Awesome!! I’m getting more nervous the closer it gets. I had my pre op Thursday and signed the consent papers...made it more real!

YAY EVERYONE! And welcome to all the new May sleevers/bypassers posting here. We are so close now!

I only have 3 days to go (my mum and sister were shocked yesterday when they realised how soon it is!) and still haven't been hit by any pre-surgery nerves. I'm hoping that my certainty that this is the right direction for me prevents stressing, plus I've had anesthesia a couple of times (post miscarriage emergency D&C, uterine cyst removal, emergency c-section) it will be nice going under for something PLANNED and not a scary emergency!

We had an impromptu family dinner at my house last night after my brothers birthday BBQ in the park as his partner was struggling with lack of sleep with their 3 week old newborn and I offered for everyone to come here and let my brother's partner rest. Had a lovely afternoon and evening with my brothers family, my sister and my mum, and they loved the dinner I cooked, asking for the recipe for the roast chicken wings. I'm so glad I've still been able to have regular meat & veg dinners on my pre-op.. it makes family dinners a lot easier! - I did have to give the delicious tasty seasoned skin from my 2 chicken wings to my husband to devour though - they lasted about 1.5 seconds on his plate LOL.

I've been a little more tired the past few days (probably because I've dropped from half real, half Decaf to a full decaf coffee in the mornings) but otherwise feeling far better than I would have expected while running at 600-800 calories a day on the pre-op, and I'm only feeling actual physical hunger shortly before lunch and dinner. While I couldn't tolerate the honeycomb flavour, I was happy to find the sample of vanilla formulite Meal Replacement I ordered goes down fine, the same as the choc-hazelnut formulite I've been having for lunch (I use Aussie brand formulite instead of Optifast because it is stevia sweetened, not aspartame, and is lower carb with 34g Protein per serve versus optifast 20g). I'm still just having a 200ml 1% milk coffee and a scrambled egg for Breakfast.

My chewable bnmulti calcium&Vitamin D tablets arrived the other day and I'm super glad that they taste quite decent, I was worried I'd be forcing down something like the fake saccharine orange tasting chewable Vitamin C tablets (which I hate) 3 times a day separate from meals (to avoid clashing with iron/multivitamin supplements with meals). I hate the chewable Multivitamin (which tastes fake orange) but will be switching from those to the bnmulti capsules as soon as I can tolerate them post op.

I almost have all my stuff organised for my hospital stay (minimum 3 nights with my surgeon) - comfy clothes, ear plugs, sleep eye mask, dissolvable semithicone (like American Gas-X) to help with gas pains, comfy slippers, a few bottles of ready-to-drink protein waters, some books to read ROLL ON WEDNESDAY OP DAY!!!

You’ll start a 2 week partial liquid diet. Two Protein Shakes a day & a lean cuisine for dinner. I’m opting to do straight liquid to get used to doing it after surgery.

You’ll also get a body wash for the night before surgery & a bottle of Gatorade for the night & morning before surgery

Thank you . I am so stressed about making my goal weight. I am so right on it. But I'm still nervous
