lacylou 21 Posted January 9, 2017 I am right there with you. I go in the 25th. I have been keeping myself very busy to not think about it too much. I spent the day getting the house organized and errands to prepare for a 2 week down time. Feels like the "nesting" instinct that expecting moms go through. Staying busy will pass the time. I am not required a pre-op diet but figure what the hell. It will give me a chance to try different Protein shakes and clear the carb and caffeine headaches ahead of time. Any loss before surgery is a bonus. Time will fly, I'm just staying busy! Good luck, keep us posted!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LittleBill 2,231 Posted January 9, 2017 I thought I was going to die. But I didn't. How's that for positive? It was the best possible outcome. Seriously. I am very happy I did it, and would do it again in a heartbeat. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Doshea5 9 Posted January 10, 2017 (edited) I had the sleeve done Dec 12th and I have no regrets. So happy I did this. Feel like I've taken my life back and feel more in control than I ever have.

HeidiSue2009 48 Posted January 10, 2017 I wasn't nervous until I woke up on my surgery day. I cried. I was scared! But I got dressed and went to the hospital. I had RNY on 12/21. My surgery went very well. No complications. I stayed overnight and was discharged the next day. Keep walking, take your meds, and sip your Water....its your way to recovery!

somuchmore 4 Posted January 10, 2017 I said the same thing, @lacylou. It feels just like nesting. I am scheduled for the 24th. I have been preparing freezer meals for my family, cleaning, organizing, making lists, scheduling people to get my kids to and fro, and working on changing my eating habits a little at the time. I don't have a diet to do either except Clear Liquids the day before, but I've been cutting back, cutting down on carbs and caffeine (yikes), and have been completely free of sodas and sweet tea for several weeks now. It's getting real! Good luck and prayers to everyone with upcoming surgery dates. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
