I am right there with you, on all the above. I am scheduled for surgery on the 29th of August and I have not told anyone but my husband, and HR at work because I have to be off work. I can not bring myself to answer anyones questions, opnions or thoughts. I am thinking this is very personal, and as long as my husband is onboard, and I am ready than that is all that matters.

I am on a pure clear liquid diet and allowed 5 no-sugar carnation instant Breakfast packets, and I am half way done. I have a goal to loose 75 lbs by Monday and I am soooo close I am in the high 60's and heck I am not eating really anything :)

I find I am going to have to start reaching out on here because I am still not ready to tell anyone close to me. I have already found I am not alone, and not the only one starving.

Speaking of starving, why do I have this urge to eat? I have exactly one week till surgery and I feel like I want to eat more than these Protein shakes!!! It's scarrin me! Is it my nerves? Is it me dreading the thought that I won't eat these things anymore? What the heck?

I am right there with u, I have exactly 6 days until my surgery and I am doing my Protein shakes, but the diet they gave me includes yogurt, canned fruit, bananas and broth. cottage cheese, pop and fudgescicles...so i am not totally starving. but it sucks watching my honey eat manicotti and chicken breasts, which i cooked for him, cause i figure i have to get used to the smell of good food around that i cant have.

i have been struggling with my choice to have the surgery and questioning if i should wait awhile longer and get my heart blip checked out or not, and get some psychological counseling first, well last year i had gone to a seminar and the doctor i really wanted to do my surgery wasnt taking my insuracne at that time, but this morning of all times, they call me and tell me i am on his list of call backs and hes taking my insurance now and am i still interested.

i am more confused than ever now.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
