Hi Everyone! My surgery has been moved from November 12th to this Friday, October 3rd. I am 5 days into my 10 day liquid fast. It hasn't been as bad as I thought it would be. I am getting a little sick of Protein Shakes but I only have a few days left to go. I am so excited to finally be at this point in my journey which began over 9 months ago! Good luck to all of you and I would love to keep in touch with fellow Octobers!

Hi! I'm going in on October 3rd and I'm a bundle of Nerves....I'm new to this site, and reading all these Feeds make me even more nervous.. I haven't got an endoscopy.... And I wasn't told to go on a liquid diet either....feeling so overwhelmed!

BigMAlways, I didn't have a endoscopy either. I'm right there with you on being nervous. My date is Oct 1st and I did have to do a 10 diet, just depends on what your surgeon wants. Now that it's just a few days away it's so REAL. Knowing that this is a life changer. I know I'm ready but I'll also be learning new things, that's a scary thought too, after all I've lived in THIS body for 50 years.

I'm scheduled the 30th and I have a stress test this Friday and for some reason he wanted me to do blood work on my period (cardiologist) so blood work tomorrow. The 22 I find out from my last two doctors if I'm good to go or not so fingers crossed everyone!

I was hoping for October as I finished classes today but was told October was booked and so was November .. So October is out for me :( End of December or January

I was supposed to have mine on November 12th but I called once a week to check for cancellations and now I am scheduled for October 3rd. I would ask to be put on the waiting list if there is one. Good luck!

Hi everyone, I have been following along and trying to get a chance to respond. Surgery is Oct 2nd and I have been a bit overwhelmed between getting ready, making sure family will be taken care of and work. So I finally have a minute. I will admit I am now a bit nervous but I know this is going to be a wonderful journey. I am happy to be on this journey with all of you. Its always nice to have people who understand. I started my pre op diet which was Protein but have changed to a Liquid Protein diet as I fill up fast and wasn't getting much food in me anyway. I will be thinking of you all during your surgeries. I leave for Mexico Wednesday morning and surgery is Thursday. I will post when I can. Best wishes and hugs to everyone :)

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?
