TOMORROW's the BIG DAY!



Recommended Posts

Ok so everything just became real for me 2 days ago. I started to have second thoughts then got over it.. I don't have any major health problems but I'm afraid of developing them so this is the reason why I chose to have this surgery. Now I started thinking about the losing part which believe me I'm SOOOOO excited about, but at the same time scared. I've never EVER been thin in my entire life so I have absolutely no idea of what that is like. I know to some I might sound dumb but is anyone having the same feelings??

I am 3 days away from surgery. I, too, started to second guess myself yesterday. I was soooooo hungry and sick feeling that I didnt care anymore if I had the surgery or not, so I ate. I made pretty good choices and am now certain I still want to go through with this. These 5 days of shakes/liquids is just harder than I thought it would be. I was never been thin either, but look forward to being there one day soon. Good luck to you, You will be fine.

In right there with you. I'm scheduled to arrive at 5:30 and surgery at 7:30. I've had many thoughts of maybe I shouldn't do this or what do you think your doing?? I too have not been thin/ healthy for a long time. When I see the before and after pics that's what motivates me. I'm other wise healthy besides from being fat. Just the last couple of years when my weight has crept up to its highest my Bp been going higher sugar levels going up getting more outta breath when walking..etc..

I'm so ready! Yes it's ok to be scared and I'm sure well have over regrets after its done. But we're gonna look awesome and feel great! Good luck to you tomorrow. Maybe we can catchup when were in the hospital. :-)

I'm having surgery on Tuesday, but I guess I'm extra-anxious because I started second guessing myself on Thursday!! I'm through most of that now, but I have been having many of the same fears. I've been overweight since before puberty, so I have no idea what I look like at a healthy weight. I'm sure it will bring with it a slew of emotional issues. I'm looking into starting with a therapist who specializes in disordered eating to help me through the transition. Good luck to all of us getting sleeved this week :)

My surgery is tomorrow as well. I have to be there at 6:30am then my surgery is at 8. I'm nervous and excited. I have been where everyone else is at where am I doing the right thing should I be doing this...etc. but I figure I have put in all this time and energy and I'm very excited to see the results. Now when I go in for surgery or they take me back my calm nerves may shatter and I may be a bawling mess of emotions but we will have to see. I just figure I won't sleep tonight because reality will hit

Your all gonna be fine, I second guessed myself all the way up till I was laying in the bed waiting for the anesthesiologist. Once I got that pre shot I knew there was no backing out. Now, almost 6 months later, I feel blessed that I got the opportunity to have this life saving procedure. All of you will be back on this site months later reading newbies worried about surgery date and thinking to yourselves its gonna be a breeze for these rookies and they'll be loving life in a few months.

I think many people have felt the same way. I know I had super anxiety a day or two before. But it's over before u know it. I'm praying for you all that are having surgery soon and you'll do just fine!

I had surgery this last Wednesday. I will tell you I called Tuesday night and was debating cancelling my surgery. I didn't. Day 1 I slept most of the day but walked anytime I was up. Day 2 I slept on and off and walked. Day 3 I was holding down fluids and still walking. When people say each day gets better they aren't lying its the truth. You will be happy you have commited to changing your life! I had a lot of apprehension prior to surgery but don't regret it now. Each day is getting easier! Good luck to those of you having surgery soon!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
