Got my date...October 17th, I'm starting to get scared....

As the time get's closer the more nervous I become. I don't know what changes my life will take and how I will look. I think the biggest thing is how will I look. I also have braces on, so my teeth will be looking nice also. I've had a front gap for years and that has been closed. I wonder once I reach my goal weight and the braces come off, will I recognize myself.

I'm October 17th too!!! I'm supposed to have 5 protein shakes a day and today I had zero and a ton I water...I think my nerves are getting to me and I'm not hungry! 2 days!!!

Tomorrow it's the big day, lost 15lbs on liquid diet

I'm so excited for all of you guys! Nerves are understandable, but I believe that once it's all said and done, you will be so happy you did it! Praying for complication free surgeries and speedy recoveries.

Thanks guys! Tomorrow is the big day. I have to be at the hospital at 6AM. I'm packing my bag and about to get into bed.

Done did it, in my room watching TV, very little pain.
