I just got my surgery date for March 5. I am excited and nervous at the same time but I'm trying to hold it all together.

I’m hungry. Just thought I’d throw that out there, LOL. 7 more days, ugh.

Ok. I just had my appointment with my surgeon to go over everything and sign consents (surgery is scheduled for March 21st).

Current state of mind:

"Am I doing the right thing...." "What if something happens on the table......." "What if something happens afterwards and I'm really sick...." "Is this worry a higher power sending me a sign that I shouldn't do this......."

I'm out of my mind with worry............

I’m hungry. Just thought I’d throw that out there, LOL. 7 more days, ugh.

Hunger for me didn't get easier. I just kept drinking shakes and water and eating yougurt. I'm here now, checked into hospital waiting to go to my room. My anxiety is sky high. I keep asking if this is the right decision. But I know it is. For my life. I need this to have a LIFE.

Heading to the OR!!! Surgery day is finally here!!!!! [emoji16]

To answer your questions: 1.Yes--- you're doing the right thing, at the right time and for the right reasons.2. No--- you Will Not die on the table, operative deaths are almost nil, besides hospitals and Bariatric centers do their very best to not have that besmirch(ooh i[emoji307] that word!) their good reputation and record. 3.Nausea is a very transitory thing and not that many get it anyway. No surgeon worth his salt is going to leave you in worse shape than when you were wheeled in. Surgeons tend to be self confident, have a high opinion of their skills and compentencies, you think they'll willingly make a boo-boo? No way, Jose!

4.A higher being sending a message not to do this? No just your devil of self- doubt trying raise his ugly head. Don't let him, you're a grownup, you're bigger than him and he doesn't have your interests at heart. Tell him Shut up and Leave Me Alone, you're not my friend and I choose not to listen to You. You are going to be fine fine fine, don't let all the whimwahs get you down.

Hi everyone my scheduled date is March 20th. I started my liquid diet this morning and I feel like I am
Starving. Divagirl06 did you loose weight with protein shake meal replacement and just the 2 days liquid diet? I am feeling hesitant about the surgery I am scared

I am feeling the same way too! I mentioned that I am doing the surgery a month ago to a co- worker and she told me last week that she dreamt I died after the surgery! OMG This has added to my fear

That wasn't a dream, that was a nightmare, she needs to eat something that doesn't give her that kind of indigestion.

I'm so upset with my hubby right now. We're both 6 days post-oo and took a trip to the mall. After about an hour, I told him we had to go cuz I was getting thirsty. On our way out, we spotted vending machines with Gatorade. So the low sugar, low calorie flavors were sold out, so I said I'll just wait until we get home, and he actually got upset with me and said, really? So you're gonna avoid sugar for the rest of your life? And then we began to argue, which we NEVER do.

I don't know how I'm gonna do this without his support. He wants to continue his old eating habits, just in less quantities. That's not how this works and I can't have him pressuring me into making bad choices. My marriage has honestly been IDEAL so far. Incredibly, unheard of WONDERFUL. But it won't survive if he's not on my team. It just won't. I'm so upset right now.

Just got discharged - sore, but not impossible and don't need anything but Tylenol. Very VERY sleepy; load a hydration app on your phone before you go in, if you can, I had a hard time keeping track when writing or typing. I'm using WaterMinder and pre-set a 1oz measure so I could just turn on the app and tap each time I drank. My stomach aches, but it's not sharp pains. Incisions are a bit sharper. For whatever reason I progressed really fast and was fit for discharge about 18 hours after surgery. I'm now home sipping a protein shake and getting ready to nap again.

Remember that anything you bring into the hospital, you'll have to sign an "I won't sue if this gets stolen" waiver.
