I can't believe the day is so close! I am growing more and more anxious, but at the same time nervous. At some points in my day, I feel just the need to get it all over with.

My surgeon never gave me a pre-op diet, so I feel like I'm going to be going cold turkey after surgery. I read so much about how everyone had pre-op diets, and I was never given one! It gets me a bit uneasy! Above all, I am hopeful for everything that is about to happen to me. My whole life will never be the same, and I couldn't ask for anything more! I have been so tied to bad food my whole life that I cannot even process the thought of not wanting any of it.

However, this is a time to push ourselves, and challenge ourselves to be the people we all know we can be! I want to be able to choose a healthy lifestyle and use this surgery as a tool to achieve my goals.

I hope everyone is just as excited as I am for their surgeries!

Hugs and prayers to all!

I won't have a pre-op diet either. I'm not nervous about that piece - just very grateful as it's so difficult to stay on liquids when you're used to overeating. I'm thinking that post-surgery, it will be easier...

Good luck!! I'm the 9th!!! Praying for a speedy recovery!

JordannChristina, you are so cute and very sweet. You look very young to sound so mature. I don't have a date yet, but the very best of luck to you on surgery day!

I'm getting surgery on October 4th too! Eeek!

Very strange mix of emotions- one minute I'm excited, the next terrified- especially of potential complications. I've found putting on my favourite music to give me that feel good feeling and visualising myself 100lbs lighter reminds me why I'm on this path.

We can do this!
