Good luck!

Thank you! Good luck to you too!!

I am the 17th of October also [emoji4]

October 17th too. That’s gonna be a crazy day for us!!! We need to keep in touch and tracking together [emoji847][emoji847][emoji847][emoji847][emoji847]

This thread is popping all of a sudden lol. Yesterday was my last day at work before the leave. I've been telling everyone I'm going on vacation lol. I know it's weird but I feel like I'm preparing for things to go wrong so I spent all day at work making sure everything was organized for my teammates in case I didn't return. Very Morbid. I just have this big fear of dying on the operating table. My surgery is 2 days away and all I can think about is dying. At least it has replaced my yearning for meat.

I told work I’m going back to Maui lol I just went in May so I’ll know exactly what to tell them when I get back, only I won’t be tan LOL

And girl, you’re not going to die on the operating table!! You’re scared and nervous and that’s soooooo normal. You need to think about how good you’re going to feel, how great you’re going to look and all the new clothes you get to buy [emoji7] you’ll be healthier and happier and that’s what is gonna happen!!!!

Day 2: passed my leak test. Think I may have over done it a bit this am. I walked a couple times went for the test then took a sink bath. I forgot I had the pain pump and hadn’t used it today yet. Until I sat back in bed and realized I had some pain even when not Moving around. I quickly used it and now resting.

Day one post op for me. I am so glad this is done!

2 days before surgery and I am nervous as hell I don't know what to do to get over it I can't really sleep or anything and now today starts my 48hrs of just a liquid diet I don't know how I'm gonna handle that either

And yet somehow you will... if you work dive in, organize, go crazy... if at home bindge watch something or start knitting... either way time will pass quickly, you’ll see. Good luck!

his is the final night before the surgery. Ahhhhh so much anxiety. I haven't done anything all day. I really want to have one last meal before the hurrah but I decided not to, I'm committed to this journey and I don't want to self-sabotage any more. I'm ready to be HEALTHY!

What a great thought! No self sabotage and onward to health! Hope it worked out wonderfully and your recovery is good.

Same date as me but sorry to hear your pre-op diet is not going well.

Mine is going smoothly.

What is troubling you with yours?

I just got my date about an hour ago...October 16th. It just got real. I’m extremely nervous and so very excited at the same time

My pre op diet is going well. Yesterday I was feeling tired and has a headache. Today I feel more energetic. The body has to adapt I guess.

Last night before surgery. Checking in at 630am tomorrow. Don't think I'm gonna sleep much so I'm nice and tired all day after surgery since the only thing ill be able to do is sleep and rest. It's been a long road I can't believe surgery day is FINALLY HERE

Getting sleeved on October 16th! Started my pre-op liver reduction diet a couple days ago.

I got my date yesterday of October 30th. I am starting the full liquid diet next Friday. I have been replacing 1 to 2 meals a day with the Pure Protein shakes and limiting my sugar intake. Giving up coffee is the hardest, but doable.

Started my pre-op diet on Monday. Lost 7.5 lbs already in 3 days. wooohooo can't wait for surgery day! VSG in T minus 12 days (October 17th). Anyone from NY here?
