My surgery is coming up on April 20th - Anxiety kicking in - I feel like it's my first trip to Disney and I'm all in my head.

Same day, same feeling! Although I'm also stressed about this liquid diet and not losing enough weight pre-op - I need to step away from the scale, as it only shows 2 lbs lost in a week. I was hoping to lose 10 in pre-op stage.

Yesssssssssss! Tell me about it!! I'm soooooooo in my head!! I go Monday! 4/17 ... I'm on day 12 down 14 lbs and started thinking why can't I just keep doing this! I'd be happy at 180 ? because I know once I slip... That one time I think I'm ok....... and start eating carbs.... and breads will lead me down that addiction slippery slope!!! I already know I can't do it on my own!!!! I've tried EVERYTHING!!! I want a chance with this tool a new small tummy to start over ? I'm going to work hard at it! Feed it only what it needs! Get all my fluids in! Lose as much as I can in this first year and then I might try lil treats here and there. I need to get a hold of this food addiction. ?

I wish you all the best! ??☝???♥️

You are going to do great!

April 17th RNY 12 days liquid ugh!!

To all of you on your pre-op diet, great job so far and hang in there. I was you 2 weeks ago (had my surgery on 4/6). It feels like forever now, while you are in it, but surgery will be here before you know it. The first few days are hard, but I’m now on day 8 and just finished a 3 mile walk, enjoying the warm night. Everything feels easier now, despite still being in the beginning of the healing stage. Good luck to you all.

So surgery day is tomorrow (17th). Pre-op diet was a breeze but I won’t miss eating salad for a while ? Just wanted to say Good Luck to all the other April 17th buddies. I know there’s a few of us. Wishing you all a safe surgery ?

Yeah. The pre-op was fine as I was allowed 800 calories of actual food but it a LOT of salads! ?

We’ve made it though. That part is over. Onto a new chapter tomorrow! Best of luck. Hope all goes well for you.
