Just wondering if there is anyone in the area(Michigan) who had a date close to mine or anyone in general for that matter that we could help each other out along the way :-) Its getting to the last few weeks and my nerves are starting to get to me.

Yay, I finally found a Protein drink that works for me which I'm stoked about because its been a long 6 mos trying all the different brands and flavors.

Is it strange that I made sure to up my life insurance policy just in case something bad happens, for some reason I am only thinking of the bad and not the good that can come out of this! Suggestions?

Thanks!

Hi, I'm scheduled for Oct 20th, here in CA. I am on day 5 of the pre-op diet and have realized that the weekends are the hardest while spending time with family/friends and being limited to protein shakes, chicken broth & 1 protein bar a day. I am so looking forward to this new chapter in my life. Good Luck to everyone and I would love to keep in touch!

that's really cool laylay!! what part of sc are you in? my brother and nephew are around Spartanburg, and I used to live in Horry County with my family from 1995-1997, I start my liquids on 10/17, all liquids for 10 days...then pretty much the same for first 2 weeks post op

I'm scheduled for 10/26 down here in Texas. I'm definitely feeling a mixture of things...but I'm mostly excited to start this next chapter in my life!! I spent my childhood, teens, 20's and half my 30's being overweight-super morbidly obese. This ends later this month! I'm finally taking control! I want to set a better example for my daughter!!

I got my surgery date today. My surgery is the 26 also! I'm in SC. I'm happy n nervous all at the same time! Start the pre-op diet on the 12th. 2 shakes n one meal a day!!

Hi I'm in Williamsburg County. I'm suppose to start my diet today. Two shakes and a high Protein meal for dinner. I actually started on Thursday. A couple of days early ????. I kinda messed up yesterday tho but not to bad. Anyway back on the band wagon for good now! It's crunch time now. 13 more days before surgery! Are you nervous?

I also am scheduled for 10/19!!!! VA here.

Are you ready? Are you doing liquid diet too? I started today!

Yea!! I'm a week from tomorrow. I start all liquids tomorrow. Bring it on.

Started liquid today! I'm doing people tomorrow! We have the same date!

I also am scheduled for 10/19!!!! VA here.

Are you ready? Are you doing liquid diet too? I started today!

I'm doing 3 shakes plus a small meal. I'm only required to do liquids the day before surgery. Good luck!!!

I have been on all liquids since 9/30 and I can see it really negatively effecting my mood. I think if I were able to have one healthy meal a day, it would have been a total game changer--so much easier! But, I've lost 14 lb, so I feel good about that. Wednesday can't come soon enough!

Getting my pre op testing done this morning ! Yahoo!

I think I'm going to move to all liquids on Thursday or Friday.

Clear liquids day 8 and this hasn't been as hard as I thought it would be thankful I've learned patience because the old me could not have been so dedicated to this

At this time next week -- I'll be sleeved! Can't wait to take my life back.

My surgery is today and I too have been unnerved ... Guess it's just the unknown... But we are gonna do great!!! My favorite is the redi made premier protein shakes I like to add a table spoon on PB2 with chocolate to the vanilla it Tastes like a Reese's cup,.. Yum and also I like to add a instant decaf coffee package to vanilla or chocolate for a Starbucks type drink... Just add ice and blend ... Hope this help!!!

I'm the 19th also. I had all my pre-op tests yesterday and have been on liquid /yogurt diet since last week-yuck-

I am just trying to stay focused and positive.

I have set a small goal to learn how to swim- which means buying a bathing suit!! YIKES!!

Getting nervous but excited

So I'm just gonna say some stuff . Maybe it will sound crazy - if so I blame it on liquid diet for 2 weeks lol-

Maybe its stuff you all thought about also.

I had the strangest thought the other day- what if this doesn't work either????

I mean, I have spent a small fortune ( enough to fund a small country I 'm sure) over the years on pre packaged foods plans, gyms , exercise equipment,trainers,pills, shots,drinks,-----did I miss anything???

and what if this too fails???

Is anyone else alittle freaked out?

I just needed to get it off my chest to people that (hopefully) get it.

Thanks for your support !

My blood work came back and my white blood cells are elevated. I have to go for more blood work and if they are still elevated they will cancel surgery. I am devastated.

Sorry to hear that. Try to stay focused and positive- think small obstacle a postponement is just that - its not a never will happen

good luck
