It was not that bad at all. I had it while in hospital for 5 days. The needle is so small its not even a pinch. You have issues that's why you have to give it to yourself so far In advance?

My surgery isn't until feb 28th but I'm so nervous and scared. I keep asking myself am I doing the right thing?? I almost feel like I will loose some part of my identity because being overweight has always been a part of who I am... Sounds silly I am sure.

I understand this....doesn't sounds silly to me.

I got the pre-op diet blues.

I just don't know which Protein flavor to choose.

Everyone around me's eating what they please.

Pizza' date=' fried rice, macaroni and cheese.< /p>

I'm just trying to choke yet another shake down.

Ok look, now they're passing candy around.

I'm about to eat my own shoe.

Yes 14 days 2x a day the needle isnt that bad but just a slight stinging for.5 secs

[ksmith302 11]

They moved my surgery up to 8:45 tomorrow morning. I have to be there at 6:15.

I stayed home today after drinking the citrus of magnesia... but not too much happened. Was it supposed to? I also spent all day arguing with the finance people at the hospital. They wouldn't take my payment over the phone! Do they want my money or not?! And dealing with my surgeon's office because they lost all my bloodwork!! So much stress' date=' but at least I was distracted.

I'm praying for all you February sleevers! This is really scary for me, so if you're scared too, know I'm sending you good vibes![/quote']

I did my surgery 2/13 & got scared that a.m. whatever you do try to relax and watch a movie or do something to relax your body, you def dont want your pressure up tomorrow before or after surgery. It will def delay things. Good luck, and positive thoughts!

After 4 days it gets easier and then just stay clear of restaurants, drive thrus, and just people eating. I could have a few sugar free hard candies and that helped me. I had 3 due to it would make you gassy lol
