I just got my surgery date for March 5. I am excited and nervous at the same time but I'm trying to hold it all together.

How many weeks off work is everyone taking?

I'm taking three, only because I have concerns about fatigue. I'll definitely work from home a little the first week and may go into the office part time next second and third weeks. Just gonna play it by ear and see how I feel.

You are doing really well! Looks like you have lost almost 100 pounds already.

Thank you, I was hoping to hit 100 before surgery but looks like I will come up a couple of pounds short. I didn’t want to waste my pre op time, it’s been a long journey to surgery.

I am having the surgery on March 9. I am very nervous/excited also. I would like to have kept my surgery a little more private but have received a lot of advice from a coworker who is a fellow sleever. So instead of assuming they will keep my confidence I have been pretty open about it. Also my mother-in-law, who can't hold water, saw my obesity surgery folder. Normally I am very private person so this is a little uncomfortable for me, but I am hoping it will help hold me accountable.

I’m March 9th as well! Where are you located?

March 7th here! Can’t believe it’s right around the corner.

So excited!! My surgery is March 5th. Praying for all of you. Bless you on your journey. I have been 2 years in getting insurance to approve.

My son had his 2 half years ago. He had times when it seemed like no weight was coming off. He is now down over 140 lbs.

How's the pre-op diet coming along for everyone? Today was day 8, and I have to say, I had a ton of energy. Today was the first day I actually felt great. And I'm down 8 pounds so far.

I start pre-op liquid diet on Wednesday. Any tips?

Floridagal1976 that's AWESOME!! I'm day 4. Yesterday was weird. At "lunch," my shake made me a little sick to my stomach. I'm feel like I was just hangry the first two days, now my tummy just feels blah. I'm having a protein shake 3 times a day and 2 yogurts. Any suggestions on substitution?

I am on Day 5 and I have a lot more energy too. I'm down about 3-4lbs since Day 1 but I'm on my cycle now, so I'm bloated. Can't wait to see how much I lose in total before surgery!!
