I am with you totally.. I was dreading the all liquids phase and to be honest it was the easiest part of my preoop although it was on a weekend when i was busy doing finals. I cried and weeped alot the last week, everything seemed to make me want to cry. I also have been wanting to have surgery to correct myself, and in fact could not get it because of exclusions all my working life, until my hubby had started a new job. I just had my surgery Monday, and now being out of the hospital and home for a whopping 6 hours I feel like myself only without a food addiction. I am now able to think, and not just for my stomach! I think I was coming to close of my life, where I knew I wanted a change and it was finally going to happen for the first time and also grieving the loss of what could have beens...

I am so glad I am not alone. I have a weigh in for my pre op meeting on Aug 11th, they told me make sure you lost at least close to that 15 lb mark, since the surgeon is a stickler. As we all know, if you lose 15 lbs 2 months before the weigh in you will regain it back.. So i have to figure out which crash diet to do to lose the last 6 or 7 lbs. I have had nothing but complications with getting approved for surgery(medically), extra testings and specialists... Never ending appts! So know you are not alone. Do you have your date yet? I hope it all works out for you guys!
