Anyone else have surgery on the 8th? I would love to have a surgery partner. I am so scared right now. My mother knows 2 people personally who died from bypass, 10-15 years ago. I didn't tell her until last weekend because I knew that she would be negative. I am 52 years old and want to live to see my grandchildren. I need to stop reading the internet and seeing horror stories! My husband, children, and best friend are supportive. I know she is scared for me, but I really need to be positive right now.

Hi my name is Debi and I a having mine on the 9th. I am also 52. I have also had some people tell negative things about this surgery, but I have faith in God and I know he will give me the strength to get through this. I am in With where are you?

Debbie, I am in Iowa. How about you? I also have a STRONG faith. Shall we go through this together?

You're having the sleeve, NOT bypass, which has more surgical connections. It's very safe.

Sure that would be great, How are you doing with the liquids?

What time of the day do you usually come on here? I just signed up today on here so this is new to me. Are you on FB?

Debbie, I don't start liquids until Saturday. I am new to this site as of today and am just learning to navigate. I am on Facebook. My name is Sheryl Van Raden Borcherding.

How long are you on liquids? I am just for 2 days. I am and have been on a 1200 calorie diet for the last two weeks. I have not cheated once, but only lost 4 pounds. That is my life story. Diets no longer work for me. I am just praying that the sleeve does.

Where are you located? I am on sometimes during the day, but most nights at about 7 central time, give or take.

I am getting sleeved on the 8th as well. What time is your surgery? Mine is at 10:30. I'm nervous but excited too. My husband and family are very supportive. I also have strong faith and I know God will see me thru this.

Cryst116, I won't know my time until Friday. I will post it then. I will be thinking about you.

I am in Milwaukee Wi I will send you a friend request on fb . I am new to this forum and its confusing on how to get on here sometimes! Lol I had to be on liquids for 10 looooooooong days some days were harder than others. I know once we have the sleeve our eating and appetite will change as long as we follow what our Dr tells us to do. Check your fb for my friend request

Tried to find you on fb no luck, you can send me a friend request Debi Chase Valdez

I have been on the liquid diet since last Wed and have lost 10 pounds. Is tough some days but I am sure it will pay off, shrinking my liver to make this a little easier! I wish you luck on Tue

Mine is 3 shakes and 6 servings of specific items like broth, unsweetened applesauce, low carb yogurt, carrots, plain oatmeal. I have been pretty full. What is killing is smelling what my hubby and girls are eating. It's not even that it's unhealthy... But a real meal with meat, veggies, and all put together - like taco soup. I know it's going to be worth it in the long run. Good luck to you too! It's a scary journey and will need others who can understand. I have 2 classmates from HS and a band mom that I talk with a lot on Facebook about this. They are in different stages, year out, 6 months and 3 months.

I know I cook for my husband and its hard not being able to taste the food and smelling it, but just a few more day till surgery!
