nerves are really kicking in

Well, my fellow July 2nd sleevers, how are you doing? I hope your diet for the day, whatever it might be, is going well!

I'm luckily not one of the folks who have to do clears today, but honestly, my poor tummy is tied in knots right now and I'm not hungry anyhow.

I'm not second guessing myself at this point - I'm solid with getting this done and I am not having any serious doubts that is the right thing to do. I'm just having a hard time distracting myself from the fact that 75% of my stomach will be gone by this time tomorrow.

I think I'll go get my hair done, and maybe get a pedicure. Perhaps that will be sufficient to distract me for a few hours!

I too am thinking the same thing. My surgery is not until the 25th, but I am reading all of these books. I always believe the knowledge is power, but losing 85% of my stomach voluntarily is kind of scary. I've tried many diets, was successful, then rewarded my self with eating anything i wanted and gained all the weight, plus more. I am totally happy with my decision to have the sleeve and stop all the madness. I just hope i have a successful story to tell after all this is done.
