Just got the my date today, Sept. 21st - I'm excited and nervous all at once! Having a date makes this whole journey so real. Up to now I was just following instructions and now it like... WOW, this really is happening NOW!

HeidiA I am also scheduled for my surgery on September 24th. I am beyond excited how about you?????

BeDoHave - Same here! Very pleased to finally have my day; it's been a long time coming. I'm in South Florida. I wish you luck on your surgery.

Good luck to all of us.... I can't wait for Monday!!!!

Best of luck!

Best wishes for an uneventful surgery and a fast recovery as you start on your new path in life!

HeidiA. I am in Alberta Canada. I would love to hear how your surgery goes next Thursday! Here's to a very successful surgery and new life for us both!????

Was not totally compliant with pre-op diet. Now I have to go weigh in and see if I can still have sleeve done Wednesday. I pray I can. If I can't do it now, I don't think another week will help. I've waited so long. I'm scared to fail.

Don't even think of the possibility of failure! You can do this! And YOU will succeed!!

Day 3 of liquid diet; 4 more days to go!

Thank you. I'm ready for the journey to better health.

Surgery in the morning

Well. I'm on day 10 of liver shrinking. The proverbial half way point. I've been pretty good. Only cheat i had was about 2 kernels of popcorn at the cinema stolen from a mate (i had a tub of blackberries from my allowances and a bottle of sparkling water as my movie snack) and a postage stamp sized piece of potato bread.

All in all I have been a good boy so far and can't see myself deviating too much in the next ten days. Still have to try harder with the protein shakes though. Sick to the eye teeth of them now but hey ho.

Anybody else gearing for surgery on the 1st of October? I'd love to find a buddy who is getting "knifed" same day as me!

To the journey ahead folks and if anybody has just had theirs done and is reading this in a hospital bed then I command you to smile and then take a little walk in my honour.

To the future
