I was approved for surgery and have to go see my surgeon on Oct. 23rd for a following up and start my 2 week liquid diet. I'm so happy but feeling nervous and wondering what's ahead. Any advice? I'm only 5 pounds away from my weight goal. I'm feeling so many different emotions right now. Someone please share their experience.

My bypass will be Oct 28th. I can't wait. I only had to lose 5 pounds which I did in a week but I hope to start a little pre-surgery diet of my own two weeks before surgery. I will also focus on exercise beyond walking. I am thinking it will help with the recovery.

5 pounds to go is not much at all. The 2 week diet will do it for sure.
