OMgosh I can so identify with you about quitting smoking and gaining, I have done it too. Uuugh, it's so hard not to gain when there's nothing to smoke! Best wishes to you!!

I hear you loud and clear. I think I'm past the worst of it for sure. Now all I can think about is getting through the next 10 days before my surgery. The pre-op diet is going fine with the exception of a daily late afternoon headache. A couple Tylenol seems to take care of it. I've lost 10lbs. so far.

I've added you as a friend, so keep in touch anytime.....

November 13th for me, I am going to start Liquid Protein diet a week before,. Nervous about the trip to the hospital not nervous about the procedure. I am so excited to start my new journey.

New Jeffrey... We're both looking forward to the fourth. These last few days are going to fly. I have one problem I have a terrible head cold. I am afraid they might make me postpone surgery . Resting this weekend drinking lots of fluids taking cold medicine and zinc hoping this doesn't get worse. I'll die if I have to wait and reschedule. I've been waiting too long already. Good luck to you..... these days leading up to surgery.

Jen I'll be praying that you feel better so that the 4th is a go. My youngest Son had a cold last week, he's six years old, he usually sits in my lap in the evenings and reads books from school to me. I hated to do it, but I wouldn't let him get near me with that cold :--(. I felt so bad, but for now this is about focusing on moving forward towards a healthier, happier, and abundant lifestyle!! We are both going to have our surgeries on the 4th!!!

I'll sure be thinking of you both this coming week. I'm going in a week from Tuesday.

jenn, I hope your cold gets better fast. Hopefully it won't delay your big day. I'll keep my fingers crossed for you.

Jeffrey, I love your idea of being the "new" Jeffrey. Next year at this time we'll all be "new". Can't wait!!

Best wishes you two.

I am super nervous too but I know there is no turning back. Just keep thinking how much better you are going to feel down the road

@@cholliman - Welcome! My surgery is the same day as yours. What are you having done? I am getting an RNY in Tenn too. I am really excited but also getting nervous and a bit overwhelmed at time when I think about how BIG of a change this will be in my life in so many ways. Most of them are really good ways though so I try to focus the most on those. In a way, it isn't too different from when I was about to give birth for the first time. Nervous and scared about the actual event, but also really looking forward to the new life! Also the long wait building up to everything and not believing the day is finally almost here. Of course, no one threw me a shower this time, but hey, maybe they should!

@@Dabliss111114 - Congratulations on losing all that you had gained when you quit smoking - and more! Your doctor didn't have to be such a jerk about it, but I am sure he will be very pleased and this also gives you a running start!

My surgery is November 10th. Up until this past week I was scheduled for a sleeve. When I went to my pre op appointment with my surgeon he informed me that my endoscopy showed I have Barrett's esophagus and I should do bypass instead! Now I am trying to find more info on byapss as far as post op diet etc. I was totally prepared for the sleeve and I was wondering how much of a dufference there is post op??
