I'm in!!!! It's funny how after surgery things are gonna be so different that what we are sayin for so long. Lol

Mine is Bc I have sever sleep apnea and they have to watch anything that puts me out other than the anesthesiologist. I'm just gonna have a jack n coke

I just don't think about that part of it. My biggest fear is the IV. I faint. They scare me. You know what my surgeon said about that? She laughed and said "that's ok, you'll be lying down when u get it" lol. I could worry about it now, but me worrying isn't gonna do anything to change things. So I don't. I'm sure as I get closer, like the day before, I'll start to get more nervous and worry, but I'm gonna just let the excitement in for now.

Awesome!! Great on the walking! Keep being a trooper and continue to keep us updated. Lots of big smiles knowing you're doing so well

Surgeons are used to long surgeries. Mine is also an orthopedic surgeon and has done surgeries that have lasted many hours. I'm not worried about her being tired. I don't think you should either. They break in between. We aren't filed in like cattle to the slaughter. Plus yours may even be one that takes a noon lunch break. Some do. At first I wanted an early surgery Bc I didn't wanna dwell on the surgery for too long before it's done. But I live 3 hrs away, so if mine ends up being later on in the day I'm good with that too. You'll do great and u have us here for support.

I know!!! So exciting!!!

Lol I have Ativan. And Seroquel for anxiety but I never take them. I asked if I could the night before surgery and they said not within 12 hrs of go time Bc it could mess with the anesthesia. Ugh

Pass the Xanax!!

K, so Swanson has these flavor infused broths that are so delicious. If you're tired of regular broths and need a pop then I highly suggest these. The tortilla and hot&sour are very spicy, so you may want to cut them with regular beef or chicken broth. I haven't tried the ginger yet. Adding Protein powder wasn't my favorite thing in the world, but definitely doable.

I know. Isn't it hard enough? Isn't it already a sacrifice. My labs weren't fasting labs so I was ok, but dayum

You sound like my daughter. She text me that she skipped lunch and was so hungry she could snap n kill a family of 12 to raid their cabinets. Yeah.... She's a little dramatic.

No, I'm in Oklahoma. Bariatric Advantage shakes are what my Dr office uses but we don't HAVE to use them. Especially if they make us so sick.

They did the exact same thing to me. After trying several others my nut told me to try premier ready-to-drink and I use those. Yum

Finishing up day 7. I've not really had a problem except for a headache the first couple days. I'm getting lots of protein and low, low carbs so no hunger. You can do this!!!!

Just remember, it's normal to get the last minute jitters. This is a major surgery and is life changing. Just gently remind your wife and yourself WHY you are doing this surgery and the wonderful outcome. Good luck, we'll be here cheering you on. April

I'd have snapped!!! Lol

I did not have a questionnaire. It was more just a one-on-one talk. She wanted to make sure my expectations were realistic, that my bipolar disorder was stable and that I was informed about everything that happens.

You got this, girl!!!!!

Good luck and keep us posted when u can!!!

Hi Chandler! I'm not in high school, but I am going in for my surgery next Tuesday. I'm excited with a little bit of "scared" thrown in there. This is a great support group. If you're looking to talk with just your own age group there is an age-specific forum. I do believe it's under "Gastric sleeve surgery support" Then "age-specific gastric sleeve". But you are more than welcome to post here and we'll offer you as much support as you can believe!! Lol There are several of is that are next Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday and we just try and talk to one another and support one another the best we can along with everyone else.

Good luck today!!!!! Keep us updated when you're able! Lots of good vibes sent to our newest sleevers!!!!

I'll try it with and without protein powder.

I've never had hot & sour soup before so I'm not gonna know. But I know it's gotta be more flavorful than plain broth. Thank God Ken is a chef Bc I have so many seasonings it's an entire cabinet full so I can doctor them up if need be.

I just got them at walmart. I overlooked them at first but the second time I went I saw them. The tortilla is really good. Very spicy. My sister and I cut it with regular chicken broth.

I'm trying to attach it
