday the 14 th too, I start my liquid diet on Monday, just one week of pre-op dieting. I am very anxious for this new chapter to start too! Good luck to everyone!

I'm on day 3 of my liquid diet. Hasn't been bad, except that I'm really struggling to drink all 3 protein shakes. Day one I managed 2, yesterday I could only drink one and so far today I've had one. I'm not hungry at all and since Thursday I've lost 5lbs. I get my cpap on Monday, see the anesthesiologist and go for my Lovenox class. Won't be long now girls! I have to remember to have my husband to take a full length day of surgery picture so I can see my progress. So far I've lost 13 pounds. A lot of fears are starting to come up. But I'm trying to journal and be realistic about life after surgery.
