Hi Misty,

I am so stoked to have 2 surgery buddies!!! This is amazing. I have to have a filter for blood clots put in on the 10th of july....then its on to surgery!! I am super excited. And a whole lotta nervousness too. How are u coping?

I'm excited, nervous, and just want it to be over with. I can't wait to look like myself again. I'm older than you, but used to be an active person anyway. I can't wait to go hiking, and horseback riding again. LET'S GO !!!!!

P.S. Misty.....we are starting at the same weight.....230. I don't know how much I will lose on the liquid diet, I've got 11 days to go on the diet. So far I've been afraid to get on the scales

Mine is on 7/16!

Mine is 7/15. I just finished day 3 of the pre-op diet.

I'm schedule for July 16!

Misty of course we can be buddies. We have so many buddies here, SoniaJ, and pik just to name a few. We are all in this together. We will help each other get through this surgery. Are you on your pre-op protein shakes yet? I've been doing two shakes a say just trying it out and I lost 6lbs already. I love my shakes!

Hi, my gastric bypass surgery is July 8,2014 at 10:30am . I am so nervous and excited at the same time, just cant wait for it to be over with. I have struggled with diabetes for over 10years and decided it is time.

Good luck to you.

Yforster - good luck with your surgery. How is the pre-op diet going?

Hi - just wanted to say hello because my surgery is July 8 at 10:00am! I'm like you - nervous and super excited at the same time!!!!

Good luck ! We will be following you into surgery a little later

Day 4 of my pre op diet. Yesterday I was suffering. I have had nausea for quite a bit now, prior to the diet. I had it for 6 days before starting my diet and I have had it up until going to bed last night. Yesterday I wanted to give up.

I was hungy and had nausea for so long I couldn't take it any more. I wanted to just say no to the surgery. I know I need my Hiatal Hernia surgery no matter what but I was ready to be done with the WLS.

Today I am feeling a lot better. Just nausea a bit with the shake I had this morning. (and cleaning the litterbox) ugh.

I am hoping it won't be an all day ordeal and so far it hasn't been. Thank the Lord for that!
