Yes, I am very excited and nervous! I'm only nervous with the unknown of afterwards not the actually surgery. Might sound silly, I do have a great confindence though that I can and will do this and be successful! How are you doing and what are you doing to prepare for afterwards?

I have been cruzing this site for a few weeks. Today I got my date for the sleeve surgery. I know it's good to have support through this so hoping I can meet some people going through the same things as me. I'm nervous about telling people, not sure if I am. About the surgery itself (never had surgery) and worried about saggy skin. Ha

I'm doing very well. I actually still have pre-op and post-op items to buy. I think after surgery I will be just fine it's the pre-op liquid diet I'm dreading.

I started last week trying to elimanate caffeine from my diet and adding the 64 oz of Water that I will be required to get in after surgery. I have had a caffeine headache almost everyday. (I'm addicted to caramel frappes and NOS energy drinks) I have one week without them now and I do still get a headache at times but not as bad now. I really could use one right this minute though, this is always in my head. It doesn't help that my hubby loves them too! lol I have been taste testing Protein shakes and have one now in place of b'fast now. I really do like the chocolate Ensure High Protein Shakes. I too am still worried about nothing but liquids for the next month! 10 day liquid diet, then 3 days of clears, then 2 weeks of full liquids post op......scarry!
