1st July Sleevers

[Q2theT 17]

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...

WoW....today I'm so emotional. Is anyone just crying? I'm headed to work and hubby was taking kids to a friends to watch the soccer game and I just started crying.

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"!

good luck to us July 1st sleevers I only have to do 1 day pre op diet with liquids but I have been so nervous I have cut down on eating tremendously. I pray we all have a safe and great recovery.

[janeta16 15]

Well, I'm officially on my way! I left home a few hours ago and am now in a hotel very close to the hospital. Bright and early tomorrow I start my pre-op appointments and then Tuesday is it! Wow, July 1st group, we're really close!

[Pugmadkate 61]

Oh, I've been crying too!

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!!

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.

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]

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!

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????????????.
