I'm not alone!!! I have 9 days till my surgery and I to have started to 2nd guess myself. I'm not afraid of the surgery but my life after surgery. This all liquid diet is starting to get to me!

Seems to be more common than I thought! I was beginning to think I was being ungrateful for the gift in front of me! Best of luck to you!

I am relieved to hear other people being nervous also. My surgery is Friday and as much as I know I am doing the right thing for many reasons (diabetes' date=' weight, fibromyalgia) it is starting to make me a bit crazy. Somehow knowing others feel the same way makes me feel better. Sending good thoughts to all.[/quote']

We can do this! :)

Hey surgery buddy!! Mine is the 22nd too, which I think you know ;) I am so nervous too. I think about how my life is going to change in so so many ways and I start too feel very anxious. I don't feel at all ready like you are. I found myself moving last Saturday and I am scrambling to get my house ready and plan my shopping trip for tomorrow... Any suggestions?? You'll do great I am sure! We both will! What time is your surgery? Mine is at 7am, I have to be there at 5:30. We should exchange email or number so we can text and keep in touch :) if you want to anyway! Either way, good luck!! See you on the losers bench in 3 days!

Im nervous but so excited to start to losing weight. Does anyone else think its cruel to make food addicts go without food? When I stress, I eat. Hello 4 days to surgery and I want to eat. I'm trying to stay focused on the prize and not the moment. I cant wait to hear from everyone how their process is going.

I have to arrive at 7:30, with surgery at 9:50. I bought a lot of Protein powder samples from different websites. I also have sugar free applesauce, pudding, hello, popsicles. I have cream Soups, refried Beans, and cottage cheese. Lastly, some baby spoons, drink containers, food scale, and hand blender. That should be a good start. Getting used to all of this will be hard, but worth it! I will message you my contact info! Good luck!

My surgery is the 29th and I'm so nervous! I'm moving this week and lost my list of things to get any ideas in what to get? I do have the baby bullet w/ 4oz jars and freezer tray.

Well I am now on the post op side!!!!! Yea me!!!! Had surgery at 10 this morning and doing pretty good. No drain ( praise the Lord), mo major pain just discomfort and no vomiting...(praise The Lord again). Really need to sleep but no rest in the hospital.

My surgery is in 18 hours. I can feel my jitters coming.

My dr gave me xanax to take the week before and they gave me something once i got to.the hospital to calm me down and it helped alot!
