I can't believe I will be sleeved in 4 days! When I started this journey, I thought it would never get here. Some of you know the hell I went through getting approved and you encouraged me to be patient and the time would come. For that, I thank you all!

I just found that I'm the first one scheduled for surgery on Tuesday! I don't know what time yet, but I'm glad I'm first! As for the pre op liquid diet, I'm really doing good. I feel so much better with those nasty carbs out of my system. I also feel more energized. I couldn't have done this without the support of this forum!

Big thank you!

I was just sitting here thinking the same thing! I cannot believe it will only be five more days! I am the first one on the schedule too so excited about that I did not want to wait for hours without eating or drinking before I had the surgery.

Hope your surgery goes well!

I am so super excited for you! You've been doing great on your pre-op diet and it is SO going to be worth it!

I was like you, I didn't realize exactly how much carbs were messing with me until I went low carb. At 10 weeks post op I still look at them and think NOPE. Not even. My kids brought in a dozen original Krispy Kreme donuts earlier this week and I looked at them and was like..eeeww..fat saturated doughy goo with more sugar on one donut than I've probably eaten all week. It's just kinda gross, really lol

It's totally going to blow your mind how much your relationship with food changes. You'll get real protective of your new tummy and the thought of putting certain things in it that you used to love is going to be such a turn off. You'll smell something cooking and think, that smells really good, but have no desire to eat it. Nothing short of amazing.

Thank you for sharing with us, too

That is great you are the first. mine was scheduled for the afternoon. I didn't have to be there until like 1 I think. It sucked so bad. I had not drank anything so I called and they were like you can drink water up until four hours before. Which I did but I just wanted to be in and done.
