July 29th Sleevers....

[Texas Gal 2]

Well, we made it and tomorrow is our big day. I am so ready to be on the other side and healed. I feel like a little kid going to Disney World. Hey...at least I would fit in the seats of the rides before too long. There's a positive. I went for Pre-Op yesterday and my nurse has the sleeve. She is 4 months out and is down 50 lbs. She told me EVERYTHING to expect but it is the exact same as everything I've read on here. I am SO THANKFUL for this forum.....SO, SO, SO THANKFUL!!!

I don't know about the rest of you July 29th Sleevers but this Pre-Op diet has me pretty much exhausted. I started the liquid diet on Sunday....I will NOT lie on here....I did GREAT until that night and I had a heaping tablespoon of Peanut Butter. I became very tired but for some reason and I couldn't sleep. On Monday, I found out that I didn't have to be on Clear liquids only for the entire pre-op diet so I had some Cream of chicken Soup and later I had some Tomato Basil Soup....again, no lying....I had a little bread with the Tomato Soup (maybe 1 slice if that). Still feeling tired and weak. Tuesday, I stuck to it beautifully but was tired. Wednesday, beautifully as well...still tired. So here I am the day before with Clear Liquids only and I am absolutely EXHAUSTED! I just want to take a nap and it's only 9:00am. How have the rest of you felt during the pre-op diet?

I go to the hospital tomorrow at 7:00am and surgery is 'scheduled' for 9:00am...we'll see how that goes - you know how Dr's are about being on time. I wish each and everyone of the July 29th Sleevers good luck! And all of the others as well. What a journey we are about to embark upon. See you on the other side.......................................................

My surgery is also in the morning, 9:30 am on July 29th. The pre-op diet has been exhausting. I feel like I have so much to do to get ready but no energy to get it all accomplished. There is also a two day clear liquid pre-op so I am going into the second day and it isn't as bad as I thought. I feel nervous and excited. It has been hard to concentrate at work this week but one more day, today. When I woke up this morning, I told my husband that it was my last chubby day...he laughed and agreed with me.

Good luck to everyone getting the sleeve tomorrow. I hope all goes well and you all have a speedy and easy recovery.
