Emerson Hospital in Concord MA. Great specialty practice and all their patient go to the same floor after surgery so all the nurses have loads of experience and training.

Surgery yesterday. Feeling much better than expected. I think Stage 1 bariatic diet is harder than fasting but the nurses know their stuff so that's good. Good luck to those lined up.

You're almost there. A fresh start. Hang in there. Mine's 10/6 and I'm really nervous too but I keep telling myself the reward is my wellness even though the road is hard. Remember, everyone with a bad story is more than willing to share it (not necessarily a bad thing) but the successful ones are most often not heard from afterwards. Everyone is different. Your story will truly be your own. You never know, but MOST of the time the results are good, you just don't hear about it as much from others.

Thank you greennewlife. One day at a time is great advice. Maybe I even need to look one meal at a time right now. Best of luck with your next appointment. I've got one tomorrow morning and again Tuesday.

I'm down to my 14 day protocol (10/6 surgery) so basically two shakes and a small dinner. My first two days I had a business dinner then going away luncheon at a Chinese restaurant and a going away party at a local watering hole with all the apps you could eat. I did awesome! Spot on. Did everything right. Since then it's been it's been extremely difficult and I'm breaking the regimen a lot. I'm starving and then I eat too much at night which is a bad time to begin with. I'm so frustrated and disappointed with myself. At least I'm mostly "overeating the right stuff". High Protein or fruits and vegetable. The chewing slowly is torture. I'm very excited and I've been totally prepared for life after surgery. Even my doctor and nutritionists have told me I'm one of the most prepared they've seen. But now I'm getting really scared. Is anyone else coming down the home stretch and feeling the same way? Greennewlife???
