i'm having surgery on July 2... anyone else? Lets encourage each other!!

Just in time to see the fireworks with our band!

My surgery is June 25th. I would love to have you for a buddy and encourage each other. I think I will need it. I had my preop today. Getting nervous

wtloss... for sure! lets keep in contact and encourage each other! are you on pre-op liquids now? i'm on day 3 of it. wow so you have just a few more days! so exciting! you know, i was nervous right after my final pre op appointment, but i started looking at other's success stories and it got me so excited for my surgery date to get here! its encouraging to see other's success!

what are you most nervous about?

btw... feel free to message me!

My surgery is on July 2nd! I'm so excited! I am on day 4 of the pre op diet and surprisingly I did not wake up starving this morning do hopefully it's getting better. Hope to stay in touch!

July 2nd right here... Are you anxious?, Nervous? I'm getting quite a bit of both...

I am more anxious than nervous. I may get a little nervous the weekend before the surgery, but God will see me through just fine I'm sure! I am really focused on trying to get through the pre op diet, but I am doing pretty good, just having headaches, which could be from various things...lol

i've been having my moments of being nervous or anxious, but then i look at success stories and i'm back to feeling excited and determined! i'm sure i'll be nervous the night before and the day of because its a surgery... but i've come this far and there's no looking back... just looking forward to our new lives! and like jflo said... God will definitely see us through and give us strength and guide the surgeons!

i'm on day 4 of my pre-op liquids too. each day has a been a little better. yesterday afternoon i was having such a hard time with it... i literally almost started crying on the phone as i called and complained to my mom about it. lol i also woke up feeling better this morning. whats funny is that i've been vegetarian for 4 years and in the last few weeks i've been craving a mcdonalds burger! LOL what on earth?? so funny! my body is going nuts i think!

nice to meet you both and lets definitely stay in touch! let me know how you're surviving day 4!!

So far so good! It was so funny last night because I was scanning through channels and noticed one of my favorite shows was on, so I hit the button not thinking! Man v. Food!!!!!! Really?? I can't believe I did that to myself, however it didn't stay there but 10 seconds...ha!!

oh man!! i love those food shows too! i have avoided them completely! last night by husband stopped at one of the cooking shows and i was like... "nope... keep clicking... dont stop there!" lol i also have to change during commercials.... some of those are killer too!

Oh most definitely! It really makes you realize how much we never noticed all of the food commercials until now. I remember ordering a medium drink not too long ago and it was huge, which is exactly what a lot of the obesity problem today is. Too much food and portions! So ready for my surgery! Glad I have so many people on here to understand what I am going through.

oh totally! not until the last couple weeks (and especially last 4 days!) have i noticed how much we are bombarded with food! no wonder i always wanted to eat! lol!

yes, the portions are crazy big! because we'll be eating so little afterward, my husband and i were thinking when we went out to eat in the future, we could get one meal and i'll just eat 1/4 of his and he will still be full with the rest! save money! haha! i heard on the radio about a month ago that they were trying to pass this bill or something that you could show a weightloss surgery card at a restaurant and be charged only half price for your meal since you will only be eating a small part of it. i dont know if that ever went anywhere, but it kinda makes sense if they give you half portions.

i'm also glad i found this site! i havent told a whole lot of people about the surgery (family and a couple close friends) and i just wanted to talk to people that are going through it or that have been through it... and this is perfect! it really does help to make it easier... we know we're not alone!!

End of day 8 Pre-op diet! We survived a week! How's everyone else doing with the liquids?? I've been surviving and getting better and better at not being upset when i remember what I can't have! almost to surgery date!

I'm doin a lot better this week! I hope this weeks moves right along lol! Ready for Monday!
