I'm the 16th! I am 6 days into my pre op diet. I have lost 11 lbs during pre op so far but I am struggling with headaches and diarrhea. Haven't cheated though.

High weight 265. Current weight 245. 5'4". 38 years old.

I am 13 th!!!!!! Can't wait!

I am also on the 13th!!!

Brilliant...must help each other through!!!

Yay your doing great! I have lost 4 as of this morning but I am not on liquid as most I seen are! I weigh 250 and am 5'5.5.

Sam 42 me either how are you feeling? I am super nervous and excited all at the same time like it's unexplainable I keep going over the handbook they gave me I meet with my surgeon Tuesday to have an all day seminar type thing it is going to be here before we know it!

Miaf same question to you also how are you feeling? Are you ready how is your all diet going? Have you all already bought for after surgery I went to the grocery tonight and got bullion cubes for soup and apple sauce and muscle milk what types of things have you all bought to eat?

Ritcheycop, I am nervous but just to be on the other side. I have done the being large for long enough. Because I am traveling for my surgery, I have been preparing this past week with the essentials I need to take and for sure what I need for post op. I went to the Costco and bought the heavy items, broth, protein, vitamins. Things I won't be cleared to carry until much later. And of course loaded up on sugar jello. I figured for the perishables I would wait right until the day before I leave. As for the diet, I start in the morning. I am on a five day pre-op. But I do notice that over the past few days I have been eating less and less and letting my stomach get to the point where it makes noise; it may be weird but it makes me feel good.

I already had the bouillon cubes and other items on hand. Things like hebiclens (skin cleanser), gas-x strips, heating pad, etc. I picked up already as well.

Oh speaking I totally forgot jello lol! Yeah that's what I'm mostly nervous about too! I'm ready to start the new chapter of my life ???? how far are you having to travel for your surgery?

I am having my surgery in Mexico, and will be traveling from Texas to San Diego by plane.

Well safe travels! Hope you have some family going with you, are you planning to stay for a few days or are you going to be making the trip straight there and straight back

I decided to go alone, as many who have it done in Mexico do. The plan is for the turn around to be 5 days; go there spend the night in a hotel, have testing and surgery the next day. Over night at the hospital, and 2 nights and a wake up in the hotel before flying back home. Thanks, best wished to you. I look forward to this journey with you. I will update on how I am feeling once I start the pre-op. : )
