Seela

Well, it's the night before my surgery and I am so exhausted the only time I even moved all day was to get up to go to the bathroom. I've been very emotional, crying all day, short fuse. I've been so busy and excited, my mood today was unexpected. I'm supposed to take a shower with hibicleanse tonight and in the morning but I don't even feel like moving. Guess I'm gonna have to force myself to get up. I feel like I don't want to even have the surgery. I haven't felt this way before today. Cold feet I guess.

Thank you for the prayer. I am also praying for all us sleepers. Amen.

I'm so glad you came through it so easily. My surg is in the morning and I'm praying I come through it as well as you.

I'm 5'4 245 lbs size tight 18. I'm one of the Lucky ones who tends to loose weight and gain it evenly all over. I hear all the time "you don't seem that over weight". I don't get it. When I seeladavidsalon a picture I'm in I can be in front of two people and I don't even look like a normal person. I think there is just too much political correctness and somehow "fat" became a bad word.

No.. 10 day liquid pre op.. Today's the last day and I'm so exhausted and emotional I can bar ally move

Me too... Monday at 11am! Anybody else feeling exhausted and emotional day before surgery?

Si I'm near the end of me 10 day liquid protein diet. 4 days in I was down 8.5 lbs...all water weight I assume. Now at day 9 and the last couple if days its actually creeped back up about 1.5 lbs. My head really does understand the physics of all this, but I can't help but worry that I won't loose any weight with this surgery. I mean if "drinking approx 500 calories a day won't produce steady weight loss then I don't know what will!

The week before my preop diet I practically ate myself sick! I'm an all or nothing kind of girl so I drank as much diet pepsi as I could until 11:59 pm and ate two bags of stacys cinnamon sugar pita chips! Those are things I will never consume again. Now that I'm on day 9 of preop I don't miss any of it.. I just want a hamburger! ! Lol...monday is the big day. I have a great time slot check in at 11:00 am... not to early but not gonna starve all day either. Good luck to all!

I'm the triplet for the 21st! I'm on a 10 day liquid protein diet...not even hungry anymore. .. going to pick up my meds at pharmacy today. Looking forward to an iv so I can get hydrated which no amount of drinking water seems to help. I am trying to convince myself that I will absolutely not be nauseous after surgery! Good luck to all!

I decided I'm proud of my decision and well informed. I would rather be open and receive all the well wishes and prayers then worry about the few jerks out there. I believe this is the right option for me just as others may believe ots not. Beautiful thing about living in America is we can all believe in different things and still get along. ..

Ok.. so my surgery is on 10/21 and I started my m 10 day liquid diet on the 11th. I am only gettong around 540 or so calories a day and 80-100+ g protein. Does that sound right? How many od those protein drinks are you supposed to have in a day? Day 2-3 was only really hard in the evening, better tonight.. I haven't cheated but I've come really close. Down 8.5lbs since fri

I go in on Monday 21st. I'm not really nervous or scared just want to getit over with... I'm so ready for a tablespoon of benderized chicken!

Yeah its been an entire week... two days to go! Not hungry any more but tired. It doesn't seem to matter how much water I drink I can't seem to get hydrated... Monday can't come soon enough.

I agree. I'm luck I really like the shakes, I hope that continues after surgery. Getting ready for my last pre op! Getting nervous

I just can't wait to be photographed, weighed, traced and squeeled at! Monday seems really far away right now. I'm kinda scared but mostly just hungry. I'd give almost anything for an egg roll from that little place down the street. I auppose ill never eat another egg roll again. Lol...Going to bed. Hungry. Again.

Amen!

I know all are given different instructions. .. that being said.. my surgeon said the gas strips movethe gas in the wrong directin which can ultimately cause more pain. Walk it off... lol

Probably... I'm pretty sure I signed something to that effect a few months ago.. but also for my file. I'm sort of dreding all the hoopla more than anything else right now

Ahh.bbq sauce... I can smell it LOL... good luck... eveyday I'm on this awful pre op diet I wake up in the morning hoping to be a size seven! I keep thinking about all the stuff I used to eat and I'm only getting like 500-600 calories now and shouldn't I just be skinny yet? That even sounds stupid to me... but whatever.. a girl can dream!

I would wish you luck, but no need. .. you're gonna do grrrreat!

Congrats!!! Hope your running around very soon. I'm up on Monday. .. yikes!

I had my first dr appt almost two years ago. My surgeon is a client at my hair salon... so its in my face every 4 weeks. He finally got me to his seminar and into his office. He tried to talk me into bypass but I have known too many people with bypass and... no thanks! So I put it out of my mind but continued to research vsg. Early this summer we had a change of insurance plans. While looking through it I noticed vsg was covered. I went back to my surgeon and have been researching and preping ever since. My surgery is on monday and I can't wait. Even this damn pre op diet can't get me down now! And... at 250lbs obviously food is a major issue and always will be. I just want the chance to be in control for once

Also.. I think jkg should lay off the drugs...

Funny.. I've told just about everyone and the only people who have given me a hard time are the skinny over achiever types... you know... so skinny the still look like a sickly 12year old at 40... they are SO sure I could lose all this weight with just a few small changes in my diet. I just thank them for their concern and say... next time I see you ill be skinnier! I then get a very concerned look as I walk away smiling and glad that at least I'm not shaped like a 12 year old boy ... most everyone is excited for me
