Hang in there..... You will be ok. I can't wait to eat next Wednesday. Ugh I want a scrambled egg with cheese

Carolm1965 how are you doing today - I hope better?? How is everyone else doing?? Is everyone else home now or is anyone else still in the hospital having trouble?? Wishing the best for all of you. Hope to hear from all of you when you get a chance.

That's funny! Until like Friday I was sure my surgery was Wednesday (but still the 26th) every time my husband I even talked about planning for the week we wound up hugely frustrated and annoyed with each other.

@@cruzin2beskinny alright Cruzin your engine is reving and ready to go... best of luck, prayers to you. Keep us posted!

@@dolphin_girl will be thinking of you tomorrow and the rest of the May crew... Positive prayers and thoughts!!!

To all my buddy's that had surgery today. I was thinking about all of you today hoping that all was going smoothly and that you all were in great hands. I hope everyone is doing well. Hope to hear from all of you soon.
Take care

Oh you guys, I am so excited for you!! I know I will be having all the same feelings this time next week when it's my turn as well!! Please keep in touch as you go thru the next couple days good or bad; I might not be able to write back until the evenings but I can read them thru the day. I pray for the best for everyone of you and am so excited we are all on this journey together. Take care!!

I think I'm a week behind you but I will be your buddy too... I just "officially" started my two week diet today.. even though I kind of put myself on a self imposed shake diet for the past two previous weeks but I was cheating here and there.. now there is no more of that!!

Good Luck for you tomorrow - I am only two weeks behind you on the 27th... Please let us know how everything goes...see you on the other side....

I'm having surgery on the 30th and I'm ready but scared to death! I've never been admitted into a hospital let alone have surgery. The 10 day liquid diet is coming up in 3 more days and I just feel very uneasy about it. Am I going to feel like I'm starving? Any helpful hints or tricks are definitely appreciated!

Thanks for the replies and well wishes!
I'm very excited. I guess for me, I know it's the right thing, everyday when I get out of bed, and feel how sick I am due to so many other health issues I have due to my obesity, I know it's the right thing to do.
I'm hoping....I will no longer have to take 20+ pills a day and minimum of 4 injections of insulin. Even if that were cut in half, it would be a huge improvement.
I'm not doing this to get into a certain size. I'm doing this because if I don't...I won't be here much longer, and even my PCP has told me that. Not that I needed her to. I know I'm not going to last very long if I don't do something on a permanent level to help get my weight under control. I've done the lose 100 lbs and gain it back and more game, too many times, for too many years.
Not sure if this is encouraging at all, but sometimes we just need to remind ourselves, I think....of what we are doing and why. food has at this point become boring and highly overrated to me. I feel I am ready. I set out to have my "last" everything I wanted, and I keep coming up very very disappointed, in how I thought it was going to make me feel. I guess I crossed that line, where I actually realized, food isn't as important or comforting as I believed it to be. Big thanks to my therapist, and the nutritionists who have put in many hours in helping me realize what I was doing in relation to food.
Thanks again everyone for your support.
I notice people here have buddies, I'd sure love one, if anyone is willing, to help me through this process.

Oh ok... I'm praying for a miracle! I'm ready for a change and the time and days are going by slowly! Good luck on your journey!
