Congratulations on your up coming surgery. Six days will be here before you know it. Follow the dr's orders, sip, sip, sip & walk, walk, walk and don't forget your protein. I am only 3 weeks out today so I am not a pro at this WLS but remember you have wanted this for so long. Just do as you are supposed to and know that you are in God's hands now. Good luck hun and remember we are here for you, saving your seat on the losers bench!

Jenna - what you are feeling is very natural - you are scared and excited at the same time - we were all like this! It will be here and you can then get on with the business of getting healthy. My words of wisdom would be to make sure you are prepared for the hospital visit and for life at home for the first week or so. You should have already got some protein in ready fro after surgery and your immediate vitamins and have plenty of water..... Follow your doctor's orders and make sure you get in all your nutrition needs - that along with your protein will have an effect on your hair - so don't skip the nutrition parts. You could also practise no more drinking with meals to help you get into that way. There are many other helpful hints but I don't know what you know already so don't want to inundate you. If there are any specific things you don't know or are curious about please feel free to ask! Wishing you well Jackie
