It has been a whirlwind! December 16th here I come.

Castillo,

I am so sorry I missed responding to this post. Oh, how I understand the struggle to see this as reality. For me, I don't think it will feel real until I have my meetings on Monday with the NUT and my care team. I have not really had a lot of things to plan yet, as I don't know what to expect. Today though I took a step forward and bought Gas-X strips and a chewable Multi-Vitamin for post surgery....it's not much, but it made me think that this might really be happening in less than a month!

Hi All of my December Sleeve Buddies!

I just wanted to share how blessed I am feeling this week. My sister showed up at my door with a

tub full of Bariatric goodies. There were small bowls, tiny spoons and forks, popcicle molds,

protien shaker bottles, food storage containers that can be divided up by ounces, a journal, and arecipe book.

Even though I have been making changes to my lifestyle, I have sort of been afraid to look into this kind of stuff because at times I still don't think it is truly going to happen.

Is anyone else feeling this way?

I worry that at the last moment my surgery will be cancelled. I don't know why but I cant see it happening. I'm preparing for it and in a lot of ways I know what to expect but I don't see it for me.

Meglsw,

That is awesome. My surgery was moved up one day, so it is now next Tuesday. Are you on a pre-op diet? I have been for 9 days now. I am so grateful it has not been difficult. I will be praying that your surgery goes well!
