Got My Date! January 6. Anyone else on or around that date?

[gettinghealthymom1 70]

I've been on my liquid diet for one week and surgery is on the 6th at 7:30 and I should arrive at 5:30am. I'm not sure what's going on but I almost feel zombie like, like I'm waiting for this to happen and I don't believe it until it's done? I've done very well following all instructions but I'm just taking it day by day.

Maybe because I haven't been a "normal" BMI since high school and i know this is going to be such a big year for me. I look at people's pages and I can't imagine me with all those successes! I can't wait for the change but I am just feeling a bit of the nerves I guess. Happy ones, change ones.

Good luck everyone! 2015 is going to be a great year!

Started my liquid diet today. Struggling big time. So cranky and head hurts. Can't wait for bedtime so I can at least sleep through some of this. Lol! How's everyone else doing?

I'm on my 2nd day of pre op diet. It sucks. Yesterday was bad. Today I am at work so not as bad. I just wanted to lay around yesterday. I'm sure I'll get use to it. All the commercials and posts on Facebook about food such tho!!! Good luck on your diet. You can do it!!

Got my surgery time. Scheduled for Monday at 9am, must check-in at 7am...it's getting real. Just got back from a weeks worth of family time (and good ole southern eating, my doc didnt give me a pre-op liquid diet) in Louisiana. Now I must unpack, shop, prep, and get my family (hubby and 2 toddlers) ready for next week in case I am not up to doing much. How long do you all plan to be off work? My doc said it could be anywhere from 3 days to 6 weeks...I'm hoping for one week. Last surgery (Lapband 12.31.2007) I was back to work in a week.

No pre-op diet?!? Lucky!!!!! I'm so hating on you right now!

I had lapband in 2010 and out in June 2014. Both surgeries were on a Wednesday and I was back at work on Monday. My doc said since I was a lapbander he has to take extra precautions with extra staples and a swallow test, so he wants me in the hospital 2 nights instead of just one like his other sleeve patients.

He told me off for 2 weeks. Wants to make sure that I'm ready to go back to work, not just physically but mentally...and to have food and meal plans ready to go. I like the conservative return to work plan, I just hope I don't get bored at home.

@@txprincess why did you have your lapband removed?

It had slipped. I got very sick. Nothing stayed down...nothing. And I let it go for about 6 months because I dropped a lot of weight. But I was very sick. Severely anemic, dehydrated, ran a low grade fever almost constantly. My family intervened and I had it removed. Doctor wouldn't do lapband to sleeve in one surgery due to my stomach being in bad shape. Gave me 6 months to heal and going back under in a few days. Since I had it removed in June, I've gained 85 pounds! So I'm back where I started.

Well, tomorrow is the big day for several of y'all. I wish you all the best in your wls and am hopeful for a speedy recovery for you. I will be starting my 1 day liquid diet in the morning. Hope I stay busy at work so I don't think too much about it. Then Tuesday is the big day for me and several others that it have met on here. I am so excited. I have to be there at 5:30 Tuesday morning. Not sure where I am scheduled in line but oh well, the good thing is I am in line. Headed to bed. Will probably post again tomorrow. Good night all. Sweet dreams.

Checking in for surgery. Surgery is schedule for 9am. Thanks for the positive encouragement...it got real last night. My nerves have been on edge since about 10pm. I'm ready!

[Fallinstar 55]

Well today is the day ladies and gentlemen. For all of you that are having any type of wls, my hope for you is a successful surgery and a speedy recovery. I have been waiting for this for 7 months and it is finally here. I have been anxious for today to get here but now I will have to say that I am a tiny bit nervous. Who wouldn't be? This is a major surgery but best of all, the beginning of our new lives. I am blessed to have such a great group of supporters on here. Just know I am cheering for you all too. Have a blessed day. Will post later.
