Hello all.... Praying for everyone getting sleeved today..... So excited for you... Meanwhile today is Day 1 of my liquid diet!!! It's cool...

#14daystogo

Does anyone have extreme thirst during pre-op? I can't satisfy no matter what I drink. Is it ketosis?

Much love, hugs and prayers for those getting sleeved today.

I will be getting sleeved with dr. lopez in tj at Mi doctor will be starting pre op diet today I pray everything goes well.

I had great thirst during the pre-op phase. I was drinking a gallon or more of water a day and never felt refreshed.

My surgery is tomorrow!!!! I am really getting scared! I have wanted this for so long, and I really can't believe it is here, but I am not looking forward to the recovery part. I have heard it go both ways....really rough, and easy peasy. I am hoping for the easy peasy! I am worried about water intake, sipping instead of big drinks, throwing up (i absolutely hate throwing up or dry heaving), and eating as slow as i should be. On the other hand, I am soooo excited to be starting this journey and being the best me I can be!! It was 20 years ago that I was my thinnest. Not sure how small that even is. We got this....those sleeved this month!! Ohhh and it is also my birthday in a few weeks. It will be interesting to see how I get to celebrate that!!

Good luck to all Aug 11 sleevers today!!

Tomorrow is the big day for me!! Down 30 lbs since June 25th! I'm excited but not really nervous at all!!

Thank you 3in1wOL! I thought I was going crazy- no sooner I finish a big glass of water , that I need more. My stomach fills bit I can't quench the thirst. I'm gulping too and worried after surgery that I'll feel this way but won't be able to gulp!

I never worried about gulping post-surgery when I was pre....but there have been times since Wednesday (surgery was Tuesday) that I thought, "I am going to forget I can't gulp and end up throwing up". Fortunately that hasn't happened. There have been a few times I have had too many sips too close together...when that happens I get a pain in my belly and it feels like a little cramp. I must say I am really getting much better at knowing exactly how much I can sip at a time. You will do great....stay positive.

Constantly.... lol.

I was scheduled for Aug 25 but had to push the date to Sept 22 because I got shingles in late June. It's taken a full two months to get mostly over it. My PCP thinks it was stress caused by preparing for surgery. I don't really know. That said, I'm getting a flu shot today as it just became available in my area and I don't want to postpone again! I'm sure I just had bad luck and that most folks don't have to postpone. I'm so paranoid now that I may live in a bubble for the next 6 weeks!

....just realized this is out of context....this was in response to a post about being afraid of getting sick and having to postpone....unfortunate I can't delete my post...only edit.
