I'm super excited in 2.5 hours I should be rolled into the OR. I can't believe it's finally here!

How are you doing with your psych meds? That's the thing I worry about most of all.

Tuesday is the big day for me!!! I'm Dawn and I live in Greenville, SC. I think we're pretty nice too! I'm also on Facebook. Dawn Hensley Young.

I am on day 29 of a strict diet. We have to do it for a month. 5 protein shakes a day and one low fat, low carb meal. 4 ounces of lean protein, 1 cup of vegetables and a small piece of fruit. 80 ounces of water and exercise 5 days at least 45-60 minutes. I'm down 25.5 pounds so far. My surgery is Tuesday the 19th. Going on the is diet for so long has been a blessing for me. It has given me enough time to grieve, break a habit and create a new habit. Best of luck to all!

That's awesome! I'm having my surgery on Tuesday the 19th. I pray I have the same results!

I can't wait to sit on the loser's bench. I only have 6 more days!!!

I'm May19 too!!! 8 more days!!! ????

We only have 8 days! We're in single digits now! It's hard to believe!

We sure will. We only have 8 days left!!!!

Congratulations on your date! My surgery is May 19th. This is my fourth week on a strict pre-op diet. So far I've lost 22.5 pounds. I'm glad you've joined us.

In counting down! 10 days to go! May 19th here I come!

That's exactly how I feel! I could care less what people say or think about me. I suppose it comes with age. I wish I'd done it sooner.

The apple powder is one of two things. The Mott's brand is one of those packets they sale to mix in with water bottles. The other is sugar free apple cider mix. Torani syrups can be found online, Wal-Mart, grocery stores. They are usually found where the coffee is. We have a place called world market that sells all kinds of sugar free flavors. I found more there than any where else. If you don't have one online is a great option. Torani has their own website. Good luck!

My date is the 19th too. I've been taking biotin for years because my hair's thin too. It definitely helps it grow. So new growth fills in pretty quick. I was told by a friend and my dietitian to get 80-90 grams of protein daily. My friend had the bypass and followed the rules and never lost her hair.
