I am feeling really excieted and scared all at the same time like wow this is for real the day has finnally come!!!! I read so many blogs on here trying to plan on how am i going to feel how am i going to react to it all, when will I start to feel better??? I know everyone is diffrent and handles it in thier own way and I can only try to be prepared so much...Im staying positive and so ready to start my new journey, tomorrow will be chapter 1 of my new story!!!

Great to hear that you are doing so well, I cant give you really any advice I am still in my pre-op stage....I just wanted to congratulate you on 5.5 lbs down!!! Great job!

Thanks so much Ladies I sure hope it gets easier, I too took some pictures this weekend to help me out like wow you can do this!! These pictures are not what I want to continue to look like, i did the whole tank and shorts pic and it wasnt pretty thats for sure. So thanks for the encouragment it really seems to help when you have someone that can really relate and feel your pain!!

Ok Im day 3 and I feel so sick of the bars and the shakes already!! Please help its really hard, gosh food is everywhere!!! Its not on my list but does anyone know can i eat hard candy if its sugar free??? Im really not sure what I was expecting but this is pretty hard to handle...

Great post, its wonderful to hear about how much progress you have made, and your doing well. Its always so inspireing to read positive posts like this so thanks!!!

I am on day 1 of my pre-op diet. Shakes and bars, shakes and bars and more shakes and bars....I am actually doing ok, But its so amazeing how your mind works when you get something taken away from you, food is my life its my everything and it seems now like wow I will have a lot of time on my hands when you dont revolve your life around food. Its only about 2:30 in the afternoon so i have some time to go before I can say I comepleted day 1 but eh I made it this far I hope and pray the Lord gives me the will power to do this for the rest of my life, to make healthy choices and be the person I have always wanted to be, no more weight is going to hold me back now!!!

I have to do the pre-op for 2 weeks, and im not going to lie its hard but today is day 2 and hopeing every day after this it gets easier. My surgery date is Oct. 7th!! Good Luck to you too!!!

Thanks so much!! I love the 'we need to eat to live and not live to eat' thanks I so needed that!!!

I am only on day 2 and wow its hard, very hard I can so understand what you are saying my whole life is revolved around food....<BR>

Wondering what others do as far as telling family and friends, do you tell or not to tell. My husband knows and then only 2 other people in my life know Im wondering does it give you more accountability if lots of people know or is just all about me and I just work on it on my own and see how it goes?? Im so excieted I sort of want to talk about it to others but like I have learned in the classes and program I am in some may think I am takeing the "easy" way out....which oh if they only knew how hard its been to even get this far in the program and Im sure it will get harder before it gets better but thats ok I am so ready for the outcome and am so ready to get rid of this weight that I have carried for so long....So to tell or not to tell???

I start on Friday I have surgery on Oct. 7th so i am right with you!! Its a great inspiration to like the others have said Im sure its not going to be easy at all but when its done then we can say yes we did it on to another day!! I need support too!!! Take care and let me know how day 1 goes ok!
