My Surgery is Tomorrow May 2nd...Keep Me Company, Please?

[BeautifulMama]

I'm getting sleeved tomorrow at 2pm. I get excited then I get scared, then get excited again. What a roller coaster ride of emotions! Today I went grocery shopping for my partner and our daughter so they would be fully stocked with food while I'm away for 2-3 days...I damn near broke down in the middle of aisle 2, I couldn't believe how incredibly sad I was thinking that after tomorrow I will not be able to eat the way I've always been able to eat. I love food! Food is my comfort, my friend. I think I'm in mourning.--- Don't get me wrong I want this surgery and I'm as ready as one food addict could be, it's just really hard.--- I know I'm being dramatic, but I'm on this damn liquid diet and I'm delirious. LOL
My partner is the only one who know about my surgery so I'm hoping you all will keep me company in the hospital as she will be at home taking care of our daughter.

Keep me in your thoughts,

Susie

Thinking of you and your family. You are going to be just fine. You're doing this for your health, it's a big step toward a brighter life! You are going to do great!

Good luck, Susie. You know your feelings are quite valid. I never thought I'd feel like that, but it happened to me today. I came home aftr a long day at work and saw that my family was eating fish n chips with coleslaw==ANOTHER meal I couldn't share with them! It seems like forever that I've eaten a scrambled egg for breakfast, a low-fat mozzerella cheese stick for snack, a Greek yogurt for lunch, and a bite of chicken with a spoon of mashed potatoes and a teaspoon of brocolli for dinner. I couldn't help feeling depressed and I do still. Even though the weight loss hasbeen steady the past few weeks, I really miss food. But I still wouldn't go back and change my decision to get sleeved if I could. After the day I had at work, food would have bbeen my comfort. I can't have it, so I need to find something else to fill the void and I will. You will too. Good luck tomorrow and be glad you'rre giving yourself this wonderful gift!

You will do great! I had my surgery in December and am already more than half way to my goal weight! This surgery is the best choice I have ever made. It has really made me change my relationship with food for the better.

Good Luck to you Suzie! I'm two weeks post op and feel great! It is quite an emotional ride just remember, it's for your health! You will mourn, but in the long run you know how those food taste like, right? That's how I get through it. ~HUGS~

We'll be surgery sisters! My surgery is tomorrow morning...I'm excited...I don't think it all has really kicked in yet, but I'm not nervous at all. I am hungry as hell though...not like I couldn't do this liquid diet for a couple more days BUT all I can think about is a cheeseburger and fries. When everyone on here talked about sf popsicles being a lifesaver I was like eeehhh...wouldn't you know I just had 4 in the last 30 minutes! LOL (since I can't eat or drink anything after midnight and b/c they're only 15 calories each).

Good Luck keep us posted

Susie your emotions are very valid. I think all of us thought about the food we can not eat anymore. Hell i was going to write a list of food i wanted to eat when i can ( even if its just a bit) but i would be kidding myself. We all will miss the food that made us fat and unhealhy in the first place but whr\en you see the results you you will embrace the life change.

[Kimmer]

I think most of us did the same think. Hang in there. Praying everything went well.

[BeautifulMama]

Hi, everyone! Surgery went well yesterday. Now I'm tackling the healing process. I've been nauseous and unable to get my very small sips of Isopure down without foam coming up. Other than that I feel fine. I'm a walking machine. Thanks for your thoughts and prayers. Oh and let me know if any of you have had that foam issue?
