I never know what to put for height. I was always 5'7", but apparently I began shrinking the past few years.

How exciting to have some more responses to my post! I need all the support I can get! I am currently in my preop diet stage. Do you all have to do a preop diet? I am on day 11 of my 4 week diet, so far I have lost 11.7 lbs.... but it has been hard!

Marblevsg - Did you get a date yet?

mommidoodle - March 2nd is not far away at all - very exciting!!! are you getting nervous?

Joolie3 - I am new to all this too really, when will you find our your date? Waiting is the hardest!

Graciesmom04 - thanks for the encouragement! What has been hardest so far?

Garifab_vsg - I have been shrinking too in height... I didn't think that happened until we were like 80... BOO! LOL

If any of you are on Facebook, I have found several really great pages... let me know if you are interested and I can hook you up!

I am cheering you all on - pre and post op! We can do this!!!!

Newtree, I only had a week of preop diet. It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. I did lose some weight during that time, but not a ton. You can do this. I could have all the pickles/broccoli & cauliflower I wanted. So after my meals of what I had to eat, I'd have a bowl of those things

My surgery is on March 2, I'm on day 4 of pre op and I feel like I'm dying. No food, no smoking, it's awful. I told my fiancé "This Protein shake tastes like I'd rather be fat." ????

Good luck to everyone! God knows I could use some encouraging right about now!
