Thanks for that. I needed to hear that. Lol. I want to crawl in bed until it's over

I think I'm gonna go to the gym tomorrow. I gotta earn some Extra calories. Lol.

Thanks. I have been trying to do things to Take my mind off of it. And honestly the urge comes and goes. I am trying to stay strong. Only four days left. Wish it would just come on already. What is ur date?

It's not a lot in comparison to what I'm used to eating. I have eaten a lot of Greek yogurt. Grilled chicken. Veggies. Trying to get protein and eat mostly healthy. Like I said I don't know if it's a mind game I'm playing with myself just knowing I can't have what I want and making me feel hungry.

I am totally struggling on my pre-op diet. I feel really hungry. I am supposed to be eating under 1500 cals a day. I don't know if it's true hunger or just because I know I can't have certain things but it's been difficult. 4 days and counting til d-day. lol

My surgery is also March 31st. At this point I wish it would just come on. I'm so tired of thinking about it and worrying. 4 days and counting. Lol.

Has anyone else has this problem? My surgery is scheduled for March 31st and if I don't get it up before then won't be able to have surgery. Just wondered if anyone else had this issue and how long it took it to come up?

Thank you! Mine wasn't incredibly low. I think normal is 3.5 and mine was 3.0. So I basically have a week to get it up .5. lol. Hopefully my pcp is going to give me a supplement. Thanks for all your help!

I'm not having a revision, I'm actually having my first surgery. I'm going to have the sleeve done. But my surgery date is March 31st. Maybe we could be sleeve buddies. Haha

My surgery date is March 31st as well. I'm so ready and excited for this journey to move forward! I am March 31st also. Will be nice to have someone to follow along with after surgery.

I am getting sleeved on March 31st. I've read a bunch of post on here about drainage tubes. What is that? How long did it stay in? Does everyone get one ?

I completely understand where you are coming from. I have been on this journey since October and finally got my surgery date. March 31st. It's coming up soon. I have had so many different emotions since I got the news I don't know what to do with myself. I keep telling myself you are going to do this and move on. Your not going to give up. But it is very intimidating. But at the end of the day I need this for myself. My starting weight was around 353. I am down around 327 right now. I can't wait to be on the other side of the circle. The losers circle. Lol. Good luck! You can do this!

Thanks guys. My friend had her surgery in December and didn't have a tube. So I was wondering what they were like.

So- did they at least put your catheter in after you were already under? Lol.

Finally got my date today.....insurance approved me In 2 days!!!!!! March 31st I'm getting sleeved!!!!!! Yay!!!!

I am awaiting "not so patiently" for mine to be approved. Hopefully will have my surgery by the end of the month. *fingers crossed*
