I am from Portland Oregon by the way. My surgery is Thursday February 5th and I have nothing prepared. The only thing I have is my boost for my 2 week liquid diet. I actually started a week early and I went to see my surgeon last Friday and I've lost 13 pounds since starting the boost. Now this is week 2 & I am on a roll not looking back

Chicago Illinois here....my date is February 24th. Just got it 10 minutes ago. And it can't come fast enough, I have a Lap Band in there that has slipped, and it HURTS....I've been in pain and puking for 3 years now, and I can't wait for it to be taken out!!! I should have had a GB to begin with! Good Luck everyone!!

Got my date! February 16th. I started liquid diet with the hope that I'd go on Feb 9th. Soooo... Should I keep going or eat solids? I feel like mentally, I'm in a good place and it makes me think that I should keep going.

I have my pre-op appointment the day before my surgery. It makes me nervous that something is going to go wrong that day and my surgery will have to be pushed back when it's so close. I've been doing all that I am supposed to be doing but there is still that irrational fear that something will go wrong. Do you guys feel like that sometimes too?

I do Amber...I worry that they will find something last minute and say oh well we are sorry but we can't do your surgery. After six months of working towards it surgery day kind of feels like waiting for christmas lol.

I'm glad to know others get that feeling too. It's a week away and I am slowly starting to get nervous/panic. I'm so excited I just want this to happen so badly!! My fiance is having the sugery two weeks after mine. It's relieving to know that he will be going through this with me. Our grocery bill will be so less expensive!!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
