Yamaha..I have been on the site quite a bit today. Its all recalling hitting me now that I have the date set. I'm so nervous but excited to move on. How are feeling so far?

Well I ~think~ I'm done freaking out and now I'm just ready. When I first got my date I freaked out big time. How are u feeling?

My op date is june 10th and i'm starting to freak out a little too, its the whole general thing that frightens me, I've had operations before and come out the other end but never at this weight and its worrying me a lot!

Milk and yogurt!! I'm jealous I only get clear liquids: broth, sf popsicles, h2o, and the Protein shakes.. but that's only 5 days before..Ive already started switching out Breakfast and lunch for Protein Shakes though.. next week I'll be weening myself off caffeine...getting ready mentally I guess..i figure baby steps will be easier then cold turkey:)

Previous poster, i too get nervous. I question whether I'm doing the right thing. I mean- this will probably get rid of my diabetes, hypertension, and cure my addictive eating issues. I will likely not develop a host of other issues, and I'll probably live a longer life if I am able to get to a normal weight.

On the other hand, what if something goes wrong? I die and leave my three year old and seven month old without a mother? I've read stories of people ending up hospitalized for months with sepsis or leaks... Then I can't work and provide food and shelter for those babies?

Obviously the chances of that are very slim, so I will forge ahead. But they are definitely concerns that scare me.

I'm also anxious to go through the breakup with food. I know that is going to be a hard process.

So I choose to not think of those things when they pop into my head. I am doing this and life will be so much better. Only positive outcomes can happen!

Met with my surgeon today for my pre op. will be starting my liquid diet on 6/3. I think I wanna start it sooner than that.

I start pre-op on the 3rd too! Yes! I'm an over achiever too! I started shakes in the AM. Monday I'll start shakes in the AM and PM. Then on the third I'll transition to full liquids.< /p>

SlimDreams, my date is 3rd june and I'm kinda having fears of "am i doing the right thing?" "Will I regret this op?" "Will I be happy with the amount of food? " Etc etc.

I'm just glad I'm not the only one having little fears!!!

But in the long run I know this is the best thing for me and I'll be fine

I just got my date today....June 13th! but i am seeing alot of liquid diets, my doctor told me that i only have to do the liquids the day before surgery He said it was because i already have lost a good amount of weight (over the 10% they requested) so my liver should have shrunk enough already. Now that i have my date, I got that feeling you get when you are getting on a big roller coaster for the first time

I guess I'll be leaving this group. Dr called yesterday and moved my surgery from June 7th to May 28th. Excited and scared.
