Tomorrow (Aug 25th) is the first day of my new healthy life!!!! I am soooooooo excited. I have an entire closet of "I'm going to fit into that again" waiting for me!!! I lost 11lbs on the pro op diet and I am in a great place emotionally - thinking positive is the only way. Thank you all for the great tips. Hearing the good and the bad is helpful.

Sending positive energy your way! I didn't sleep last night and I prob won't tonight either. The next few days will be interesting. Thankfully my Dr gave me all the meds to cover things that may happen (like GasX strips and anti nausea tabs). Do you have to give yourself the anti blood clot shots for 2 weeks? I do, and that is the only thing I am not looking forward to

No, no shots!! Thankful bc I don't think I could give myself a shot! I haven't gotten anything beforehand, I think he will prescribe based on what I'm feeling after surgery. Sending positive vibes your way as well! Here's to New Beginnings!!

My day is tomorrow as well! Good luck to all of us. Excited and nervous. I lost 15 lbs in the pre-surgery diet, so I'm really excited to see what happens next. Let's all stay in touch! Good luck!!

Just found out my surgery isn't until 5pm ish....no food or water until then.....I guess a little retail therapy is called for

Congrats on surgery! I too have mine tomorrow. I check in at 5:20, and surgery around 7:30. I'm nervous, I'm excited. I've been on full liquid diet today, and have been trying to prepare my home and hospital bag. I've found that Trader Joe's Roasted Red Pepper and Tomato Soup with a little non-fat plain yogurt mixed in for protein tastes pretty good. And after nothing but sweet protein shakes all day feels like I'm actually eating. Good luck to both of my fellow patients as we begin this beatiful journey to better health!

Congratulations ,my surgery is also tomorrow and it's funny I lost 11lbs too on my liquid diet. I have to be at the hospital at 8:15 am. Good luck to you and everyone else who's having their surgery on tomorrow.
