Can't believe I am less than a week away from surgery! I'm so excited and so nervous. I'm down 30 lbs and am still losing. Its so crazy that I started this Journey 9 months ago and felt as it was going to be FOREVER before my surgery and it is finally almost HERE! It's so surreal.

My surgery is the 9th as well.

I'm on 2 Protein shakes and 1 small meal of lean protein and veggies. I am thinking of skipping the meal tonight though and just doing another shake because my final preop appt is tomorrow and I'll be weighed again .

Looking forward to getting my surgery time though tomorrow. I really hope it's early because I don't want to sit around all day worrying and not being able to drink anything.

I hear ya, I am not having surgery tll 2:45 and that is going to suck.,....not drinking anything

Oh, got busy today and am just now eating. I never realized how much I thought about food before. Now that I'm not always thinking about it and planning my meals I don't get the horrible head hunger and am only aware that I haven't eaten when my body tells me. Definitely ready for the surgery and to be on my way to recovery!

That's great! Let us know how things go! How much have you lost on the pre-op diet so far?

As of Monday, I have lost 20 pounds. Hopefully I've lost a little bit more, I'll find out tomorrow :-)

I agree. Since I've been on the preop diet, I don't think about food all the time like I was before. I think it's because I know what I'm allowed and it's all planned out. Also the protein shakes keep me satisfied and I usually never feel hungry. I was eating stuff with little nutritional value before and was always craving more.

Good Luck Ladies! I think a pedicure and new hairdo is an excellent way to get this party started. I am having surgery on June 25th. I am also thinking about a new "do."

Haha, must be in the air. I got a pedi to prepare for surgery too today! Post and let us know how your surgery goes for those of us following suit (June 11th).

If we can't put on make up or wear nice clothes then we are for sure gonna have our nails and hair lookin good for any possible hot male nurses or Drs! Gotta make those hospital gowns lookin good ladies! I went more blonde and got my bangs trimmed pretty short! During and after pics below

Think I might get my pedi Monday morning to distract me.....

That is a great idea! I think I might splurge a little today and go get a pedi to go along with my new hair.

I'm letting my friend that does my hair pick out my new do....

Oh boy, good luck! Lol

My surgery is next Thursday, June 12th. I got a new, super-short pixie cut last weekend and I'm looking forward to a new and improved body to go with it! I work in an admissions office on a college campus and it seems like there is a potluck for a baby shower, a retirement, or birthday every week. It's been hard to resist all the goodies, but I just keep telling myself the sacrifice will be worth it.

I'm not worried about what she is going to pick out, we have been doing a pinterest board of stuff I like and she thinks will look good on me.....BTW after 5 days on my pre op diet, I am down 13 lbs.

I know what you mean! It was one if my coworkers birthdays today and there were chocolate chip muffins, bagels and cream cheese, pizza, and cake. All the death of me!

But I was really good and resisted. But I got mad at my coworker for bringing some cake over to our shared workspace. Kinda bit her head off, oops!
