So how are you feeling today? Hopefully better, I can't believe that this weekend has finally gotten here. I know I really started this process in January once I found out my insurance started covering this procedure for the first time, but even from then it seems like it has taken a long time. I can't even believe that some of you had do the 6 month diet with the NUT... that would have drove me crazy!!

May 27 super excited

I'm still a little off, but all better. My last weigh in I had gone up .4 lbs which bummed me out because I had probably lost decently since the previous weigh-in but I was still holding all my fluids after being dehydrated for two days.

My insurance referral status is still listed as pending. I check it every 20 minutes but no one said anything about any worries. (I just discovered the referral page in my chart accidentally anyway, everything has gone along this whole time without me looking once.)

All I have to say is if I take all the "cleansing" medicine on Monday and show up Tuesday, this thing is on, so help me.

I'm May 26th and don't have to be there until noon. I'm very nervous, but excited. My anxiety is going crazy though. The shakes aren't too bad but I've had a cold this week and couldn't smell all the delicious food my family has been eating! I'm so shocked that I don't miss Diet Coke. I've loved diet coke forever but I haven't found myself missing it at all during the liquid diet.

I feel so much better finally. .. But I had to eat real food on wed I hope that doesn't set me back I've taken some Mira lax to get it out of my system and have had nothing but liquids since then. . I'm getting anxious too

[Sara51692 162]

I honestly can't believe I haven't cheated. I guess I'm too anxious about the surgery to do it! I've also basically been a shut-in for the last week while I'm doing liquids. It helps to not be around food. My 10 day liquid diet became a 9 day diet thought because it was supposed to start on my birthday and my surgeon said I could start the day after. =)

I can't believe it is the night before the night before.... I am excited and scared.... How about all of you?

[Sara51692 162]

I am scared to death! Excited, but scared. I was freaking out earlier and panicking and I emailed my surgeon and probably sounded like a lunatic but between his reassurance and this site, I'm feeling a lot better.

Definitely feeling anxious, just want to be on the other side already! Good luck this week to all of us!

I am due at Admitting at 9:30 tomorrow morning. I'm scheduled for 11:45 but I imagine since I'm not first up it could be almost anytime in early afternoon.

I am generally pretty OK with the surgery itself. I only had to liquid diet yesterday and today and yesterday morning my slight hunger and excitement were making lovely butterflies in my stomach and I felt almost high. Then the PEG 3350 (or "poop" medicine) sort of ruined that! Now I keep having waves of "This is crazy!" but still no worries over the surgery itself which is either confidence or lack of insight. Eh, I'll take it.

[Sara51692 162]

I'm not due in until noon and surgery at 2pm. I hate having to wait all morning to go in! I have no poop medicine, is that a good thing or bad thing? Lmao!

Yeah my heart is just pounding sometimes and going "is this real? Am I really doing this?" And then I get excited about thinking about afterwards.
