Me too! I keep wondering if something will stop me from having my surgery now that it is here! AAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!

I chose the gastric sleeve because I needed something to help me stop over eating. I know that you have to be the one in control, but this will help control me! I also have been very sick, and am still sick. The gastric sleeve had less serious complications for me. I also feel it will aid me in a healthier relationship with food!

I will say a prayer for you hun! Let me know what happens if you can sweetie.

This may not be the healthiest but, I did fat free greek yogurt in the morning with banana mixed in and coffee. lunch was a small salad with fat free dressing only a little dressing serving size. dinner was cabbage stir fried with a little evoo and maybe 1 cup of brown rice. You can have as much cabbage as you want. No salt no sugar. Water to drink. I lost 6 pounds in 4 days. I di s for my last nutrition visit. Hope it helps sweetie!

Excited Nervous and Scare !!!!!! Are you?

You are so welcome! You are in my prayers sweetie. You got this, we got this!

Thank you!

Thank you hun!

My surgeons office told me to wash with antibacterial soap the night before surgery. Does anyone know if it is okay if it is scented too? Second, just supposed to be in the hospital for one night. Should I bring anything? Last question, My surgeon is also going to prepare my hiatal hernia. Do you think their is going to be more pain? Okay, one more question sorry. Can you tell me your experiences when you first woke up in recovery and your first few days home? Thank you all so much!

Thank you I made sure to pack my chapstick and teddy bear!

I don't think we can shut our brains off! All I have been thinking about is surgery. Cleaning the kitchen......surgery. Cleaning the bathroom....surgery. Even going to the bathroom..........surgery. oops! too much information! Good luck and let us know how you are when you can. Saying prayers! I have to be there at 6:15am for 7:30am surgery on Thursday. Now if I can just get my brain to shut off and stop think so much about the surgery. I just have a few more things to get together and I will be ready

Good luck and I will say a prayer for you sweetie! Let us when you can, how you are doing? You got this girl! I have to be there at 6:15am for 7:30 surgery the day after tomorrow. Fingers crossed all goes well...

The surgeons office told me that my surgery was scheduled for 10:00 a.m. and that I had to be at the hospital at 8:00 a.m. But at pre-admission testing at the hospital they said it could change. They would call the night before. The hospital is an hour and 15 minutes away. My family are going up Wednesday night to sleep at a hotel near the hospital.

You too sweetie!

I have head hunger too. Nights are also the worst. That is when my girls are in bed and my cleaning is done. My husband and I like to catch up on our tv watching and snack! Yep, one last trip to the store yesterday after church. I picked up Iron pills that I didn't know I needed til last week. A food scale, popcicles, a couple Protein shots and protein gels to keep in my bag, a strainer for soup, I can't remember what else. I have been prepared for months then my surgery got schedule out about 4 months and it just knocked the air out of me. Anyway those were the lady couple things I hadn't picked up. I would like to have a pill crusher but it wasn't on my list so naturally I didn't remember it in my own ha. It's going to be a little hard to focus at work this week I think. As long as I can control this late evening head hunger for the more nights I should be good!

Beautifully put! I hope we are all feeling great too! I heard about the gas-x-strips too. I don't think they allow them. I wish you all the best and no pain! Eventually we will be skinnier, healthier, and sexier!!!!

You got that right! But I also think any amount of time until the actual surgery is a long time!! I am going around cleaning my house and getting last minute things and going crazy!

You look amazing! Running 6 miles is great Wonderful job!

You look absolutely beautiful! You are doing such an awesome job! Keep going strong girl you got this!

Hi everyone! My surgery is Jan. 15,2015 6 days before my birthday. This is the best birthday present ever! Good luck to everyone and let's all keep in touch! Is everyone nervous?

Sorry it took so long to get back to you. My 7 year old had a bad dream and was crying for me. I am so nervous and excited too! Have you got everything done that you need to do and get?

Having a hard time today also. I woke up with a really bad headache caffeine with draw or lack of food! Glad the Jello helped . I think I am going to try some too. Girl we are going to get through this and be healthy and sexy! I would love to join you all. How?

Thank you, I feel good about the choice of antibacterial scented soap I chose.

Yes,are you too?

Thank you so much everyone has had wonderful suggestions! A lot I never thought of. The large pair of panties is great! I I never thought of that. I am so happy that you really had no pain. Just soreness. I pray that is the same for me.
