I’m having surgery in one day! I report at 5:30 am on Wednesday! Oh I hope I have the easier version of all of the July buddies in this group! If you’re religious pray for me on Wednesday!

Praying! You're not alone. You've got this!

Finally got my insurance approval just 16 hours before my surgery time! To my 7/25/2018 gastric bypass buddies @mercmerc and @Laura7, I pray for a complication-free surgery and recovery for you!

I've got my hospital bag packed with 2 changes of clothing, phone charger, cholesterol meds, toiletries, lip balm, dry mouth spray, tummy pillow, and earphones. CPAP goes in the bag in the morning, then it's off to Reston Hospital Center at 6:00 a.m. for a 8:45 surgery!

Ahh omg good luck!! We'll keep in touch! We can all get throught this! @Laura7 and @gr8tful1

Nervous as hell! Im on a 3 week liquid diet, so not having my comfort zone with food is making me feel the anxiety even more, but I got this! That's so cool we will be going in at the same time!

Had mine July 16

This looks like WLS Guidelines. Are you in Texas around the Houston area?

Yes! I'm in MN, if you're also central time it'll be actually the SAME TIME haha!

I hear you about the not having food as the go-to for comfort/reassurance/distraction. I've been having to stick to Netflix and avoid things with commercials because all the food ads are TOO MUCH! It's been good to get a head start on getting used to eating like this, but all these nervous/second guessing/scary nagging thoughts keep creeping in! Last week was my last week of teaching summer school so I don't even have students to distract me, just sitting around at home counting the days down.

How is the liquid diet going for you? I only had a two week liquid diet, I'm jealous of how much weight you're probably losing on your three week but it's been hard getting through just my first 1.5 weeks, I can't imagine having to do an additional one on top of that! Good for you!!
