Mine is on the 29th I start my preop Saturday, am so scared n excited this is all I think about 24/7. There is so much going on in my family right now I feel like this going to be a long and hard road, but am ready somewhat. I know I can't be fully ready for this process even if I tried.

I just keep telling myself imagine yourself a year from now you won't be here, you won't feel unhealthy you won't feel this joint pain you are in all the time. Is the little things that keeps me going as scared I am about this change in my life as unready I feel, I know the only thing that can go wrong from here on is a better faster happier me. And for that I have already proved I am willing to do anything by making this choice.

Good luck to all you brave souls, lets do this!!! ????????

Sorry about those Spartans, at least you got more important things on the horizon.

That was heart breaking. I am happy that most of March Madness is happening while I am off work recovering. Then my team gets bounced in the first round when they are one of the favorites to win a national championship!!! Argh.

Oh well, I have more important things to focus on, and I still enjoy the tourney. Next year. There is always next year.

Day 4 of the liquid diet. Much easier than I expected. I've discovered that I really, really like broth now considering it actually smells and tastes like food. Plus, I'm down 7 lbs! Can't tell you how long it's been since the scale has actually moved down. 48 hours from now I will be in pre-op. Right now I'm trying to stay busy cleaning house, doing laundry and doing my best not to let my anxiety build. Somehow, the closer I'm getting to Monday the calmer I'm getting. I really wasn't expecting that. Now let's just hope it stays that way! Good luck everyone getting their Protein on this weekend :rolleyes:

      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!!
