My Surgery is on Thursday!

Thursday!! Today is Sunday. OMG! It has been a long, hard road with many hoops to jump through, and now, "suddenly", it's here! I am nearly there. I am nearly sleeved. I'm nearly having a difficult time with pain from a drain, and not able to drink a bottle of Water at one sitting. I'm nearly barely able to eat a tablespoon of greek yogurt at a sitting. My life is nearly changed for the better. One day soon I will be searching my closets for smaller clothes which I saved back from when I was smaller. I'm so excited to begin this journey to health and happiness, I am nearly able to polish my own toenails, to lace up my shoes. Nearly able to run up a flight of stairs and not be winded and keep up with my grand kids. It's Sunday...I'm nearly there!

Did they move your surgery up?? They called today and said mine is 11 now. So excited for us!!!!

Good luck to all of you this week!! I wish I was right there with you, but still have over a month to go before I get my date with my surgeon... I'm getting antsy!!

Trust me it will absolutely fly by!! I thought it would never get here but looking back it has been so fast. Do as much research as you can and start transitioning to your preop diet ahead of time so it isn't as drastic of a change!! Thank you for the well wishes!

Have been researching every day many times daily.

Good luck!!! I know how excited/nervous you are. I was sleeved on 3/9 and without even thinking about it, was sitting at a softball game on Friday and realized I was sitting there with my legs crossed! What a feeling! I haven't been able to do that for...well, who knows how long it was. I was so excited when I realized what I was now able to do.

I'm so excited about this that I research this sight many many timed s day looking for information. Wanna do everything right to be successful.

So excited for your journey to to truly begin. You are so optimistic and I feel you will do quite well! My name is Tara. I was sleeved on April 7th and doing pretty well!

I'm Natalie from Kentucky. Awesome. Would live to watch your progress

@@wannaBthinsoon do you have a 2 week liquid diet? I just realized I've been on this liquid diet for 12 days without cheating!!! I can't believe we're so close.

I'm on the 2 week pre-op diet too and have been so hungry but am doing fine regardless. I've lost 6 lbs in 12 days.

We got each others back on here. Before u know it you will be post op
