I am right there with you. I go in the 25th. I have been keeping myself very busy to not think about it too much. I spent the day getting the house organized and errands to prepare for a 2 week down time. Feels like the "nesting" instinct that expecting moms go through.

Staying busy will pass the time. I am not required a pre-op diet but figure what the hell. It will give me a chance to try different Protein shakes and clear the carb and caffeine headaches ahead of time. Any loss before surgery is a bonus.

Time will fly, I'm just staying busy!

Good luck, keep us posted!!

I thought I was going to die. But I didn't. How's that for positive? It was the best possible outcome. Seriously. I am very happy I did it, and would do it again in a heartbeat.

Hi! Just signed up. My surgery is scheduled for Jan 31!

I had the sleeve done Dec 12th and I have no regrets. So happy I did this. Feel like I've taken my life back and feel more in control than I ever have. Good luck!

I wasn't nervous until I woke up on my surgery day. I cried. I was scared! But I got dressed and went to the hospital. I had RNY on 12/21. My surgery went very well. No complications. I stayed overnight and was discharged the next day.

Keep walking, take your meds, and sip your Water....its your way to recovery!

Thank you everyone! Having people to talk to that are going through it, really makes it more manageable and exciting.

I said the same thing, @lacylou. It feels just like nesting. I am scheduled for the 24th. I have been preparing freezer meals for my family, cleaning, organizing, making lists, scheduling people to get my kids to and fro, and working on changing my eating habits a little at the time. I don't have a diet to do either except clear liquids the day before, but I've been cutting back, cutting down on carbs and caffeine (yikes), and have been completely free of sodas and sweet tea for several weeks now. It's getting real! Good luck and prayers to everyone with upcoming surgery dates.

I'm scheduled for the 20th, too, and starting my pre-op diet tomorrow. I'm back and forth between excited and wondering what in the heck I'm doing to myself. Definitely anxious about the whole thing, but determined.
