So these past few days I have been so anxious. I started my liquid diet, 5 shakes a day, on Sunday. I feel good, I have lost about 8lbs since I started. But I can't stop thinking about surgery and how my life will change and it is making me so anxious! I am just so excited to start this new chapter in my life. My brother was a diabetic and had VSG 2 years ago and he looks amazing and is now diabetes free. So I know this works and I can't wait to see my results and really be able to look back and see the transformation. I am so humbled that I have a great support system in place and they are in my corner rooting for me.

I am excited for you. Just remember it isn't all sunshine and roses. It can get frustration. Try to keep your positive attitude and lean on your support network (including us) if you need to. Congratulations! And we will see you on the loser's bench very soon.

@Angiesweigh I definitely understand what you mean about anxious. My stomach is in knots every day thinking bout the surgery. You will get through this and this forum helps.
