Actually, I am scheduled for the 13th as well. Nerves have started to get to me but I jumped on here read through old posts of others getting thru it. Really trying to put the head down and do this, not get too freaked out and bail

I’m scheduled the 26th!

I'm scheduled for a gastric sleeve on June 10th and so happy to be apart of this group. I'm so nervous and my addict brain is a such a piece of ****, trying to convince me I don't need the surgery, I will lose the weight, the whole nine. This **** is so real.

June 11th. Anyone else struggling with the no food 14 days before?

Today is day 2 of the liquid diet. I was fine until my family had dinner. I decided to have a shake, and stay in the same room. It was a struggle. But we’re going to struggle with similar types of choices after surgery too, at least that’s what I kept telling myself.

I’m schedule for to 10th

Hello! First time in this forum, so glad I found it! I am scheduled for gastric sleeve surgery on June 14, and am finishing day 3 of the liquid protein diet. So far, so good - tbh, I’m amazed at the energy I have. Altho talk to me on day 6 or 7 and I might change my tune lol

Also a first time poster. Booked in for a gastric sleeve on Jun 13th. I couldn't be more nervous! I have a real hard time telling people outside of my immediate family as I have felt embarrassed and ashamed I've let myself get to this point. On the pre-op diet now, and the first 2-3 days were really tough. 9 days out from surgery I am coping with the diet much better now.

My surgery is scheduled for June 20th! I'm currently in my preop diet but it is very modified. I only have to replace 1 meal with a protein shake and the rest of the meals consist of 1/2 cup lean protein and unlimited non starchy vegetables. Mine is modified b/c my BMI is not as high. Struggling with the dinner meal but trying to push through.

Whelp, now I'm so terrified about the surgery on Monday that I am psyching myself out thinking what if I die during surgery? What about my husband and our three young daughters? I'm thinking this is my addict brain trying any which way to prevent me from having this surgery, but there are risks. My doctor assigned a video for me to watch about gastric sleeve procedures, including benefits, complications, expectations, and 11 instances that the patient is at risk of death.

So now I'm scared. I'm gonna talk to my Mom who had gastric bypass decades ago to try to chill me out, but anyone out there can calm my fears a bit. I'm also scared because I had some chicken breast and bunless cheeseburger, I'm putting myself at risk of death. Oh this cycle of nonsensical what-ifs is driving me mental!! Lol ? ? ?

Hi I'm new. I'm scheduled for this Thursday the 6th. At first I was very excited, now I'm scared and having second thoughts. Is anyone else feeling this way?

My 26yo son just completed Robotic Gastric Bypass 6/7 - doing great!

I had Open RnY Gastric Bypass Feb 2002

You're definitely not alone with this feeling. This is the reason why it took me so long to make a decision to do the surgery in the first place. Our kids depend on us so much, but we need to remember why we are doing this and that we are getting healthy for us and them.

Hi! My gastric sleeve is scheduled for June 13th too! I’m so excited I can barely contain myself. Every one keeps asking me if I’m nervous. Not in the slightest about the surgery, but I’m worried they’ll call me the day before and reschedule. That’s my only fear, ?. Anybody else?
