Q2theT 17 Posted June 28, 2014 I can't believe how close we're getting! I feel like I still have so much to do in the next couple of days. I'm due at the hospital at 5:15 on Tuesday for a 7:15 surgery. The liquid diet had been so much easier than I thought - i'm amazed! The first day was the worst and it's been manageable since then. I'm actually down about 14 pounds! Counting the hours till Tuesday... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kimber262 2 Posted June 29, 2014 I cried yesterday on the way home from Sam's Club. I'm sure it's normal as we have so many emotions going through us right now! 2 more days!! Starting my clear diet today! Before you know it we'll be on the "Post side"! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jessica.O 47 Posted June 29, 2014 I am also July 1 but I'm having the bypass, not the sleeve. My preop diet is three days of Clear Liquids only. So clear juice, Water, broth, and Jello. It's day two this diet and although I'm very hungry I'm finding it easier than I had anticipated. I'm a little irritable but not "hangry" like I thought I would be. The icing on the cake? Started my period today, too.... I wish I could just sleep until Tuesday!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JCsMamaBear 58 Posted June 30, 2014 Working today, but when I get home tonight I'm packing for the hospital. My husband has to take me in at midnight and my surgery is at 8:30am!!! So excited and a little nervous. I've lost 8.5 lbs on the pre-op diet, but my TOM hit yesterday so I like to think it's really more. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lucky27 2 Posted June 30, 2014 I am scheduled for tomorrow, July 1 as well. I am petrified. I am so emotional over the last week. I have done all the prep work including intense therapy and still nervous. I am not even sure what I am most nervous about. Any tips on how to calm down before tomorrow am? I pampered myself all weekend it helped but now it's Monday. On a good note, I am wearing a skirt I haven't worn in months because I lost 10 pounds from my two weeks of the pre-op diet.

Pugmadkate 61 Posted June 30, 2014 To calm myself down, I just remind myself of all the prep work I've done and to trust in the process. Best of luck to us all! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lucky27 2 Posted June 30, 2014 Thanks :-) I unfortunately probably won't be calm until post surgery when I feel my body is 'ok'. I don't care about what I am giving up at this point because I know the gains far outweigh the bad. I wish everyone an easy surgery with a quick recovery????????????.
