My swollen feet and ankles have been a huge problem for me. I am less than one week out of surgery and my ankles are thin! I love my beautiful ankles It is so great not to feel pain in my feet for the first time in a long time.

Annie - I would love to hear how you are doing. I also had my surgery on Thursday, and so far, so good. Still pretty sore, but getting better each day. It is a struggle to get all of the liquids in, but I'm managing to stay on track. Wishing you all the best in your journey!

I just had my surgery on Thursday. I was very nervous, but everyone at the surgical center was fabulous. I spent one night and came home at 6:00am. Each day gets a bit easier. I'm eager to see where this journey takes me. So far, it's really not as bad as I thought it would be.

Looking forward to hearing how your surgery went. I'm scheduled for tomorrow

Looking forward to hearing how everything goes for you. I am right behind you on Thursday Best wishes with your surgery and recovery!

Wishing you the best with your insurance company - where are you hoping to have your surgery done. So fun to "meet" another Snohomish member.

I am scheduled for the 2nd - I'm nervous, but ready

JR- I am hanging in there on the low carb diet. It has gotten easier as I have gotten farther into it. Only 6 more days to go for me. I'm hoping to starting attending the PSSC support group in April - I've heard great things about it.

JRFishes...So glad to hear about another great experience at PSSC. My surgery will be there next Thursday.... Best wishes in your recovery!

CrissyBat- I did buy some Isopure today for the first few days after surgery. Has anyone purchased unjury? I'm thinking of purchasing the chicken broth flavor, so I have something other than "sweet"

I am also on the pre-op diet. Mine is just a low-carb diet. I've heard that many have to do an all-liquid diet. It hasn't been horrible so far. I think my body has adjusted now. I can't believe it is a week from tomorrow! I have also been drinking the Premier Protein shakes. They are not too bad - I like the chocolate better than the vanilla, but you could probably do a few things to the vanilla to make it better...

Jenbaby....thanks so much for sharing your experience. That is so great to hear. I have been really happy with my experience so far - everyone has been very kind and helpful. It's hard to believe that I am only 10 days away. This has been a very difficult decision, but I feel like I am on my way to a new, healthier me. So glad to hear about your positive experience!

Mine will be at PSSC. How are you feeling so far? I'm nervous about those first few weeks....

I am in Snohomish and scheduled for surgery on April 2nd. Getting really nervous, but excited for this journey. It is so great to read about all of your experiences...

I have a date of April 2nd. Nervous! Good luck on your journey!

I have been scheduled for surgery on April 2nd - very nervous about this journey, I also know it's time to take charge of my weight. Where did you have your surgery?

I'm nervous too - one of my big fears is losing a lot of hair, but I know it will all be worth it in the end. I so feel some relief at having made the decision to move forward with this. Now, I am ready to face the future and all of the adventures that it may hold.

I just got my surgery date today - April 2nd! So we can do the countdown together. I would love to keep in contact and share our experiences

I scheduled my surgery date today - here we go! Anyone near Seattle, WA?
