Awesome! I've heard the pre-op diet is harder than post-op because of the hunger before surgery. Just remember it will be easier post-surgery.

Thanks!! Yes..I heard it was harder! We'll see how it goes. ;)

You are making the right choice. I think we all have this fear that we might leave something behind' date=' but what you need to look at is how much you have to gain ahead. I am from Concord, NC[/quote']

My surgery is this morning at 830am. I've been up crying since 4am bc I'm so afraid to leave my baby. I needed to hear this this morning. Thank you!

You'll be fine. It is important to try to relax and get a good night's sleep before surgery. All will be well.

Everything will be fine..have a great day!!

My surgery is August 6 and I am the same' date=' very excited but very nervous![/quote']

I am scheduled for the 6th too!

How are all of you feeling? For me it's almost a month away and the nerves are kickin in big time

I am nervous a bit, but I have not heard from a single person who has had it that they regretted it. Mostly I am way past being sick and tired of being sick and tired. It will be a huge relief to start making headway in this weightloss battle, and start feeling better.
