GOOD luck everyone! I have been so so on my pre-op diet, some days great, others not good. Now that it’s a few days away, all liquid from here on out. Excited and a bit nervous as well:)

I’m having surgery on 10/17 as well! I’ve been super excited in the last few months but since it’s the final countdown I’ve been a bit anxious. [emoji28]

I was scheduled for the 18th of October. Today they called today to ask if I wanted to change it to the 17th. I said YES.
Now the anxiety is kicking in. I know it is the right thing for me to do but I hate the thought of having to be cut. I have always been squeamish about that kind of thing.
What are your fears ?

Yep it's right around the corner. I try not to think about the actual surgery. I try to remember that I'll be out while they are doing it. My Dr acts like almost no one is in pain because he uses this new Med on the actual surgical sites that are like novocaine and last 2 days. We will see!

Hey Oct 17th er's - - our final weekend is here!! 3 more days :blink: :o :51_scream: I don't know about you, but it's been a long 6 month process of Drs and numerous visits and tests and jumping through hoops and over hurdles to get to this point. All while suffering from Fibro, chronic pain, chronic fatigue, on and on and on. Hello! I'm having surgery because I don't have the energy to do all the acrobatics that have been required of me - lol! The last 3 days of this incedious liquid pre-surgery diet. Then I can finally see the light at the end of the tunnel and know, yep KNOW that it has all been worth it! If hubs eats 1 more good meal in front of me, I might scream - - :47_tired_face:. Calgon take me away!

Mine was planned for the 17th, been a long process to get here. I live in Sonoma County in California and evacuated from the wildfires. Got notice this morning that it’s canceled and they’ll contact me when ready to reschedule. Of course that’s fine for the obvious reasons but also I can’t go home yet so no place to recover at this point. Life all around sucks right now. Hopefully I’ll have a new date soon!!

Good luck with all your upcoming life changing surgeries- I’ll be following you [emoji173]️[emoji174][emoji173]️

MissT_SR I am so very sorry for your loss and your changes. I have friends out your way that have now been misplaced due to the fires and it is a heartbreaking life change. I know right now it doesn't look or feel like there is an end in sight, but there will be. And, you will find a place ........a new area to "call yours".

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
