I have my surgery scheduled for May 27th; I know there was a post a while ago that some people were responding to but could not find it again.. but since we are a week away now - wanted to check in and see how everyone is doing? I seem to be doing Ok with the shakes, using the blender and throwing in about 10 ice cubes really makes them thick and yummy and really filling,, much more than I thought the would be. How is everyone else doing? I am very excited for the group of people that is going thru the surgery this week and my best wishes is with them!!

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

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?

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!

May 28th!

@@dolphin_girl will be thinking of you tomorrow and the rest of the May crew... Positive prayers and thoughts!!!

@@Sara51692 Good luck you will do awesome. I am right behind all of you and will be waiting for updates and posts when you all are up to it.

@@cruzin2beskinny alright Cruzin your engine is reving and ready to go... best of luck, prayers to you. Keep us posted!

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.

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.

I don't have the "poop" (happy about that) medicine either! I guess all surgeons have different plans!!!
