I'm nervous, excited, so many emotions! I'm 25, married, and have two little girls that are 4 and 2 1/2 months old. This will be my first surgery ever, I've never been put under for anything so It will be an experience! This has been a very private event for me so having others who are going through the same thing, at the same time would be awesome.

I'm ready to do work! ????????

Mine is the 16th also. I am having a lap band to sleeve revision. I'm so ready!

I have only told one person ... At work when they asked me about the surgery, I lied.

I will say that the preop diet has been extremely challenging. My doctor doesn't require it, but I have tried to be good about eating low carb ... But even that was a bit hard. So much of my problem is my head "hunger" ... Also sad of all the foods that I am going to have to give up.

I totally understand what ur feeling, we are about to go through such a life changing experience that it seems as if everything will be sooo much different on the other side, and there is no doubt that it will at the beginning. Eventually though we will begin to get to know our sleeves and our bodies all over again and though we won't be able to eat in such large unhealthy quantities or have that "I'll start my new diet Monday" mentality, it won't be long until we will be eating normal foods that we used to love, but in moderation! And this time we'll look even sexier doing it haha just keep doing the best you can and keep trucking, all we can do is keep moving forward

My apt is at 8:30 am, so I have to be there by 6:30 am. We live about an hour and a half away / so Monday is going to be a early day. My husband is going to drop me off then head back to drop of our four year old at school before heading home. I will be at the hospital alone since DH has to work and take care of our little man. Once I'm released he will come and get me but it's difficult to plan since I don't have a timeline (any ideas of when you guys expect to be out?)

I'm packing up my little gym bag with a few items for the hospital stay (robe, pj, socks, undies, toothbrush, hair ties, so far). Any other recommendations?

So far I have been trying to clean up the house so that it's not s total disaster by the time I can get back to it.

Nervous is an understatement

Mine is also the 16th and am also nervous and excited at the same time. I haven't even started my small bag, I been too busy working and studying all this week leaving everything ready for next week.

I'm in the process of packing my bag, cleaning, feeding the little ones, going back to packing...lol I'm all over the place! I've read that others just take very few items, definitely bring a robe, eos lip balm, charger, gas x strips, PPI, and an extra pair of clothes just incase (most have said they didn't need it)! As long as I have a way to see how my girls are doing that's all that matters for me lol I'm hoping my husband can bring them once I'm done, they are the first thing I want to see when waking up ????

No timeline for me yet either. The guy that told me what time to be there the next morning (9:00am) said the soonest I'd go back is 11am but could be later, that kind of nonsense is not easy for someone who likes to plan ;P lol!

Give urself some time to pack and relax lady! Lol u don't want to be rushing last minute . (I'm assuming UR a lady from ur s/n -4give me if I'm wrong!)

Mine is the 16th, too. I'm relaxing this weekend - doing laundry, cleaning up and having a massage tomorrow. Trying to keep my mind from focusing on the surgery. Definitely ready to start the next chapter!

Down to clear liquids today!! But plan to stay busy - so far have a new tv to buy, swim class with the kiddo.

I'm tomorrow also. I have to be there at 6AM. Packing my bag now!

Hey everyone! Glad to hear ya'll are doing good and keeping busy! And update on me: Enjoyed my last high protein meal last night..Ive been drinking my orange isopure since 8am and I haven't even finished half of it. I'm trying to get as much water in as possible. Having to make food for my family is harder on only liquids, but I'm managing well the hardest part for me aside from only liquids is not drinking after midnight or in the morning and not letting my nerves prevent sleep!

My surgery is tomorrow as well! I am a bundle of nerves! I have to be at the hospital at 5:45 am and I don't think I'm going to be able to sleep tonight! Good luck to all of you!

Sleep will be hard for me too! if u can't sleep feel free to come here and talk through your emotions, I'm sure we are all feeling similar....I have Been non stop researching all day, it's like I'm trying to reconfirm or convince myself that what I have already decided is the right thing, Silly isn't it!

Mine is the 16th also. I am having a lap band to sleeve revision. I'm so ready!

I'm having a lap band to sleeve revision tomorrow as well. Best wishes to you as your journey moves forward! I'm soooo ready too, been on full liquids and now clear liquids today. Eager to be on the other side of this surgery!
