Had my preop today, not once did I see the surgeon so I had no need to worry! My surgery is at 1pm Monday but have to be there by 11am. Off to shop now..

Whew! Had me worried there lol

Lucky! I'm hoping I will be first case as well. I find out today

Yes! If the surgeon tells me I can't have the surgery I'm going to be crushed. 2.5 hrs and i will find out what he says! Did you get your call?

glad to know others feel the same. I'm so glad theres a place to share the excitment, otherwise I think my hubby would go insane (jk he's excited for me too).

YES!!! I'm having a horrible time staying asleep. I fall asleep late and wake up early. It feels like when I was a little kid and excited for christmas.

Surgery is on Monday (25th) and I have my preop tomorrow. Im so nervous something may stop it. I don't think I'll believe this is real until I wake up from surgery!

Read lables, measure your food and get the Myfitnesspal app and track everything you eat. Good luck!

I'm packing, clothes, socks, pillow (hate the ones there), hair brush and hair ties, iPad (loaded with movies) and ear buds, chargers, and that's it! So excited!!!

Oh no! That must have been miserable. I skip mine so it was kinda ironic that I got it anyways and it's hanging on (spotting but still annoying)

Will they still do the surgery if you’re menstruating?? Normally I change out my BC (ring) every 3 weeks so I skip my period (horrible cramps/cysts) but this month I totally spaced and started on the 17th. I quickly replaced it so it would stop but my body seems to be stubborn and hasn’t yet. My surgery is on Monday (YAY), so if it doesn’t stop by then will they cancel? I can’t think of any logical reason why they would, but I’m so afraid of getting the surgery canceled.

GummyTummy Great suggestions! I've already bought my night outfits for the hospital stay but now that i think of it im not sure i got pj pants! That's very unlike me. Ill be sure to remember to get those so my hubby doesn't have to run around afterward. Why big parachute size tho?I will keep the pain med thing in mind. I'd probably try to tough it out.

I havnt had my surgery yet (Monday yay) but my husband has been incredible and is dieting alot with me. He's even excites about it.

Brians 34 - was this RIGHT out of surgery (like first day- 2 weeks), or just in general?

see, this is exactly what i need to know. When i hear walk walk walk im thinking i should do laps around the hospital, not the nurses station lol. Im glad I asked ! Thanks

Good to know. Of course being big thats always my biggest fear. luckily things are slowing down (probably stress related which is releived by all of you, thank you!) so hopefully it wont be needed.

Yay that's so exciting. Good luck!

lmao, do they fit?

Whew! that's a relief!! Thanks for the reassurance. I just want to make sure they have no excuse to reschedule lol

Lmao!!! Great cautionary tale, I'll keep this in mind.

I’m not sleeved yet but im on the pre-op diet and its raised a few questions for me… I’ve heard plenty of people say they average 500-800 calories a day. How are you able to do that and still be able to get in the required 80g of Protein? I’m on a high protein / low carb diet and ive essentially found that if I want to avoid going over the required 30g of carbs then I have to eat protein only foods . So that’s pretty much all I eat and im getting my required 80g of protein, BUT averaging about 1200-1600. Im confused (and slightly panicking)

Thanks for the input, I'll keep all this in mind
