APRIL 21st Sleevers!

[Brendymom 19]

After waiting what seemed like forever, things finally got real this week. Had pre-op visit & labs yesterday. Started diet today. Also had to stop anti-inflammatory meds. Had a crazy week at work, too. Woke up with a killer Migraine today. Could be related to no caffeine. Sitting here with the heating pad on my back & an ice pack on my head. Hoping it gets better soon.

I'm gonna start my diet tomorrow. I'm looking forward to this being over and done.

I thought about starting tomorrow too. We will see how I feel in the am.

[gettinbacktome 104]

Good Morning. I started my pre op. Any pointers from anyone who has been doin it up til now

But why can't we chew gum?

[gettinbacktome 104]

Can we? No one has ever said anything about gum

[Sboulie 90]

Can you guys believe we are a week away!!?!? I'm freaking out. Things are really stressful at home and I ate this weekend when I know I shouldn't have. I'm so lost right now not knowing what I should do....so depressed. AND I got my period today...boo

[gettinbacktome 104]

oh yes Sabrine. You are a ball of emotions...and your period too. Goodness. It's ok u slipped. You still have another week to get back on track

[gixxergirl 85]

Yeah. It's understandable that you slipped. Just get back on track. I've been drinking crystal light every time I thought about it. I was trying to avoid hunger. Well, here's hunger. Lol

I thought I read something that said I couldn't chew gum the week before surgery.

So how is everyone doing???? Three more days!!!! What's the status on everyone's nerves? Are you packed? Going crazy?

Pre-op diet has been rough. Work provided pizza for lunch today, but there I was with 3oz of lean ham & a cup of yogurt. Haven't done much else but I have a 3 day weekend to get ready. Hospital is only 10 minutes away, so no need to pack much.

Pre op has been rough but ive been hanging in there. I guess I do need to pack. I have to make plans for lil one on Monday depending on what time I have to be there.

I am use to the shakes. Still need to pack and situate the house. They don't tell me the time until Sunday! Easter is going to be rough. Huge family outing and they don't know about the surgery. Fighting like crazy with my mom and sister. I think they are going to fight me until I pass out from the anesthesia. My hubby is still not happy but he took the day off to be with me. I think they all think I'm going to fail. Not lose weight and still eat. And my sister again said I'm taking the easy way out bc I'm lazy and don't want to do it the right way. Isn't it really bad to go into surgery stressed and upset??!?! With all this stress and all I can do is sip a damn Protein Shake pisses me off even more!!! I don't need this sh!t.

I'm sorry that you have all of that going on. You have to do what's best for you. This is your journey alone. I've told my friends to either support me or shut up. You do not need this stress. I'm thinking they will change their song once they see how good you're doing.
