I'm also on the 16th. Starting to get nervous, one minute I'm 100% committed, the next I am second guessing this decision. Anyone else wrestling with nerves?

I'm also the 16th and although nervous, the past few days I've just been really excited! Looking forward to buying clothes and all that type of stuff????. I imagine however, that the last couple of days leading up to surgery the real nervousness will kick in!

I am on the 15th as well. I am so worried I start my pre op diet on monday. I feel bad for whining or being nervous about 7 days when most have to do 2 weeks. I wish i was one of the people who only had to do the day or 2 prior. It is getting so real. I finally watched a you tube video of an entire sleeve surgery. It was amazing I suggest anyone who can stomach it to watch. It was Interesting to know what it entails from start to finish.

I have a very liberal prep diet. 4 shakes, two fruits, 1 lean meal, 2 Jello Snacks. It's super easy but I haven't lost any weight. (Only 1lb) I have another week to go. I feel like I should be losing something. Have I stalled even before the surgery? Ugh. I'm tempted to do all shakes for the 2nd week.

Bebop I'm also 16th on day 6 of my liquid diet things are going great down a total now of 17 pounds since my preop visit and 9 since preop diet on Tuesday. I have fibromyalgia so my pain led me to this decision. I really can't say as Heidi said I'm sure days prior I'll have nerves kick in but 100% sure I want this. I also look forward to new clothes

AJP I start my liquid diet on Mon. too. Also only 7 days for we. I think we can do it!!

Seems like everyone else has started liquids and all this week I had food funerals. Went to my favorite places and ate my favorite things. I didn't over indulge or do Desserts but I have enjoyed my meals. Might do Mexican tonight for my final "meal" for awhile. Not going to feel bad about either!

On to a new way of life tomorrow. Gotta get my shakes in a row. Of course my work planned their Christmas dinner tomorrow night. I am obligated to go. I guess I'll be having green Beans for dinner hope they don't mind if I take my Protein shake!

My surgery is on the 16th and I'm on day 6 of my pre-op diet. The shakes are getting a little easier to get down (lots of gagging in the beginning). It's still really tough having to cook for my family and not being able to eat though, but I'm hanging in there. My husband will be home from work Tuesday and he'll feed them before I get home from work, so hopefully the rest of the days will go without problems.

I forgot to weigh myself before I started the pre-op diet, but I can definitely see some loss in my face and my pants are fitting a little looser!!!

Good luck to everyone...we can do this!!!!

      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!!

      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?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
