Congratulations on your big day. You'll be fine. All the best to you! SD:8/21/13

I was wondering about this as well. I have a sensitive gag reflex and hope it's not awful, because I'll never get it down. SD:8/21/13

Congrats to all! Maybe we'll have the same surgery date! SD:8/21/13

I'm the following week. So excited for all of us! A whole new life awaits! SD:8/21/13

Congrats Becky! I was just recently approved as well. It's such a great feeling. SD:8/21/13

Try cleaning them with vinegar and Water. That can kill any bad smell. SD:8/21/13

Welcome Patti! You'll definitely find what you're looking for here. We're all on the same journey, although some are just starting, and some are waiting for insurance approval, waiting for the big day on the operating table, or maintaining their weight loss. We're all here for you. SD:8/21/13

How far out are you? Are you still journaling your meals? SD:8/21/13

So happy you joined us! I've gaining weight consistently since about nine years old. Never been a normal weight a day in my life. I'm looking forward to surgery so much there aren't words. I want to feel confident for the first time ever! It may take longer than you'd like, but stick with the process, it's worth it! SD:8/21/13

I don't have a number in mind, I just want to be confident and healthy. I don't know how many pounds that will take. SD:8/21/13

Does anyone else have a countdown? SD:8/21/13

I say this with nothing but respect for you, but you've done so much to improve your health, please try to quit for good. Otherwise you may be trading one health problem for another. HW: 370. CW:344. SD:8/21/13

Congratulations! So happy to hear you're doing so well. HW: 370. CW:344. SD:8/21/13

You'll be fine. It is important to try to relax and get a good night's sleep before surgery. All will be well. HW: 370. CW:344. SD:8/21/13

I'm looking forward to all of the things I'll be able to do. I do feel nervous, but more excited I think. HW: 370. CW:344. SD:8/21/13

I am the day after you! HW: 370. CW:344. SD:8/21/13

Congratulations!!!!!! So exciting! HW: 370. CW:344. SD:8/21/13

I'm not sure of the benefits of going dairy free, but I can tell you that going meat free has made me drop 26lbs. I am having my surgery August 21st and I hope to be down about 40lbs by then. Talk to your nutritionist. HW: 370. CW:344. SD:8/21/13

Add me to the list! My surgery is August 21st.

Welcome Vince! You'll find lots of encouragement here.
