Well surgery went well and after 2 nights in the hospital I am home. Doctor said everything looked great, despite my little cheat, my liver looked perfect and I have been sent home with liquid pain meds to take every 2-4 hours as needed. It's amazing how my appetite is just non existent...

I hope everything went well with your surgery....mine is in 12 hours now eeeeee I'm so anxious

I'm hungry too!!!! Ahhhh 12 more hours before surgery and I'm fixing to shower and get some rest, normally I wouldn't be able to sleep but I have been so weak the past couple of days that I felt like I could have passed out hours ago. Wow this is so nerve racking

That's right around the corner!!!! I'm nervous too:) but a good kind of nervous:)

Sorry I can't quote everyone because I don't know how from my iPhone but to everyone above who's surgery is wed!!! WHOO HOO!! Please come back on here as soon as you have it so we can all see how you are feeling:) I just had my last appointment which was a meeting with my bariatric coordinator about what to expect the day of surgery. She asked me if I had any questions afterward and I was like "does the hospital have wifi? Can I bring my xbox?" Lmao!!

Good luck to everyone having their surgery today:) Mine is on Wednesday (I wish it was today). I'm getting really nervous though...

I feel as if I will be doing this alone. Not that I chose to, but my family is very judgmental so when I got the courage to tell them I was waiting on the insurance approval for WLS they (my mother and younger sister) said they didn't Agree but would be my support system. Less than an hour later I overhear them talking about me in the kitchen about how drastic and unnecessary this is and they will not condone it or help me through this. I am a single mom with a 19 month old and I will be hospitalized for 2-3 days. My daughters dad is in the army on a field exercise for a month and my surgery is in 3 days. I had to go to his parents to keep my daughter for me while I'm in the hospital and to help me with things at my apt post op. For about 4 weeks I tried to talk to my mom about it because I was hurt but her response was always "I don't want to talk about it" well when it came time for my liquid diet, her response was "surgery?!?! Next week?!?! How come you are just now telling me?!" Seriously woman??? So my good guy friend (kinda boyfriend) and a few coworkers are seriously my only support system (oh and my exs parents).

Hi All! I am a newbie here, I have stalked a lot of threads but never posted. I am on day 7 of my 10 day liquid diet and I have lost 14lbs so far, but I did cheat a little last night and I have been beating myself up over it all day long. I even had a dream that I was told no for my surgery Wednesday because I didn't loose enough weight. I am terrified and as soon as my daughter wakes up from her nap I am going to bit the gym at full force with what energy I can gather from the sole liquid diet:/ I don't want to sound pathetic, but I have been seriously obsessing over what the scale says every day and I don't want to get to the date that I waited so long for and my surgeon tell me he can't do it:/ anyone else feel this way?

Thank you so much. I actually moved the scale to the bathroom closet and won't touch it til Wednesday morning before I leave for the hospital. I guess I'm afraid because my cheat wasn't even food, I had a few beers (which was all I could have since I really didn't have that much on my stomach. I wasn't worried about it until I realized what I had done how much calories and carbs there are:/ I'm terrible I know....

I'm having mine April 23rd as well!!!! ???? my surgeon put me on a 10 day liquid diet and I am on day 7 and MISERABLE. I had my final appointment with my surgeon prior to the surgery last Tuesday and my pre op appointment on Wednesday. I am all but ready to pack my bag for the hospital! I am excited and nervous at the same time:)

My surgery is April 23rd:)
