I'm April 3rd. Feeling the jitters for sure!

Hi I'm Becky and a newbie to this group. I'm having the sleeve on April 4th. Have a lap band may yrs ago lost 60 lbs and it has a leek and I'm having it removed. Want to wish everyone Good Luck on your surg day!!

Surgery in the morning at 10:00! It feels like Christmas Eve to me! I can't wait to open up this new life :)!!

Thank you!

Any other April babies feeling a mysterious need to "clean up around the house" and throw stuff out today? I feel so energized. I can't stop unpacking old clothes from the closet and putting them in bags to be donated or thrown away. Not just clothes either -- also "Stuff"! This is weird. Also listening to music I used to when I was younger and thinner. All the new age Deuter and Enya CDs on loop at the house today, crazy!

Almost like the Nesting urge Expectant Mothers get just before they deliver! Well you are facing a Life Challenge yourself, stands to reason you might have this response,everything you get done now, you don't have to do later when you're recovering. Rock it to the Summit, it's all good! And if you still have energy left I'll send you my home address!

I'm in Southern California so I bet you and everybody else are far ahead of me in nesting and cleaning, but I'm all done now and have even packed my overnight case of post-op hospital stay goodies. (It's a tiny case lol so nobody yell at me, I looked at everyone else's here and took notes, lol) Now just sipping no salt low sodium chicken broth and Vitamin Water and waiting down the clock to tomorrow. Gonna take a magnesium citrate in two hours (yuck) then shower with the pre-surgery cleanser they gave me. I shower with it again tomorrow... then off to the hospital! (Edited for brevity etc)

It's weird: I couldn't toss out my favorite two pairs of "fat jeans" today. I've read the term "food funerals" here. I kind of think there need to also be blue jean funerals...

Git it, girl! I'm pulling for you.

Also -- at the risk of babbling and takin' up the board, lol -- why am I not hungry? This is clear liquid day 6 of 6 and the end of two weeks of purees and proteins to do a liver shrink. I was ravenous yesterday evening but yet today so far I feel indifferent to food. If this is what post-op life is like I so want this... I want to stay this light and free

Sure is. I feel peaceful about it now. It's like gliding through a tunnel. Feels "inevitable", heh

I am having surgery April 29th and it can't come soon enough I am anxious as can be.....
