OK! Heading into surgery can be awesome and exciting (and a little anxiety-provoking, too). Be sure to take good care of you.

Thanks' everyone! The two-week diet is the most confusing right now, but I guess that's why they have a nut meeting with me next week. Yes, I am excited and scared kind of like going on a roller coaster ride! I am so relieved to know you are all here for me. I am sure there will be a thousand questions to be answered.0

Yay! So happy for you.! They will explain everything to you at your meeting.! It will go quickly for you! Good luck.!0

I was so excited when I got my surgery date....felt like a huge weight lifted off my shoulders!! Today is the "official" start to my pre-op, but I started it Monday....it hasn't been to bad till I get home from work and now I just want everything I shouldn't have....but it will get better.....I just wish it was the 9th so then I will be a day post-op

The day I got my surgery date was one of the most exciting ever. Now I'm 2 months out and things are flying by. Best of luck, you're going to do great!0

You are right! I was so excited, I was texting and calling everyone to let them know. They did not understand my excitement. I am glad someone here does.Sammers48220 wrote: »The day I got my surgery date was one of the most exciting ever. Now I'm 2 months out and things are flying by.

Best of luck. I had real troubles with gas issues post op, make sure you walk around the hallways often to help with gas being trapped from laparoscopy. You will do just great. Congrats. Everyone here is wonderful and a wealth of knowledge.0

Me too! When they say walk they aren't kidding it was the best piece of advice I got! You will do great ❤️0 -
You're going to do great! Congratulations on getting your date!

The whole journey is full of mixed emotions, but I am willing to bet that in a month's time you will be feeling great and not regret surgery one bit!0

tomorrow is my last day on real food for awhile. I have a two- week very low-calorie diet that I had purchased special diet food for. Then two days of a liquid diet before surgery. Then one month of liquid and one month of puree food.0

You've got this, TN_Tinker! It will be quite the rollercoaster, but in no time it will be a distant memory!0
-
you got this Tinker! It becomes "normal" so quickly - at least for me it did. Best wishes!0
-
you'll do great. listen to the the advice your doctors and NUT give you and if you have questions ask .0
-
Thanks guys, today is day one and I have my food pretty much planned out. I am ready to do this thing!0

So excited for you! I'm also got my surgery date coming up may 4th so I'm right behind you0

Good luck to all the newbies. You will be amazed at the difference. Follow the Dr. orders and you will all do great. Today is my surgiversary 1 year ago I was where you all are. I have lost 106 pounds and so close to my goal.

I exercise on a daily basis, I started going to gym at 4 months out, and have found nothing but loving support from all my gym rat friends. I am so much stronger and healthier. If you need encouragement these boards are great, if you have questions this is the place to go, but first please contact Dr. if you need professional assistance.
When I first had my surgery I thought 'what the heck did I just do' now I think 'why didn't I do this sooner'.
Best to all.0
