Hey everyone,

I am so excited to get going on this weight loss journey. I feel like I have tried so many other things but with this I feel I can have long term success! I got a bug to get it done and had my first doctor appt. Oct. 17th and it felt like it took forever to get scheduled but it really wasn't very long I guess. I am anxious to get it over with.

Scared of pain, wondering what I will eat. Anyone have any favorite Protein powders? I hear they will be my friend. The only ones I tried in the past were yucky! What about shakes? I like Optifast but they are pricey. Any decent ones out there?

Hoping for some buddies to go through this with me!

Chris.

I feel like a kid on Christmas. I woke up well before my alarm and couldn't go back to sleep. I report at 8 and have surgery at 10.

Good luck to everyone starting their journey today! Sending love, prayers, and good vibes your way. ❤

Good luck everyone. My gastric bypass is today at 2:45pm. Have to be at the hospital at 1pm. Very nervous but also very excited at the same time. Never had surgery before so this is going to be a long nervous day. Reading the posts of folks who have already had it done really helps though.

Surgery time is 8:15am it's now 7:40 - nurse here is great helping me come down from my anxiety - tick tock.,.

Good luck and prayers to you Davis.

I'm waiting to get my iv then I'm already for surgery. I'm also starving. When you know your not allowed is when you really want it.
