8/35 and counting Tomorrow we will be 10/35 almost 1/3 of us will have had their surgery.

I MISSED COUNTED we are 35 strong

[Amazeyem 32]

So I weighed myself today and I'm down to 297 from 303 my highest was 315 when I started my lifestyles classes. I reached my goal of under 300 before surgery. I have heard of people having much more success during the supervised 6 month diet phase but I'm patting myself on the back. There have been so many roadblocks and hurdles along the way. WE ALL DESERVE A PAT ON THE BACK! Good for us all to get to where we are!

Well I'm 4 days on my liquid diet and I totally feel like crap

[moffie 16]

Day 11 of pre op diet-5 Protein Shakes plus all the clear sf liquids I want. I've lost 12 pounds too! Really praying for everyone that it goes well with no complications and a fast recuperation time for each of us

. Surgery is sept 11! It's so surreal after this crazy year of 36 medical appts, 2 sleep studies, endoscopy, jumping thru hoops for insurance, taking off work so many times -that it's all so close now!! It's really going to happen!

321 was my highest-299 now and ready to go!!

Hang in there .. It will get better ! Every day u do it, it will help your surgery go easier. That thought alone is a great motivator!!!

Good luck stay stronge!

Ahhhhh so first of all. ... Today is the day!!!! I have to be at the hospital at 7am.. It takes 1.5 hrs for me to get there lol...so im up at 430 and i cant sleep. Oh and im starving. Nothing but Jello and broth today. Oh and like 5lbs of ice so i could crunch something. I am getting so nervous!!!!!!!

[Riverbuff2 15]

The Bucket List / Goals is a great idea. A few of mine are :

• My sister is getting married in august '13 and I don't want to be the center of attention or draw attention away from her.
  
• Buy a SMART CAR, if I can fit in one. I like things extreme, I have a jacked up ford excursion( very large) and the opposite of that would be something tiny. And I fell in love with Smart Cars when I was in the UK. I have to have one!
  
• To fly again without paying extra or being so uncomfortable.
  
• To do the activities that I used to do and keep up with my friends.
  
• And mostly, be able to go anywhere without people gasping or making rude comments about my size.

Good luck hope everything goes well and easy. Im 2 days out and the best advice i got from this forum is walk walk walk! It makes a big difference!

Wishing you all the best

Oh the waiting game is agony...LOL Been on the liquid diet since the 1st and today I had one final blood work and the clearence from the cardiologist and everything is still a GO but just waiting 'til next friday is horrible. I guess I made it this long, another week will go by quicky. And surprisingly I don't crave food at all. The protien shakes really help! Prayers and well wishes for all who has had the surgery. I love reading everybody's posts.
