Calling January Sleever????

[DaiDai 31]

@mdduffield thank you! I really don't know how'd if make it without you alls support!

[ms_ladybug 24]

I completely agree with DaiDai, I've never been so FREAKING CRANKY in my entire life!!

Today is day 3 of my liquid pre-op diet, 5 days till surgery and time can't go by fast enough!! Trying to stay positive, planning for low-key weekend at home . . . did all my shopping for what I'm taking with me to Surgery Center.

I truly appreciate everyone sharing their journey on this site, it gives me hope + makes me feel better that the emotions + struggle that I'm feeling is completely normal!

I started my preop diet today, I had my shake, Jello, and Water for Breakfast around 8:30am. It is only 11am and I feel nauseous. I am diabetic and I am not sure if that has anything to do with it. I am not hungry but my brain will not shut off, all it is doing is thinking of food! What else can I do to get rid of this feeling?

That's funny that you said that because my sense of smell is really strong too

Stay away from the kitchen. Window shop. Go for a walk. Read a book. Clean your entire house? Haha

Post op will be easier in the hunger dept. ( so I'm told!)

Unfortunately, I still have to get in the kitchen to feed my kids. My husband and oldest daughter are working so I am on my own today. I really am not hungry, it's me just thinking about food nonstop. I feel so dumb right now, I feel like I am weak and can't handle this. PRAYING FOR THE WILL POWER I NEED TO BE SUCCESSFUL I CAN NOT BE THIS UNHEALTHY ANYMORE. ????

Are you going to mexico ? I am so excited

[Veronica Page 488]

I'm glad to see so many people are going to Mexico and are confident with their choices. I'm just sad hardly anyone is going to Mexicali I guess Tijuana was safer but the woman who inspired me to finally get this done went to Mexicali and I just felt that I wanted to go there too. 9 days to go! So close now!

My muscles above my knees ache really bad in the evenings. Kinda makes me afraid that my potassium is low or something. Anyone else have the leg muscle aches on pre op?

yes my muscles hurt and iv had a lot of spasms in my back .

tijuana is cartelville......maybe the surgeons are good but the city is by far not the safest place to be....Mexacali is a good choice , feel good about that .
