That is so exciting!!! You're gonna rock it!

You are almost there- just hang tough, you got this!

Can't wait to hear about all the good things that are coming your way!

Congratulations on the weight you've lost so far preop!! You are going to do great through surgery and recovery too! I am nervous and a bit scared more from the pain aspect, but having a good surgeon helps put the mind at ease.

Thank everyone for their support and encouragement !!!!

I know you're counting down the days. Good luck and take care.

@smaller_sav don't get me wrong I am nervous the closer it does get and it is now just two days away and I am a big baby when it comes to pain thank goodness for pain meds for after surgery. I have been in some pain due to my weight issue like my back knees and joints but haven't taken anything and I know that surgery pain will be far greater than and pains I feel now. I am just ready to get through the hardest part of surgery and recovery . I thought the hardest part would be the month long liquid diet but know that seems to be like cake work now that I am 2 days away from completing that which I honestly thought I would not make it through

My surgery is also on Monday!

@Lynda486 I wish you luck and wellness for your surgery and I am relieved to know I am not alone I have to be in at 530 for a 730 surgery first on the agenda what time is your surgery

We will have to check in with one another later this week. I don't have a time for surgery , just a check in time, but I assume it will be about 7:45 or so. All this waiting is almost over!

I'm two days away now and the nerves are setting in! Today is your surgery day @Rays of Sunshine? I wish you the best of luck and prayers for a speedy recovery!!

Agreed on the liquid diet! At this point that seems like the last two days aren't so bad!

so at weigh in before surgery I had lost a total of 35 I am now home after a one night stay was able to keep liquids down and walk consistently no nausea which surprised me and the nurse doing well here at home just a little sore and relaxing while constantly sipping water Let the recovering begin. want to thank everyone for the support and encouragement makes me wonder why I was so nervous and scared to start with
