Dec.6th here & my stomach's in knots but excited at the same time.....

I am the 6th as well. I have a terrible headache, probably from stress ( family issues) while trying to get ready for surgery.

I'm scheduled for December 26th. Anyone else on this date? I start my pre op diet on 12/12. I'm truly not nervous. I'm ready to get this over with and start a new (thinner) life. The anticipation is the hardest. I've researched and researched until I'm tired of making lists. I did some shopping this weekend and got a mug warmer, demitasse spoons, cocktail forks, small dishes, a couple of king sized pillows, some REALLY soft pillow cases, a soft cuddly blanket and a new nightgown. I have been researching Protein drinks until I'm blue in the face. I envy all those people who only have to do 1 week preop and those who get to have real food. Figure it is getting me ready for after surgery when I can't eat solid food.

I'm more nervous about the mushy stage. I don't like mushy stuff so figure I'm going to be on these Protein shakes awhile! Good luck to everyone going ahead of me. Please come back and post your results so I know what I need to change. What did you wish you had taken to the hospital? What do you know now that you wished someone would have told you about?

Good luck everyone. Here's to a new us in 2013!I

By the time you get to mushie stage, you may be grateful for the change.

Kim I just messages you to add me to the fb group

I don't like fb. Isn't there a section for when you have your surgery? I thought I saw it lower on the list of topics.

Two more days! 12/6 is almost here and I'm ready for some mush!! I had a week moment and at a chicken nugget I was heating up for my kids last week. OMG it gave me a gall bladder attack. I thought I was gonna die!! I'm so ready to not feel hungry anymore.

I know what you mean but don't set yourself up for defeat. Read some of the post-op section. Some people take a while to get to that stage. Find other ways to calm and relax yourself. Yeah, I know easier said than done especially with kids around but try to make a list of things you can do in different situations.

Today is my day also. I arrived in Mexico yesterday. Ive had many surgeries and the gall boadder was one of them but i am so nervous. They re picking me up from the hotel at 9 am. Please pray for my nerves!

Lifting you up in prayer! I have had a lot of surgeries too. I am hoping that the sleeve will help reduce several of my health issues.

Today is my day too. I am getting ready to head tote hospital in about 10 minutes. My stomach is feeling yucky due to the prep and antibiotics my doc puts you on the day before surgery.

Praying it all goes well! I know the prep is a hassle but it is for a reason. Just keep focusing on the goal.

Day 1 my mandatory 2 week of pre op diet!

So far so good. I miss coffee! I do wish I had some kind of guideline to follow. I only received a kit from Bariatric Advantage. Came with 13 bars and the powder..... How many shakes/servings a day should I have? Anyone else doing the same diet? Any suggestions!!?

I get sleeved on Dec 17th!!

[HELLO ITS ME CAMI 27]

My surgery is on December 12, 2012 at 12 noon. I'm so excited and of course a bit nervous. But, looking forward to starting my new life journey. Wishing all you December sleevers a Merry Christmas and Blessings beyond your belief.

I also have to do a 2 wk pre op. My instructions are to have a Protein Shake 4 times a day with Water in the middle to fill the gaps.
