I'm down 18.4 pounds on Day 10 preop diet. Great. Sleeve is Monday and I think the anxiety is catching up with me. Having bad dreams like waking up in a panic thinking I had eaten fried chicken on the morning of my surgery. Then yesterday when I was getting my hair washed at the hairdresser, I got hot/flushed/nauseated. Had to sit up and cut the wash/scalp massage short. Maybe a teensy panic attack?? Has this happened to anyone else?

Monie, Breezy, and Momwith3 - I am also having surgery this week: on Weds. I was very nervous all last week. Now I just want to get on with it. Since I am going to MX - my anxiousness is more about wanting to get back home.

Hoping to keep connected with a few who are going through it at the same time; so please update when you can! I will try to do the same

Good luck to each of you!

Will keep you up to date. I'll be very curious to here about your experience in Mexico. My sister in Canada is thinking about it.

Good luck to all the tomorrow surgery peeps! You will all do great! Update us as soon as your feel up to it.

Yes!!! 2 days until surgery and I dreamed that I ate a donut while waiting for surgery and it caused me to have surgery postponed 3 months. Then I had a dream that they told me I was pregnant at 41 and had 5 minutes to decide... Surgery or baby!

@@Monie717 not only normal, but expected (and for many, will continue post-surgery with hormone dumping). For me, enhancing my emotional regulation skills and ability to sit with moments like you describe has been one of my biggest goals since I used food to cope for so long and knew I had to change that to be successful. Best of luck this weekend, Monday and beyond!

OMG yessss! I'm beginning the emotional regulation now in my pre-op stage. It's tough! I'm a therapist and I feel like I need one at times!

Since being told my tentative date, I haven't been sleeping. I'd take the bad dreams at this point just to get some shut-eye
