My surgery is in 2 weeks but heard it will get better after the initial shock on your body ..you will probably not be able to eat everything at the beginning which will help but after a year you will need willpower to get to the weight u want to weigh. Get the book the Beck Diet Solution she teaches you how to get the will power u need .the author is Judith Beck

My surgery 2 weeks away from TODAY! I am scared too... I think it's normal. All change is scary! Best of luck to you!

The good thing is you have all of us to turn to at every step of the way! Stay true to your course and convictions. Never forget where you came from, but now it's time to focus on where you want to be!

Congrats!

Good luck, I was terrified even though I researched the heck out of this. Woke up and was up and walking in less than 20 minutes, left my mom in the dust going around the halls. And then there was a new round of trepidation about drinking for the first time. It all worked perfectly. I can't tell you "you shouldn't be scared" we all are, but there are pioneers who have been through this before, and we can share our experience and give you some good hints. Congrats on beginning a new life.

My surgery is on July 16th only two days.... I'm scared also of the unknown to me... But I'm also more scared of the unknown problems from my weight.... My weight has hit its highest ever for me... It's just a matter of time before other health issue starts to affect me... So I'm moving forward with my choice I've made... Don't listen to what other would do... That's your body.... I don't even ask anyone for their option.... My body , my life... I want to enjoy it healthy... Good luck to you and YOUR journey ????

Let me just say that I am four weeks post op and I have had 663 calories today and I'm not hungry and I am not craving anything. It takes some adjustments to figure out how to fit the new way of eating into your lifestyle. And my advise, if you want any, be patient with the liquid diet phases. It will get boring but it is temporary. Don't get in a hurry and let yourself heal. And above all else, follow your doctors advise. You can do this. You will do amazing.
