Topic: RE: Mixed Emotions
This is how I am feeling, before I was just plain excited. Now that I'm two days away, I am so so very scared. I know why I'm doing this and am glad for it, but mentally preparing for the change when it's suddenly here is hard. I've been waiting to do this since March, I've been preparing myself for months but I think nerves are just taking over now. They're taking over so much, I've been getting the feeling of "nesting" and want to just clean and organize. It's so strange or maybe it's just what I do to cope with high anxiety.
You are most definitely not alone. =)

Hi!! Wow yes almost here!!! 
I was put on 5 total shakes or bars & small meal 5 oz. meat & 2 cups of certain veggies. It's not that bad around 1-2 I got really hungry & that was the worste in the beginning, so I just ate my protein bar at that time, which I really don't like!! I must admit, I did cheat twice, but high protein & haven't had any carbs!! a bite only!! I have lost 12 lbs, not sure if thats good or not, but it is what it is!! Yes I'm with you on that one, the TV is the devil...LOL good luck on your labs & EKG!!
Keep me posted on how everything goes. We are here to support eachother & I'm glad for this website...

Welcome! I too am being sleeved on Oct 31st. I start my liquids on 10/17/11 and feel the same way. Like I need to eat as much of all my favs as I want. Don't know why. It's not like I want ever be able to eat them again... I guess its all part of that head hunger and emotions we have to learn to deal with. Best of luck to you on your journey!!

Hi Maria,
Welcome. Make sure you check out the vsg forum. You may want to post your questions there as well, due to this one being brand new. I am scheduled for surgery 10/17. I am starting my liquid diet on Monday, so yes I want everything this weekend! It doesn't make sense, because we can eat after surgery. It just won't be for a while and it will never be the same amount again. I have blogged about my experiences along the way and will continue to add as surgery approaches and passes if you are interested in wadding through my brain...lol. Best of luck on your surgery in Costa Rica. I can't wait till I start traveling to amazing places. My first trip will be when I reach goal...maybe in 1 year to 1 1/2 years. As for the drain, my surgeon doesn't use them unless necessary. A lot of people have drains post op. It just helps with draining excess fluid. As for the socks, they are to help keep circulation flowing and keep blood clots minimized along with swelling. I've never had surgery before, so I'm scared stupid over all of this. I just made out my will and have to get it notarized. I think that is the scariest piece of paper I have ever read...next to the 20 page document I had to read and sign for this surgery. I'm super nervous, so you aren't alone. Good luck to you!
