Sleeve day is Thursday. Eeeek!

I made a whole list of chores and such to accomplish this weekend. So far, I'm only about 20% done so tomorrow is either gonna be a really long day, or some of these things just aren't gonna get done!

Getting my bags ready - hospital bag and bag of stuff to take to my parents house. I figure I'll let them pamper me for a day or two before I'm home alone.

Took my "before" pics today. Wish I did this 53lbs ago when I started so I could see how much I've already accomplished, but better late than never, right? Taking the pics made it feel so 'real'.

THIS IS ACTUALLY FN HAPPENING!!! YAY!

I'm excited/nervous/scared/anxious/happy - all at once. It's an interesting emotion!

liquid diet is going well. All my hunger went away when I was taken off my bp meds last week. The very next day it was gone, hasn't come back since. I have no idea if the bp meds had anything to do with it or not.

Looking forward to getting the surgery, getting through my stages, and actually having something TO CHEW ON again. :)

Happy Saturday, yall!

Good luck! I understand about your list not getting done. I had a long list of things to get done this weekend and maybe 20% got done. I do have tomorrow!! I can only imagine the list prior to surgery (mine is scheduled for 06/04/13). Best of luck and keep us posted!

I'll be posting my progress, for sure! I'll have my phone handy in the hospital, pretty sure I'll be on this forum if I'm not sleeping or walking around the unit. :)

Good luck to all of you with your upcoming surgeries!

I am up tomorrow morning also, I can relate to it finally feeling REAL! I have been talking about this for months but it seemed like a million years away. Now it's less than 24 hours and I'm nervous, excited, and ready to be over the surgery hump and back to healing. I have a history of blood clots so I'm on the shots and will be edgy until 2 weeks have past, then I'll know the greatest danger is over for me and I can enjoy moving on! Cannot wait for this next phase of life!!!

I was driving this morning, and my brain was working overtime, worrying about the surgery tomorrow, pain, and all my random thoughts,etc..then I turn on my radio and I heard the Swedish House Mafia song saying "Don't you worry, don't you worry child, heaven's got a plan for you." I thought, I am all good, and ready to do this, and the big guy upstairs has my back too!lol I had to share it with everyone!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
