I have to arrive at the hospital at 830a tomorrow. At least I will be able to send my kids off to school before I leave. I drank the magnesium about 3hrs ago and I've been shatting my brains out ever since. Gosh I pray that I will be able to sleep tonight and I haven't been able to trust a fart since drinking the magnesium :/

I am also having surgery tomorrow and drank the pico salax at 7..and have to drink another one at 6. How is is possible for a human being to have so much gunk inside them when they have been on liquids only for 4 weeks. I better be down 5 lbs tomorrow morning after all this lol. Will be thinking of u and all the other oct 2 sleevers. I check in at 930 pst

Don't!! I did the same. I would be great for like 3-4 days then just need something to chew. Don't fret it. Get back on track. It's funny, my first "cheat" was also taco meat with some sour cream. I lost 20 lbs on my pre op. just think..some people don't even go on a pre op and have food funerals up until the day of their op. just focus:)

I thought I was getting it easy and instead of one night I'll be in there for two nights

I was talking to the nurse advocate through BCBS and told them I was planning on being home on Friday after surgery Thursday. She said something along the lines of, "Uhm, probably Saturday at the earliest." :(

Don't beat yourself up! I did cheat although I do regret it. I'm down about 13 pounds.

My surgery is tomorrow, and I'm starting to get very nervous and anxious. I was not nervous like this for my Lapland. I'm very scared of complications.

Good luck with your surgery , it's norm to be nervous everything will be fine. I am scared to, and excited all at once.

I can say I am in more discomfort today than yesterday. I think in is because I was so drugged up. It is discomfort a nagging discomfort. I will be able to drink after leak test this morning. Whatever u do Do Not Forget Your Chapstick!!!!! That is the one thing I have used almost every hour. I am no hungry lol! It is a damn shame gotta get my stomach cut out not to feel that! Hope it continues. Thanks again and Good luck to the 10/2 Sleevers!!!

I was nervous too. I cried when I left my husband. I prayed to God because he knows my struggles and why I am doing this. I asked Him for His

Protective covering over me and the doctors. Once I did that I was more at peace.

Today is the day! So nervous and scared. Not so much for the surgery, I'm pretty confident I know what to expect. Surprisingly, I slept last night and could actually go back to sleep now. It's still all pretty surreal. Prayers for my fellow Octosleevers, especially all of my sleeve siblings also beginning their journey today! Will keep everyone posted on my progress! Woot!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
