Thank you all! Calling it a night. I will arrive at the hospital by 6am. Update the moment I can.

I am feeling the same right now. I am scheduled for tomorrow morning. I believe this feeling is completely normal. I can't wait to share my experience with you all.

My surgery is tomorrow morning! I am a flood of emotions, but mostly excited to start this journey. I appreciate all of you for your endless advise and information. Wish me a speedy recovery! Soon I will be on the infamous losers bench. I can't wait.

I am responsible for $1400. I am 2 days away. We can do this! I am so excited. We will do great. Best of luck!!

Awesome!!!! Congrats

My day is Thursday. I agree with the pillow. I've read a few suggest the same. I bought the GasX strips. I won't get the mess till after surgery. Best of luck to you.

I've read others used them and it helped. My doctor however does not allow the use of one

Hi Luann, Me too! I arrive to the hospital at 6 am on the 2nd for surgery at 8:30 am. I am so ready, excited and nervous. So many emotions.

I also purchased a couple of the clear Isopure drinks. I will be trying coconut water, pineapple orange and lemonade. GNC had them on sale for $2 per bottle. They each have 40g of protein!

I can't imagine that feeling. I am desperate to get to the other end of this surgery to experience the feeling. That sounds so terrible, but after struggling with this weight for 33 years, I want and need this. Thanks for sharing!

Welcome to the group. The process for me was 6 months. It went by so fast! I am scheduled for Thursday, March 2nd. Best wishes on your new journey. No looking back!

Congratulations! I am March 2nd also. I can't wait. Best wishes to you.

I have not used anything yet, but my surgery is March 2nd also! I am also nervous and excited. Best wishes to you and a speedy recovery.

YOU LOOK AMAZING! It's incredible what a confidence boost success gives us. Keep it going. You are doing incredible and it shows. [emoji106]?[emoji7][emoji16]

That is my first goal as well! It's been over 15 years for me. I am so curious to see how my body will react to the surgery, as I know we are all different. Again, thanks so much for all your insight.

Update: March 2nd. Surgery was moved up one week.

Thank you so much for sharing. I am definitely sticking it out! I am so excited. So happy the weight has been steady dropping for you. I've read about so many stalls, I am ready for them, but secretly hoping that is not the case for me.

Thanks for your response. I asked if they had samples to try first, but they didn't for the unflavored. I will be trying it today with my soup. Wish me luck.

Thanks for your response. I've read here lots of people use the Isopure and love it. I generally enjoy most protein shakes, but opted to buy unflavored for after surgery. Thinking I could mix it into broths, yogurt and creamy soups. Luckily, GNC gives 30 days to decide if you don't like it to return.

Sorry you need to wait a few more days. I am scheduled Thursday too. Best of luck!!!

Congratulations on your amazing progress!!! So happy you are doing great. I can't wait!

The hunger we feel during the pre-surgery diet, does it feel the same after surgery? Meaning is it a struggle when you smell foods and watch others eat. I am on day 11 of full liquids pre surgery. It's been tough the last two days not to take a bite out of everything I see.

My surgeon did not require this pre-op. I've learned on this site all doctors are very different.

I am on day 11 of full liquids only. I am down 16 pounds and scheduled for surgery Thursday, March 2nd. The first 6 days were actually easier for me. Now I am hungry it feels like constant. I think it's also my nerves as I get closer and I am used to eating when I feel like this. Best of luck! You got this.

This liquid diet has been hard. The first 6 days were surprisingly easy for me. Then as of day 7, wow! Hunger has been unbelievable. Everything I see looks delicious. I've struggled hard! Day 11 and I am down 16 pounds. That has been a great trade off, but definitely not easy.
