Since November I've been on this journey doing everything I needed to, ran into some complications with my health that delayed my surgery but now finally got a surgery date for June 23rd! And I'm excited and nervous at the same time but also relieved that the day is finally coming! Now all I need to do is sign consent and go to a pre op appt. meet with anesthesiologist and I'm good to go! Wish me luck friends!

Hey good luck. I am on the 25th, so you'll be getting out about the time I'm going in.

I started my journey in Feb. and am scheduled for June 24th with preop on June 19th. I guess I should be nervous but am not. I am so excited to be starting my new life in less than 2 weeks. I am doing well with the preop diet as my surgeon allows 1 small meal a day. Congrats and good luck to all June people.

June 23 for me too! On day four of my pre op diet but it's not too bad. I'm just HUNGRY. I'll be so relieved to have a repreive from being hungry soon. Even if it's only a few months of not being hungry.

I've bought some awesome cookbooks and a protien shake book on my Kindle. Amazon.com has some really good stuff on WLS diets and recipies.

I just can't wait to look down and see less of me.

How do I get that 'ticker' on the bottom of your posts?

I'm not too computer saavy.

I am about to have bypass on the 19 of June, I'm kinda scared, any suggestions?

It's a life changing experience and to help you if I can....think about how much your life will change for sure.

We have been in these overweight bodies so long that when these are taken away we will be thin and that is scary.

It's like getting a new pair of shoes. We have the old ones that are so comfortable even if we know they're ugly looking that throwing them away doesn't feel very good.

Add me in Instagram (mandie.de.lionne) if y'all would like! I just made it so I could share my story with you guys and vice versa feel free!

Hey ladies, I'm about 24 hours out and doing well, how are y'all?

Hey I'm glad to here you are doing well, I'm 3 days out and doing good, better day by day... Having gas pain but taking gasx and pain meds... Already kinda tired of liquids I'm wanting puréed foods but don't dare until the nut advances me..... How's everyone else doing???

Im still waiting of course but very untested in hearing about the various experiencing you guys are sharing... Im no where near a date but very anxious

Deeward, i am only three days in, but I can safely tell you at this point, that if you do plenty of research, follow ALL of what you are taught, and be realistic expecting a certain amount of pain and discomfort, you will get through fine. So far for me, it is wayyyy worth it!

Thanks Mike. I will. Im reading stuff everyday. Im soaking it all in. The dos and the donts. Im ready
