LuhMa 1 Posted July 15, 2017 Hi guys... new here!! 34 year old mother and wife from the UK! 3 more sleeps until surgery and I am getting very nervous!!! Have found the pre op diet a tough one - never realised how much of a true issue I had with food! Have stuck at it however as terrified of my liver not being suitable for surgery!! I have two young children - age 2 and 6 - it will be my first night away from them so I hope they'll be ok! Just got to keep remembering I am doing this for us all, for a better life for us all! I guess I just wondered if anyone has any tips for before / after surgery! Eeeek!Much love x Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hmills653 365 Posted July 15, 2017 Yay! Congrats. I was super nervous to the closer it got. Just remember you'll feel better with each week that passes. 1 LuhMa reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sunmeadow 82 Posted July 15, 2017 I'm down to 2, though I hadn't thought of it that way. I'm in clean and prep mode so I'm not really given my myself time to be nervous.I've read everything and prepared everything as much as I can. I'm so ready to take the next step that I'm looking forward to it more than anything.I'm sure I'll have plenty of time to get truly anxious Sunday night and Monday morning.I'm doing ok on the pre-op diet. It kind of feels like I've always eaten this way at this point, though pictures of food still jolt me into really wanting something delicious and sugar free Jello isn't it. Lol. 1 LuhMa reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GotProlactinoma 458 Posted July 17, 2017 Today I am three sleeps out, too. Nervous too and getting ready to fly to surgery city tomorrow early. I have a 5 year old and she will be with me and my adult son on the surgery trip. tonight I finally did my "before" photos and measurements. Sobering. But hey, it will be amazing in a few months to have them. Good luck to all my fellow sleevers this week. 1 LuhMa reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
