Surgery went great. Was extremely tired and drowsy yesterday. Sleep most of the day and most of the morning. Very sore at the big incision. Hurts to move up and down. I am not really hungry. When I do it i feel nauseous. Hoping it will pass soon. Thanks for all of the prayers!

I am having my surgery on Saturday. (Yes it's on a Saturday). I am craving a glass of wine. I think it's nerves. How bad is it to have a glass before surgery? I have been very strict on my liquids and done very good. Thought?

You got this!! Leave all doubt and negativity at the door. Remember, tomorrow is the first day of your second chance at life so don't let it go to waste!! [Please give this pep talk back to me in a couple of weeks ] Prayers going up for you for a speedy recovery!! Keep us updated!! @@destiny_77 thank you. I am nervous but definitely ready. I am About to try and get some sleep. I am looking forward to my new life!! And I will be there for you when you have yours to pep you up!! Haha. I will let you know how it goes!!!

Thanks!!

Thank you @@Nikke25 and yours will be here before you know it!!

My surgery is tomorrow I am getting very nervous!!!

Thanks I did not do it!

I think they will still do the surgery? do they require you to lose weight?

I started my 2 weeks of liquids today. I am not really hungry as more of it is head hunger than anything. I do have a headache. I believe it is from no caffeine. I have a very supportive husband. He is doing the shakes with me. He said he doesn't want me to have to go through this alone. (He doesn't need to lose weight). It's very sweet. I am starting to doubt the surgery. I think it's because it's hard and I am scared. I am just going to take it one day at a time I am upset I let myself get here. I know it's just all in my head and this is what I have fought for for the last 6 months. Did anyone else feel this way? As I write this I am crying. So many emotions. I had to write them down. This site has been good and this the. sometimes it freaks me out. Any advice or support would be greatly appreciated.

I have lost 10 lbs so far. I have 4 more days of it. My surgery is this Saturday. @@meganmom - what are you eating/drinking? I need some ideas. Kudo's to you too because I don't know how you're doing it! I have been drinking Protein shakes throughout the day and only eating supper, I don't know if I can do the liquids all day but I'm willing to try. It is super hard. I can drink 5 shakes a day. Honestly I am not hungry I just want to eat food because I like food. I have some major willpower I never knew I had. I have had broth 2 times. The chocolate shakes with frozen strawberries and cheesecake Jello powder in it is really yummy. I did cheat once. You can do it @destiny__77

I have lost 10 lbs so far. I have 4 more days of it. My surgery is this Saturday. Good luck today!!!Thank you! Let us know how it goes!

I having a hard time figuring out what type of Vitamins to buy. There are so many of them and vitamins usually make me sick. Please help!! Thanks!

My doctor actually gave me a sample and it made me feel bad. But thanks!

I will say day 4 of the liquid diet has gotten a little easier. Still hard to see my family eat but I am really not hungry!! I am have already lost a couple of pounds! I am try to look on the bright side of things!!

Thanks. I will look into those!

Congrats!!

how did surgery go?

So happy for you!!!

Thanks you too!! And I think my husband probably eats whatever he wants when he isn't around me????

That's a great idea. And yes we can do it. It's just really hard! Side note:I am found out that chewing gum as helped a lot today. Sugarless of course!!

This is how I feel too. I think of everything and my brain will not shut off. It is driving me crazy! lol

Thank you for your responses. I this might sound horrible but I am glad I am not the only one. I hope everything goes great for you. Please let me know how it goes. I want it desperately as well. I want my life to change. I have two children and it is hard keeping up with them. I want this for me.

Awesome!! I was going to order some stuff today but will wait until tomorrow!!

Dr Westmoreland is wonderful! Good luck!! Let us know how it goes!!
