June 9th Sleeve - Looking for friends!

[IfICanDream 28]

Quick update: I had my very last appointment before my surgery! It was with my primary care physician for surgery clearance. She officially took me off if my last medication, and she said that all of my lab results were better than great! Apparently completely changing my diet and losing 40 pounds has "reset" all of the borderline things that we're going on. I couldn't be happier!

Already planned my last two meals before my official pre-op starts this weekend:

1. Cherry Tomato, avocado, and fresh mozzarella salad with a little balsamic vinegar and lemon juice - AMAZING!

2. Sushi!

I am so excited!

Day 2 of the pre-op diet easier. No headache today. Keeping busy helps a lot. Lots of Water as well. Next week will be more challenging for me. My kids birthdays are Monday and Tuesday. My daughter wants to go to a fondue restaurant! I will not be attending that meal! Luckily the kids are understanding. I am determined to stick to what the doctor has told me:)

I think I had a day of nerves, now I am pretty calm, last preop appt with dr tomorrow, and i start my preop diet on Saturday.

I have a 2 hour preop class on Monday and my final appt with surgeon on Thursday next week. It's all coming so fast. Then on to surgery on the 9th! Only 12 more days! I'm really nervous about the surgery, I've never had surgery. I'm trying not to over think it or I will be a basket case by the 9th:)

I've found I'm too busy to over think anything.....just breath. I am so ready to start my new life, we are getting done on the same day

The dill pickle trick was fantastic. For me so far the trick is lots of crushed ice in my Protein shakes.

Hubby found an experimental produce that goes thru your throat and is reversible. He was thinking I should look into it. Dude, I'm committed to this. Let's not second guess at the 11th hour

Hi add me! I am June 10th!

[jennyinky 38]

I just got scheduled today for June 9 as well! Excited and nervous. I've been on a preop diet for a few weeks now but it isn't too bad. Protein and veggies. I don't know what my diet just before surgery is yet, but should find out tomorrow. . Congrats all!

Hello all!

I am scheduled for June 9th at 10:30am. Been researching this for over two years and made a commitment one year ago to move forward with it.

I am scared and excited. I've already canceled two surgery dates over the past year. Lots of personal issues to deal with, lots of second guessing myself, lot of fear about how happy I will be after loosing the ability to eat a huge plateful of food. I think i have finally worked through most of my fears, one at a time, and am confident that this IS the right decision for me.

I am ready!

My surgery date is June 10 and I started my liquid diet as of yesterday when they told me to I didn't know my doctor was going to tell me to lose 10 pounds before surgery. Ughh but I could do it. I just thought I was going to be able to eat everything before my surgery I guess not. lol

I hear ya Butterflyhigh! I think it's finally time to do this. I hope this date is the one that works for you! If you ever need someone to talk to, I'm here for you. I go in at 12:30 on the 9th, so I'll be thinking about all of you going in earlier in the day!

I'm on day 4 of a 10 day pre-op and I'm not having any bathroom issues - in fact, the opposite, rather than going daily, it's every other or third day. Considering starting the benefiber a bit early.

[MommaCEO 45]

Surprisingly no bathroom issues either. I am still regular too. Always have been. We will see how the next days pan out.

I've lost about 4 pounds in 3 days.

So far not too bad. I skipped on a social outing last night. Didn't feel strong enough to resist baskets of tortillas chips and salsa.

[MommaCEO 45]

Day 4 is going rough. Missing food, sick of shakes. Looking for alternatives.

I made noodle Soup and strained the noodles. Helped. Family went to dinner and I skipped. Not strong enough today, too weak.
