I'm excited about having a date on the books. I need to make my appointment with the nutritionist because then I feel like I can really start preparing. I've heard that my doctor's eating/follow-up regimen is pretty strict; I asked him about that during my consult and he said the reason why is twofold. He says it's human nature that when given instructions that need to be followed for any length of time, the majority of folks will follow it about 90% and will make small concessions or allowances to make themselves more comfortable. So, he figures that if he tells his patients to do 110%, they will hopefully settle in at about 100%. Also, he says that we have a limited timeframe to work within to get maximum weight loss, so we need to make the most of that time. I like his philosophy, and I like the way that he says "we"; I know he's really invested in my outcome.

So excited! 38 days and counting!

Mine is July 4th. Is anyone have a hard time doing liquids?? Can we have anything else as well???

I start mine tomorrow. My dr lets us have one reasonable meal at night, so fingers crossed I am hoping that will solve my urge to cheat on the two weeks of liquid. I have a picture from my past of the weight I want to get back to, so whenever I feel like cheating, I look at the photo...maybe you can find something like that to keep you on focus. Good luck !!!

Hi all. Just wondering how all is doing with the liquid diets. I am doing ok so far. Though walking down my street, I can tell what the neighbors are having for dinner these days....lol. It smells so good. Lol

Sorry if the post made you nervous. I am just so psyched about getting it finally done. It has taken almost year to get here. I know that I will get nervous either the night before or day of the surgery. Keep your updates coming in, would love to keep hearing from you and all on how your journey is going.

No problem. I just refocused the nervous energy to preparing myself which I why I became nervous in the first place. I hadn't researched or even thought what I needed for the surgery. I started reading my written instructions daily and buying pre and post foods so things are better for me. I'm in the excited phase now.
