thank you for this. this gets me even more pumped and excited for my surgery on Monday! You're an inspiration!

Day 11 and still pumped! I had my pre-op diet weigh in and I have lost a total of 19lbs since I started this! The weekend will be a breeze as Monday is the big day. Surgery is at 10:30 am! WOO

Day 10 and I am at the point where I am not thinking about eating. I am also not caring for the shakes anymore. I am keeping my water intake up and drinking my broth. But I havent had SF jello since Monday. Cannot wait until Monday,

Day 8. I was really hungry when i woke up but I had some double broth for breakfast with my shake and now i feel full. Since I am down 15 lbs (since I started this journey in April) my plantar fasciitis today (so far) is not painful. I also started listening to this book called Bariatric Mindset Success Live Your Best Life and Keep the Weight off After Weight Loss Surgery By: Kristin Lloyd. She also had the surgery. Good luck today everyone!

thanks! you will!

good luck today. woo hoo so exciting!

Day 4. First day I craved food. Catered lunch today was a taco bar [emoji849] My focus is Nov 18 so I made it through. The broth today tasted like a roasted juicy chicken lol I am tired but inside I'm pumped lol. Sent from my SM-G955U using BariatricPal mobile app

Hey! How is your pre-op going? Your surgery is Monday! YAAY!

Day 3 and still pumped. I have a headache but its manageable. I survived day 1 of my job's catered break/lunch.

Im doing pre-op now and I have diarrhea. Its not raging yet but its such an inconvenience lol

very well said!

I am in pre-op as my surgery is also the 18th. Do not dread it the pre-op diet. Go into with grace and positive vibes and come here to vent out the frustrations!

Thanks everyone. Day 1 was not as bad as I thought it was going to be. I did not crave food. Day 2 may be another story as we get catered breakfast/lunch tues-th at work. Lucky for me, the food is downstairs and I am upstairs. I also have a headache today (as expected) but in all I am still pumped.

OMG I have been saying NO all day. Its one person who is so annoying and persistent. I literally I had to get elevated b/c she kept trying to press me, In the end, it felt food to say no.

I also started pre-op diet today. Its 330 pst and so far so good. I am now starting to get nervous and scared because this is real!

my surgeon says 6 months but even then it should be minimal. we also signed an agreement.

Saw surgeon yesterday. Picked up pre-op diet stuff. Start it on Monday! ITS HAPPENING!
