Under the Knife in 1 Week!!
Well...my this time next week I should be in the recovery room. I can't believe I'm finally this close to surgery! The doubts about this being the right thing to do are floating around as are nerves of excitement and fear.

I'm so excited for you! You will be so relieved when the surgery is done and you are on your way to the loser's bench.
How are you doing with the liquid diet? I hope it's getting better, or is at least tolerable now.
5' 5" tall. VSG on August 4, 2015/ Starting weight 239.9/ Surgery weight 210.9/ Current weight 137.4/ Goal weight 140/ No longer overweight, now a NORMAL weight. Now that I'm at goal, it's time to move on to maintenance!!!!!!!!
Thanks! I'm still struggling with the liquid diet but I'm on the downhill stretch now which is nice to think about. I have a very busy weekend ahead so before I know it, it will be Monday and only 4 days until surgery!

I am only on day 4 of the pre op diet. (shakes and some low glycemic veggies) and my emotions are all over the board! Its so hard not to feel resentful of other people living a "normal" life. I feel like throwing in the towel right now BUT I know this too shall pass. Maybe not for a couple months but it will. :( Surgery is on Oct 13th, so I still have 12 days to go. :(
OMG I am SO with you! I lost it yesterday but received a TON of support here. Lot's of good advice offered on the Poor Me! post.
Stick with it...I hope it goes by quickly for you.
