I just scheduled surgery this morning for June 24th. I've been through all the hoops now I have to do a pre-op class and then surgery. I'm excited and scared. Most importantly, I'm super motivated. Until now I was sort of blah about it but now I know it's going to happen, I'm going to set a goal for presurgery weight and go for it.

June 25th here! Very nervous but very excited! Want to keep in touch and help one another get through the ups and downs? My name is Pamela and I am from Long Island NY

Absolutely. I would love to.

Awesome! I stat my per-op liquid on the 11th for 2 weeks, not looking forward to it. but have to do it. Glad to have so one to share my journey with. Have tremendous support from my family but not the same as someone going through the same thing. Talk to you soon, pamela

I only have to do one week pre-op. I was feeling lucky until I realized all the things that are going on that week. We have a graduation party for my son, a Relay for Life event and another family gathering. I can already tell it's going to be tough. I'm just going to travel with my cooler full of liquid and try to make the best of it.

I am also scheduled for the 24th. Found this site last night and already feel calmer. See Dr. on Mon for final appt before surgery. I saw nutritionist yesterday and was told to start liguid diet 7 days before.

I started to purge my kitchen yesterday to get rid of all my bad choices. Knowing I only have a certain amount of time before I begin I have been eating all my favorite foods with no discrimination. Not Good.

So glad to have this site so we can all help each other. I tried the Vitamins and a shake yesterday not to bad. Wanted to see what they would taste like.

GOOD LUCK AN BEST WISHES TO EVERYONE ON THIS JOURNEY!

June 24th from Texas! Very nervous and a little anxious about it all!

I'm right there with you on the nervous part. I'm now convinced that I am going to be constantly nauseous, bald and still fat. I think I need to stop Googling.

Good morning everyone! I am also scheduled for June 24th. I am on day 3 of the liquid diet and I think I found my stride! I like the shakes (designer whey) and have to continue for the next two weeks. I am nervous and excited.
