Hi..i understand exactly how you fill. I am going through it too "fear of failure" for the past couple weeks I am not sleeping or even thinking right. Very anxious. I talked to the psychiatric for the group and she said that is better to experience this emotions now before surgery, because you are preparing the emotional part of yourself it will prevent depresion after the surgery, it is like grieving the anticipated change. Hang in there its going to be fine

I know I'm ready! Started packing yesterday since it was a good distraction to those eating that "bad for you but yet so delicious" food! I only packed a comfy pair of PJ's, robe, slippers, Chapstick, something to wear home, my favorite blankie and my iPhone charger. That just about covered my husbands needs when he went through this last year. My turn! Good luck everyone!!!

Good morning my fellow July 8th sleevers.

It's exciting to just have the last three days / last weekend, before our new self. I thought it was going to be difficult staying off all the bad holiday foods, but maybe due to the nerves it has been rather easy. I hope you all enjoyed a nice holiday yesterday.

My mission for this weekend is the following:

pack my bag, still need to get some slippers.

get a massage ( To be as relaxed as possible)

Clean my house really well

And truly just enjoy this special count down with my family. I have a daughter who is 19, who she and I share the same struggle with weight, except I, with the medical problems that come with it. She is very excited for me. Our goal is to start a journey together. Me with my sleeve and she with a strong will. My husband is also very supportive. I hope I can influence my family transition into improved eating habits, so that our family of five can overall improve to better health.

Anyone like to share what their weekend count down must do is?

I'm spending it with my family and quite honestly until Sunday - food funeral-Ing my face off. Bad? Yes. But this is how I'm dealing with this...knowing full well that come Sunday am (when i have to start clear liquids) life changes. For the better.

Even though I couldn't partake in all of the amazing cocktails with my cousins yesterday I played with their kids (reminding me that I will have more energy for them) and talked about my new life. My cousins are like my siblings. They helped me not think of the nerves and only think of the amazing journey ahead. Anything with something is worth working for. And I'm going to work my ass off.

I'm soooooo hungry (clear liquid diet since Monday) I hope this weekend Flys by super fast. I'm so ready to be sleeved!

So tomorrow (sat), my last thing to do for pre op is go to the hospital pre-register get a second pregnancy test and a blood type screening for two units of blood just in case. They will put a little red band on my wrist, give me the magic cleanser for my tummy and Monday morning I'll be at the hospital at 8:00 for a 10:00 surgery!! Yayyyyy!!!

Praying that everyone has a noneventful surgery with a safe recovery♡

      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.
