I finally got my date today! I will be getting my surgery on March 9th!!! I am so excited and 100 things are running through my head! Any advice from people who have already had the surgery? Any one else getting theirs done in March??

March 2nd, whoop whoop

Are you exercising? Sometimes that will make you gain weight too. You could not be eating enough...you know how that works, you body will go into starvation mode. I can totally understand what you are going through...it can be so frustrating. My fingers are crossed that the scale will move for you...in the right direction!

This is day 8 on pre-op. I'm doing 2-3 protien shakes per day and cabbage or brussel sprouts occasionally. I need to lose another 6lbs by next thursday and I'm freaking out!! I woke up this morning and the scale said I GAINED a lb!! How does that even happen?!? Anyone have any advice?? I have to be under a certain BMI to avoid having to pay an extra fee. 6lbs in 7 days.....someone help!

I'm right there with you on this...super hard to watch someone eat something you love. I sometimes have to leave the room because it's just to much for me. I'm such a wimp!

March 9th as well!

I've been on the pre-op diet for a few days. Messed up the first couple dinners!

Better these last couple days. It's been tough. It's mostly tough when my husband is eating dinner and I'm eating my small, healthy dinner.

March 16th! has anyone heard of successful ways to minimize loose skin throughout the weight loss? I know I'll have some under my arms and my belly. I'm also concerned to loose the little booty I have and get sagging boobs. /: any tips?

good luck to everyone having their surgery before march 31st. that will be my day. cheers to living better and making it through every hardship on the way to greatness, if not to happiness at least.

on the 17th i have a 2 week pre op appointment where i am sure i will have a liquid only diet just like everyone else. may it be easy.

Found out last Thursday that my surgery I was aiming for to be done in June due to homeschooling is now going to be March 18th :-) I am thankful I have great support ready to help me so I can go through with this. I turned 33 on February 2nd and have had many health issues so I am excited for this new chapter in my life. Anyone else close to the 18th? I am from upstate ny.

On day 4 of my liquid pre diet ...doing ok - I am finding that chewing trident gum is really helping

I cant remember if I posted here or not. I've got my date! March 24th!

I'm am! To be truthful, the pre-op liquid diet makes me nervous but hey, once day at a time, right?

I'm March 5th :-) Happy Dance!!

March 3rd here, struggling with this pre op diet. I've cheated way too much. Never consumed more than 1,000 calories a day, but afraid that this weakness will cause catastrophe for my mind after surgery. Anyone else?

I'm actually on a preop diet for almost a month now. Not feeling that great today. I've been doing two shakes and then a small meal so I don't think that the liquid diet is going to be that difficult for me. At this point I have absolutely no hunger at all and that worries me a little bit. I don't think you're going to have any problem if you put your mind to it.

I'm scheduled for March 3rd too and I feel exactly the same. Even gone as far too think Omg I don't know if I can do this? Which makes me cry because I want it so bad, but I feel like food has control over me :-/
