Ok guys it's three more weeks until my surgery date! :-). Yeah! I'm feeling like a winner. I was scared, reluctant, and insecure about having bariatric surgery, but as my surgery date approaches my mood has changed. I'm not afraid of sagging skin or hair loss. I'm afraid of not seeing my only child not graduate high school or being there when she graduates from college. Since her dad is gone I will walk my baby down the aisle one day. These thoughts bring me joy and I'm ready for life and I will no longer exist.

October 6 is my big day. But today's the first day of my preop liquid diet (woof! This is gonna be rough.)

You guys must be so thrilled that your dates are almost here! Any advice for someone a few days behind?

Jolisue, I think that's a typical side effect from painkillers. but keep an eye on it and maybe ask your dr about stool softeners. They warned my husband about the risk of impacted colon due to painkillers after his hernia surgery. - but if you did a liquid diet there might not be much to poop anyway lol
