Brendymom 19 Posted March 26, 2014 I'm scheduled for April 21st. Could have done earlier. Darn tax season. Dreading the pre-op diet more than the surgery. Mine seems more restrictive than others I've seen. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mine seems more restrictive than others I've seen. I am April 21st too...I'm having second thoughts...anyone else? Not having seconds thoughts but my emotions go from super excited to scared to death. My biggest fears r not waking up after surgery, blood clot, and feeling like I've been hit by a train when I open my eyes in recovery. I think these r normal fears but nothings enough to keep me from getting my sleeve. Nothing scares me as much remaining in this over weight healthy state I'm in currently. Skinny vibes to u and I know u will do great with ur surgery. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DairyFairy42 30 Posted March 26, 2014 Lol all the time, one day convinced no, then something reminds me why I want to do it. What I try to keep in mind is that I know what can go wrong but I'm not going to let fear of the unknown or maybes stop me starting this adventure and opportunity pass me by. Hold the faith and push thru. 2 Sboulie and Malsr reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rhoste 21 Posted March 26, 2014 Curvy what are your stats ? I can totally relate to the worry about "being hit by a train". I don't have the luxury of taking a lot of time off, so I need to hit the ground running! I have heard the surgery to remove and clean up after Lapband and then do sleeve is quite extensive.... Holy moly, that scares me so much..... But like everyone else I have SO many reasons to do this! Hi BMI, joints all sore , always tired, lifestyle diseases creeping up ... And I truly want to look GOOD again... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BrandNewBrandy 79 Posted March 26, 2014 I'm doing preop now and its not that bad. I'm eating about 800 calories a day. Saturday my real preop kicks in and my calories will be less because I'm going to all liquid then. 1 msfitn2014 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nicey2u 228 Posted March 31, 2014 I am scheduled for April 23rd!! I have been trying different Protein shakes...I found the best tasting is Chike! I am only going to be in them the first two weeks post op so I didn't load up on them. Some say your taste changes so we will see if they still taste as good after! Hah I have to be on a three day liquid diet pre op so I will not be having an Easter this year!! Haha I am in NY and very excited! I started feb 7th at 270 and have lost 20 lbs so far. I was require to lose 10 to 15 so I'm happy I could exceed that! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
