Thanks everyone! I appreciate the support. Like Daisee68 said these two things kept me from doing this sooner too. I'm just so nervous about Wednesday in general. Trying to relax. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I can't believe it but my surgery is this Wednesday. I have a couple of obsession and am looking for ideas. I don't want to look and feel worse after surgery. To be honest I'm scared to death to have surgery but have wanted this for so long. I've never been anything but overweight almost all of my life. Change is so scary. I'm scared about losing hair. Does Biotin really help? Anything else that works? Also what about loose skin? Ways to prevent it? Exercises? Thanks in advance!!! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Hi, my surgery is July 20th! Of course I'm on the liquid pre-op diet now and will be on liquid right after surgery. But what vegetarian soft foods did those that are post eat? I'm trying to plan ahead. I don't want to purée foods-that totally grosses me out. I would mash legumes but that's about it and I'm not sure if that's even ok? Wondering if anyone has a go to list of soft high Protein foods they could share? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Michilingi congrats on your date! I'm not really gonna cheat. Last night I was just in a bad state. Today was easier. I was even able to exercise. My guidelines were really brief. Basically 3 carnation shakes, sugar free Jello (I'm eating vegan jello because I couldn't do hoofs), 1 low sugar yogurt or sugar free pudding a day, broth once a day ( I'm having homemade veggie broth because I'm a vegetarian), Water, crystal light, 1 serving of fruit, sugar free Popsicles. It didn't say you couldn't have them but I saw online most people's diets said you can have sugar free fudgicles so last night I got those and feel better. I can't take anymore fruity taste. I know I can do this and it will be worth it not wow were the first two days hard. Do you have a similar pre-op diet? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Hi everyone, my surgery date is July 20th and so I'm on the pre-op liquid diet and literally starving. It's awful! I want to cheat so badly. Would cheating one time screw up my liver shrinking? I'm so hungry. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
