Thanks everyone, I finally fell asleep about 1 am but then woke up at 5 am. Shower done, hair done makeup done...oh wait scratch the makeup can't have any on. 20 more minutes and were on the road, thank you again for all the well wishes. Linda

Well it's 11:10 pm here and I'm wide awake, mind you I've been in bed for over an hour. I'm so tired, but the pain in my back going down to the legs is awful. I know it's probably just the jitters knowing I have to get up at 5:30 am to shower and finish packing, Be at hospital at 7:30. Just wondering if anyone else is up tonight...

My surgeon ordered Lortab elixir, all ready filled and ready to go. Wow today is my last day, still no suitcase packed. Don't need much from what I've been reading on here. Here's to a good day today to all the Oct 27-28 sleevers and those who are coming up in a few days good luck too you to.

Great tips, you didn't say how your pain is coming along? How your doing, gosh just sleeved. I have2 more days.good luck in your journey

Hi 27 th sleeves and others, I'm hungry! Are you having problems with this? I'm to do 2 shakes and a 3-4 ounce piece Protien and non starchy veggies. I'm starving, think that's why my head hurts so awful bad.

What about your meds in the hospital? I do take a number of them, does the nurse bring them crushed with something or just sit them there and have at it? lol. I have none that is liquid but the pain med.

And no I've forgotten about my bag, guess I should get one out today and start packing it

Hi Candidate and ladies Yes I have the jitters and a heck of a splitting headache for the past 3 days, with the neck pain to follow. I'd say I am excited and nervous all at the same time. I've even wondered if I'm doing the right thing! The amnestiologists told me I didn't look like I needed this and she shook her head saying they were getting smaller and smaller all the time. But I have lost 16 pounds and it feels good losing that. But there is always the but... If I don't get this done I will gain it back and more! So yes this is the best for me.

I report to the hospital 6:30 am, Monday, I'm feeling really nervous. Have had the same headache for 3 days now.

Welcome home, hope your recovery goes nice and smooth.

My pre op diet consist of 2 shakes and a protein and non starchy vegetable. It's worked for me, surgery is Monday.

Hi 50 ladies, I had my pre admission yesterday and it took 2 hours to complete. But well worth it because now I just hit the door and by pass the admissions desk! Lots of questions about meds your on, lucky I made a list of them and the strength and what time to take them. The rn was so happy I had that made her job and mine easier. Had a ekg and blood work done, and spoke to the anesthesiologist also. She will give me some lala meds before surgery to calm me down, said most who come in for surgery are nervous. I have 4 days left... Will be at hospital at 7:30 for a surgery time of 8:30! Wow it's beginning to be so real.

My 2 week diet consist of a protein and non starchy vegetables, and 2 shakes. I've lost weight on it.

Wow a UK fan and your having surgery same day as I am. Where is your surgery going to be? Mine is at the Flaget hospital in Bardstown. I am totally a UK fan also, men's basketball all the way!

How is your pain levels on this 3-4 days out from surgery? I know everyone is different with pain. I'm asking because I'm having mine done the 27th and on Halloween will have adults and 8 of my grandchildren over for trick or treating! My daughter is worried about it and getting me tired out. My neighborhood is the one they come too to trick or treat. One lives in country and other has houses to far also. We also feed them pizza before they go out. I love Halloween and don't want to cancel.

Hi Almostsleeved, sure you can join in. I'm a grandma with 9 grandchildren! And 2 adult children with their spouses. I have 2 male shizuhs and a male Yorkie also. I'm also getting married Jan 31 and hoping to lose some weight before I get my wedding clothing. I say clothing because I think I would like a bone color suit to wear. I'm too old for a wedding dress so a nice suit should be good for me. I also started this procedure in April and I thought the 6 months would go by so slow but it didn't and now here we are. Good luck to you

Hi Coby20, my surgery is also the 27th, my pre op is today at 1 . It's hard to believe I've been through 6 months now and it finally here. I'm excited and nervous at the same time.

I have gone to Texas Roadhouse for supper once, had a 6 ounce steak and broccoli. Still lost a pound the next day. I've got this week still on diet and I will stick to it like glue!

I am Bipolar and social anxiety, I am getting sleeved on the 27th Oct. I see a psychologist twice a month and psychiatrist every 3 months. They are both on board with this. I had to have a psych eval and a release for the surgery. But so many others having this wls done also get a psych discharge.

Holliwood1980, were all there at some point in time. I have this week left and the closer it gets the more nervous I get, but I'm still excited also. :-) Hang in there what your feeling is normal.

Premier Protien , has 30 grams Protien in one ready to drink shake. I like the chocolate, vanilla and strawberry and cream. They sell at SAMs club not so bad a price. Also can find at Walmart.

Hi jdpick, glad to see you found this forum. It's a very good place to ask questions and get back answers good or bad! My surgery is day before yours, good luck to you and I'll see you on the other side.

Hi Della street, nail polish...my surgeon said none even on toes! I love my nails done, so going to get a manicure and pedi before surgery with no polish

My surgeon recommends 2 Flinstone vitamins with iron a day. Since they are the chewable ones no problem going down.
