I am with ca't wait to be on the other side. 2 more days for me.

I'm new to the site, but tomorrow is Day 14 of the liquid diet & my surgery is Wed. Oct 2. I can't wait to have before & after pics!!!

Glad you found this site... I think it has been helpful. I'm on day 2 of pre-op diet shakes and a little irritable! Eeek! Good luck on Wednesday!

Tomorrow is the day. I have lost 13.5 lbs in a little over a week pre-surgery. I am feeling good and ready to start this incredible journey.

Mommyoftwins are you able to get up and move around much? Glad you are done with surgery. Keep us posted!

Good luck to the bandsters getting banded today~! Oct 2 seemed to be a big day around here.

Five days and counts just went for my final weight in lost more weight down to 346 come on 10/7

Well, surgery went well. I woke up in a lot of pain. I'm still capable of sleeping on my stomach if I'm careful, so I did that, and when I woke up, I felt significantly better. :) Still hurting and walking, but that's it.
