All will be fine. Don't work yourself up to a panic.
You can do this! We are all pulling for you

I am scheduled for July 28. We should keep each other going and be surgery buds through this.
Best of luck to all.

Mines July 15. But I will be a surgery buddy! Love this site and all the info.

I am a July 8th surgery date. And I am very nervous about it. I'm older [68] and I wonder if I am going to be able to break all these old habits of mine. I want to succeed and finally get my self healthy. I only have to do 1 day of Clear liquids on Monday, so I know I can handle that. But I am ready to get moving and get on with my new life. I would love to be a buddy to anyone who wants to follow my story. Hopefully I can give some valuable info. on my daily experiences. Either way, good luck to you all and I will be watching for your up date.

I am also slow on the weight loss.. but I've noticed that I am losing inches. Don't get on the scale everyday. . The weight will come off. Best of luck

Think of it this way...you are losing weight and you will continue to lose weight instead of losing no weight. The question is are you meeting your Protein intake? Are you eating what your surgeon as planned for you? Are you taking your Vitamins? Since my 10 day preop diet and having my surgery on march 31, which in total is almost 7.5 weeks, I have lost 34 pounds which is about 3-4 pounds a week on an average. I don't fret about it but make sure I stick to my diet. Also keep in mind everyone loses weight differently. So hang in there...you will get to your goal. Best of luck!

I just hope the feeling goes away soon because this is why I had the surgery...so I don't go in to a food coma everytime I eat
