Hi, I am booked for a Gastric Bypass on June 10th. It's something I have dreamed of for years but I am also so scared of the op and the future! Would love to chat to others in the same position. Thanks.

Thanks everyone for the encouragement. I actually had surgery this past Tuesday on the 3rd. Even though I cheated Saturday and Sunday, my doc said the surgery went great. I'm not saying that would be the case for everyone. My I did make sure to only have water Sunday through Monday night, then completely fasted until surgery at 2 on Tuesday. Without you guys guilting me into sticking to the diet I may not have been as good as I was. Lol. Anyway, I'm feeling great and headed back to work today! It's mostly a desk job and I can leave if I get tired. Good luck to all of you on the 10th!!

Only a few more days. Preop is going ok. I have the occasional oops, but for the most part am keeping to two shakes and a greek yogurt a day. I found when I ate things I had to chew I was more likely to try and cheat. I am now 1lb from my personal preop weight of 298. HW 334.

I'm booked for next Tuesday, June 10th. I'm having the band removed and going to bypass.

I am booked for jun 10th doing my liquid diet now and all I can think about is pizza and steak!

I am scheduled for June 11th. I've been struggling with the liquids also. The first week was horrible I gave up cigs and food. My family didn't want to be around me not even my dog lol. It's a lot better now I just think about food. I have a baby shower today that I'm hosting, got to stay away from the cake.

Last night I had dreams of food.............today is day 12 of the liquid diet! Only two more days til surgery, I can do this!!!

I hope all the rest of you are doing well on the liquid diet. It is very hard but if it was easy to lose weight we would have done it before now, Right??

Me too! Last night I had a dream I ate a whole bucket of fried chicken with a friend from work. I woke up feeling guilty, then remembered it was only a dream. Today is day 6 of my liquid diet and I am unbearable to be around. (just ask my partner) I've found crunching on frozen suga free popsicles really helps and Jello is my new favorite food.

I am very excited!! Tomorrow is my day. I am worried about the anesthesia. I ALWAYS get sick after surgery. Not looking forward to that.

Hi all, I'm booked for June 27th and could not be more excited. I'm just finishing day 4 of my Optifast and feeling good. I feel so mentally ready that I believe everything will be good. I can't wait to ride the rides at the fair with my daughter!! It was a long process getting here but feel confident that the hospital takes that time to make sure you're ready for it. Yippy yay, 18 more days!!

I am booked for June 10th!! Sleeve, Dr. Um, West Los Angeles, Kaiser So excited can't wait to start my new life--I too am worried about going under!

I'm booked for today 6/10. Can't wait! Best of luck to everyone!

Best of luck to all of you scheduled for surgery today! Welcome to your new life!

Day 5 of the liquid diet now and the only time I find it tough is when I'm making my daughter her supper. I think I'm lucky as I don't have to cook for the whole family. Hubby works evenings and our 17 year old is always out so I'm not as tempted but I tell ya, I heated up some Zoodles for my daughter and just by habit, I wanted to lick the spoon. I'm sure that wouldn't have done any harm but I'm set in my mind, 100% all the way. Then, of course, hubby comes home and starts eating chips in bed, ahhaha. He is great and supportive because if that did bother me, those chips would have been thrown out the window!! hahah.

Anyways, I was down 11.1 pounds this morning, Day 5. Doing good. I even had my husband do my "before" pictures last night. Scary I tell you, from all angles. Can't wait for the "after" and "progress" pictures to come.

All the best everyone

I can relate my partner Is a sugar hound and started munching on M&M's the I the day lol. Stick with it!! It's worth it. I'm 2nd day post op. Procedure wasn't bad, it's the gas pain that keeps bothering me. But I just keep walking

Thank you! I came home tonight to steak and a hamburger from LoneStar on the counter! Took a whiff and proceeded to make my shake and Jello. :-). I'm sticking with it :-).
