You're one week before I am. I am very excited, not too nervous. I think I more nervous about the 14 day liquid diet that I am the surgery. ? Were you able to make your 10% weight loss goal?

By the time I saw the doctor I was down 30 pounds and now I am down 46 pounds.

Welcome! I've been here for a couple of days, but have been reading the message boards for a while! My surgery is on Nov 6th, so it was time to start participating in this supportive community.

I'm going to start my preop diet this week and I'm not looking forward to giving up coffee. Am hoping for a miracle where my surgeon will say I can keep drinking it! Yeah right!

Thank you the loss has slowed down since I haven't been able to get to the gym or go walking in the evening.

I've been pretty much done with everything and have had my day since September. This waiting has been very long and tedious but I think also helpful. I'm still really nervous but not as much as before. Getting ready to start this liquid diet and I'm not looking forward to it just because of headaches and irritability. I'm already going through that having had to stop some medication before surgery. I'm just counting down for this procedure to be over and for a smooth recovery process. I'm curious what people are planning as far as work. How much time are you all taking off from work? I am working from home so I figure I'll get through the weekend and go back to work that week. I don't know. Perhaps I'm being overly optimistic but I hate taking time off from work and it's actually pretty convenient that I can work from home so....
