Thank you! Love your post!

Thank you!! Definately would appreciate the prayers.

Oh, that's great that they moved the time up for you. I'm hoping mine is scheduled for the morning as well. I'm not sure if I will be getting a drain. My surgeon does it on an individualized basis. I'm worried about the littlest things, like not being able to wear deodorant and no lotions on body/face. I'm packing it along . I don't know the answer to the shower. I would think you would be able to shower the next day, I hope.

I hope you are feeling better!! Just think, you are on your way to a healthier you! There are also some posts on here about the emotions after surgery. I was very emotional after my first child, my hormones were all out of wack. If that happens to me again, I hope my husband is prepared . Good luck on getting all your fluids in today.

I will not get a call until after 4 p.m. for my surgery time. I was told he does surgeries from 5 a.m. - 4 p.m. I am busy trying to get all my laundry done . Yes, best of luck to us!!

I'm holding the best I can!! Just so nervous!! I really didn't think I would be this nervous. You're right, I just need to keep thinking about how this is going to change me (in a good way)

I am a bundle of nerves also!! I went to do my final grocery shopping for postop. Seems so final now! When I talked to my sister to tell her how scared I was, sher said, "think how good this is going to be for you." She's so right!! Nothing else worked for me. Hard to believe tomorrow is the big day for us!!

I am so glad you are keeping us posted. Thanks for the information about the drinking. I'm going to do that when I get home from the hospital. Sounds like you are doing super!!

I can relate to your post so much!! All of your surgery worries are my exact concerns. All I keep thinking is, "what am I doing?" and "I have done so well on preop, I should just be able to continue." But in reality, that would only last for like a month or so. I also have only told very few people because of negativity. I feel the less people that know the better. I don't need to be judged. Phew, I'm just a bottle of nerves

That's great!! I'm so glad you are doing and feeling great. I go in on Wed. to get done. Very nervous, but excited as well. Just becareful with the solid foods. The reason you are not to be eating solids is because your stomach needs to heal. Best of luck to you!!

Wow, I'm glad you are okay after that. Good luck on your liquid diet. I go in on Wednesday to get sleeved! I think I'm going to do an all liquid diet tomorrow.

Happy to hear from you! Yes, the gas pains can be worse than the surgery itself. Don't rush going home! I, too rushed going home after c-section, it turned into a big mess. Got a big ole infection do to not proper resting. When I'm home, I feel like I need to do stuff. Good luck and take it easy! Good luck to you! -
Same here! Let's do it and move onto better things in life.

Proud, Embarrassed Or Horrified?
atkinsoncl replied to Queen of Crop's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
Proud, very proud!! -
My preop doesn't consist of liquids, but may do the two day liquid just to be sure all is good.
-
I know, thank you! I think it's just the fear of the unknown, I guess. Plus, my daughter (she's 8) is becoming worried. I can feel it. She's stuck to me like glue...so that makes it harder for me.

What Should I Pack?
atkinsoncl replied to mommyinneed's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Thank you!! I definately will post when I get home! I'm going to have withdrawl from this site while I'm gone . I have found the best support in you all. -
i didn't need to do a liquid diet. My surgeon requires a low-fat Atkins diet for two weeks. Is your surgeon requiring the liquid diet? Count back two weeks from your surgery date and that's when your diet will start. If you are doing liquid, you will change to all liquids on that day.

Wish I had 1/2 of your energy right now. My emotions are all over the place! April 4 is coming really quickly.
