Less than a week!

So excited! I'm less than a week out from my surgery and I'm really excited. Today's my last day at work since I'm going on a mini vacation before hand with my mom. Who else is having surgery next week? Let me know! We can be surgery buddies and keep in touch with each other!

Ahh... Last day at work. I remember it well. But then I had to go back. ????

I also remember the excitement you're feeling now. It's a lot to take in, I know, but you'll be fine!

Congrats!

My surgery is a week from today as well. I'm just starting the preop diet and today hasn't been too bad. I've been doing Protein Shakes every 3 hours and supplementing with Water in between. Hopefully the rest of the 6 days wont be as bad. Good luck to you!!!

My surgery is on Monday 10/26 at 7:00 am. I'm nervous, excited and just generally feel like I've lost my mind but yesterday I decided I didn't care that I'm crazy right now. I guess I just see it as part of this process because I've heard a lot of people say they are really stressed and somewhat nuts by this time. I'm just hanging in there. Definitely looking forward to Monday!

Yes, I'm having surgery on the 27th...I'm nervous, excited, and every other type of emotion you can think of!

I'm so excited for everyone!! I wish you all the very best of luck and hope that everything goes well. Please keep in touch with your updates and victories! Both on and off the scale

Hi! My surgery is on Thursday the 29th! And just like you all I'm on an emotionally roller coaster! But can't wait!

Been on full liquid diet since Wednesday and I can honestly say it has not been that bad. The Protein shakes really help.

Good luck to you all!!

@Dar200 Hey, mine is on the 26th also, at 7:30 am. Good luck to both of us! I originally had surgery on Sep 9 for bypass but he found that the fatty mesentery was not flexible enough to let the intestine reach the stomach easily, so he closed me up and put me on 4 weeks of liquid diet to try and lose 20 lbs. Then, the office told me Oct 21 but actually scheduled it for Oct 14, and neither of us could change to the other's plans. So unless something goes wrong between today and 2 days from now, it's Monday. Five weeks on the liquid diet and I only lost 14 lbs, not the 20 I'd hoped. If it's still impossible he'll do the sleeve instead, but at the time of the first surgery I was adamant about bypass and didn't give permission for the VSG. Neither of us expected there to be trouble for the bypass, as my BMI was only 40!

14 pounds is still a lot to lose in that amount of time. I hope everything goes very smoothly for you this time around. Glad to hear your surgeon has an option other than stitching you up with no surgery!
