Hello everyone!

Hope you are all travelling well on this crazy/amazing journey.

My surgery date is coming up fast, next week 16 September. Feeling a little lonely going through this process - I have my family/friends support but would be great to have conversations/support from people in simillar situations.

I'm on my 3rd week of my 4 week pre-op diet. I'm down 4kg but seem to have plateaued a bit in the last couple days.

Anyhoo, staying optimistic as this going to change my life for the better!

Is anyone else getting sleeved this month?

@@Feekenstein

I got sleeved early March 2016.

I am on the Gold Coast, so if you need some support or have questions, PM me.

All the best for your surgery!

Cheers,

Margo

@ Thanks Margo, I appreciate it - I'll definitely be in touch!

All the best for next week. Hope all goes well

Always happy to share my experiences and any help.

Best wishes to you!

Good luckl!

Thank you everyone... after a little emotional episode last night (sobs were involved), I'm back to feeling more positive today... 6.5 days to go...

You'll be fine Feek. Just think of the light at the end of the tunnel. A healthier you ????????

I had my freak out today, I was determined to call the surgeon on Monday pushing the operation back because life is crazy with 3 kids. But I'll wait till Monday afternoon to see how I still feel and go from there.

Hope today was better for you xx

@@Ebony Rose How are you feeling now? I hope you are still on track?

I'm feeling a whole range of emotions with only 3 days to go but I seem to be equal parts anxiousness and excitement.

I know I can do this though.

@@novemberkilo how are you travelling?

I'm doing ok....penny has dropped that I'm only 6 days out....but as much as I'm nervous....I'm more excited about what the future will hold without having to drag all this weight around....it will be a change for the better ????????

Really struggling today. Feeling like I can't stick to the pre-op diet so what's the point...

Mind you the "cheat" food is Protein to keep my body in ketosis..

I have had the same thoughts.....it has been a tough two weeks on this pre op diet....but then i worry about not doing it and the increased risk during surgery....nothing may happen but I would rather not give any reason for something to happen and thats what motivates me to get through it.

I went through the same feelings in week 2 of pre-op diet and I still had 2 weeks to go! It didn't last though and I kept myself and my mind, busy. It did pass and it will pass for you too. Be strong.
