2 weeks 3 days away from surgery!

[kmf1021 4]

Hi all!

I am new here. I found this app as I was looking for apps that would joe with support after my gastric sleeve procedure.

I am having sleeve surgery done at 130 on July 22nd. I am SO excited, but nervous

I'm really nervous about the week long liquid fast.

Any tips or ideas to get through that easier would be so appreciated!

I look forward to getting to know everyone!

I am scheduled for RNY on July 18th. At this point I'm not nervous, but I'm sure it will come! I do not have to do the liquid diet, thankfully. I say my doctor Thursday for my H&P and he asked I lose 2 pounds before surgery. I am sticking to my diet and am determined not to cheat!

Good luck with your surgery!!

My weight right now is 284. My assigned goal weight is 180. (I'm 5'10") But I sure will have a party if I see I one in the front of any of it. I haven't seen that since high school!

Best of luck to you all. My date is July 24th. I'm really scared, but luckily, my Mother said she would go with me. At 1st I was going alone. I'm so grateful to my Mom. I start the liquid diet on Thur. I hope I can do it successfully. I'm having a problem with not drinking when I eat. I'm so use to washing it down, especially when it gets stuck. I don't eat on a regular schedule, so Its hard to get my drink in 30 min before. I'm going to have to work really hard on this one. I've been so emotional lately, which is not like me at all. I've been crying. The # of times I've cried in the last 10 yrs. you can count on one hand. I feel like something is wrong with me. I don't feel comfortable with this lack of emotional control. Even though I felt like a mutant for not being able to cry, I felt like that was normal and this isn't. I was thinking of going to the Dr., but when I go, nothing really happens. I got something from my insurance company stating that I need to lose weight due to Metabolic Syndrome, yet they won't pay for weight loss surgery, so Aetna, thanks for nothing. I hate our insurance. It is so terrible. The only reason I keep it is for a catastrophy. Thanks for listening. Sorry I am so emotional. I really don't know why I am and I hope its a phase or something.

That is pretty cool, Mike! I will shoot a little prayer up for you as I go back at 1030, please send one my way! )

Surgery went well! Didn't get I to my room until about 9pm, but my doctor said I should be out of here by dinner time tonight. Have already been on my first walk and am feeling pretty good. Just ordered Breakfast.

[kmf1021 4]

Yay! Glad you are feeling well! How's your pain level?! I'm praying for you!

[nearnermal78 9]

Pain isn't all that bad. The shortness of breath sucks and my gassy tummy rubles is not pleasant.
