Hello everyone! Has anyone else received March 10 as a surgery date? Was thinking we could all swap info to help keep each other motivated!!

What do you mean by struggling mentally with LSD?

From reading this site, I think its referred to as head hunger. I do fine during the day while at work, but at home when my family is eating dinner I struggle. I just have to stay strong and power through it. Certainly I'm not the only one who has felt this way, right?

Nope!

This liquid diet is brutal. Yesterday was worse than today and I'm nearly halfway through. How are you guys doing?

It’s just makes me super tired. I’m hitting my protein and water so I just try to keep that in the back of my mind. I try to walk out of the room anytime my husband and or daughter are eating something that I can’t.

Don't even worry about it, just keep on keeping on and it will all be over soon!

Only 4 days now???

I'm having severe cold feet and a bit depressed from lack of food I guess! It's not pretty. Anyone else?

Yeah super nervous. More so about having regrets after than any complications. I lost 10 lbs this month by following the diet. So it gets on my head that I could do this without surgery if I keep doing what I’m doing now. But I also know I’ve told myself this before and it didn’t work.

We're too close to go back now! I suppose we just got to keep our heads low those 2 days and then deal with everything one day at a time.

Best of luck to all!

Exactly! I think we’re going through very normal and predictable experiences here, for your posts above echo mine! All of them! It’s been a very exciting journey, and Yes! I’m ready for it to happen and be over, but it’s like the feelings/experiences, fear of regret, almost a sadness, is today. It helps knowing others are having same...and I trust we will come through this as Happy with our decisions as 99% of others who have gone before us are.

Hugs, prayers and smiles to my WLS siblings!

March 11th here. Super excited (and a little anxious)! I am doing a LSD which isn't much fun but I'm getting through it easier than I thought. At least I can eat something on it! Good luck all, we're almost there!

That second day of the liquid diet was really hard, but things have been a lot better since. Closing day 6 now and I honestly don't feel like any more protein shakes and I would love to eat something crunchy, but... laser focus. Two kid parties this weekend and I survived!

Suddenly panicking now that the office called with my arrival and OR time for tomorrow. I'm worried this is a mistake and I'm a mess. ?
