Next Week Sleevers ? Or Anyone Whom Are Upcoming April Sleevers?

[LitaSoFly 16]

I have to be at the hospital and checked in by 745 tomorrow. I'm really nervous but trying to keep my mind occupied. About the Multivitamins, I was told I could just take Flinstones Complete because they r chewable. Otherwise I know they have gummies too!!

I am new to this site, can not believe I have not been here yet but I am planning to visit often now! I am scheduled for my Sleeve on 4/23 at 5:30 AM! I'm scared. I'm scared about the anesthesia and not waking up (I'm a single mom) and I'm afraid that I can't do it. After my morning visit with our nutritionist, I thought to myself, "OMG, can I even do this? Can I really not eat carbs forever? Can I really exist on liquids alone?" I'm really nervous. I've been on the pre-op diet for one week and after day 3 I was so tired, fatigued and had such a hard time thinking I had to go home from work. After day three, and talking to my doctor, I increased my Protein Shakes but then also ate regular food toward the end of the week. I don't have a lot of support at all so I'm really panicing at the moment!

Tomorrow morning April 16th is mine. I'm nervous but excited at the same time....made it through the 2 weeks pre op diet and got some new protien powder that I can tolerate and I'm ready to go. What really bothers me is the last minute phone calls and suggestions from family and friends telling me not to do the surgery. I've researched and know this is what I want and hope they will realize it is for the best in the long run.

I am glad that others have this problem too. I don't have a lot of support for the surgery. My parents believe that diet and exercises is all I need and I'm just lazy. I've spent years on Jenny Craig (lost a lot of weight and gained it back), some time on Weight Watchers, I'm a stressed out single mom and nothing else has worked. I've spent 9 months in the preparations required by my insurance, but now I am freaking out. And without support, I'm super freaking out! I have a coworker or two that is supportive but they won't be with me while I'm out on leave. My boyfriend and his family are super supportive though, and that's nice. Maybe it'll spur them on to get healthier too!

You will do well. You are not lazy.

I am having surgery on the 23rd also. Until yesterday, I was afraid, too. I am having the surgery because of the health problems I will have if I don't. I concentrated on the health benefits of the surgery and let the rest of it go. Today I am not afraid.

I found this to be a good place to get the support I need.

you will do fine and we will be your moral/emtional support <3 you are doing what is right for you, barely any of my family know I am doing this only a select few for this very reason ....It will all be ok

All right people. Today is my turn. My surgery is today. Getting ready to head to the hospital. Super nervous

[want2look&feelbetter 1]

Ok, I'm here. IV started, blood tests done, xrays done, waiting for surgery. I'm getting really hungry and still have the nervous butterflies!!! I can't believe I'm here. I really can't. It happened so fast!

Mexico is so beautiful to wake up to in the morning. From my 3rd floor hospital room I have a Juarez City Mountain view. Gorgeous! It's sunny and about 71+ today.

Same here. I've been going over everything twice and washing everything in my house (going to mx for a week) so my husband and 11-year old will be prepared while I'm gone. Worried though... I cheated on my preop diet last night. Had a lean meal but should only be on liquids and Protein shakes. Hope I didn't sabatage myself! So stressful when your whole family can eat and you can't. Woke up crying about 4am and haven't been able to go back to sleep because of a headache now! I can't fall apart now! Apparently the nervousness has hit me!!! Did I mess up bad??!!
