Hi All
My RNY is scheduled for 10/24. I'm on day 8 of my pre-op diet now. I'm filled with nervous anticipation as the date gets closer. When I started my 6mth program I was 380 today I am 357. All I can say is I'll be glad when im no longer part of the 300+ club (would love to join the -200 club). I look forward to sharing the WLS journey with all of you.

congrats on the weight loss and welcome!

 HI All,
I will have sleve on 11/14!
Dawn 

I am excited and scared. I am 1 wee****il my surgery. Well this past Tuesday, I cut my hair and donated my locks to lock of love. I will post a picture later. Every one loves it, it is with layers. I am going to California, so I thought it would be a good Summer/Winter cut, its to my chin.  I love my hair stylist she is excited for my change with me....

i did a radical cut a few weeks ago too, you can see my pic is straight and a sharp aline in the back.  before it was long and wildly curly!  i love it!! i call it the pre makeover!  send some pics for us!

Hello all you fall beauties! I am scheduled for a band on 11/9. My current weight is 281, I have no idea what my highest weight was. I am only 5'3" so my goal weight is 135.

My date got pushed back several times (insurance, Dr on vacation, etc) and now that I want it pushed back, they won't.  My daughter is getting married 11/11. I have 2 days to get over myself and be the mother of the bride! Wish me luck.  I told her I would crawl into the chapel with my butt hanging out of my hospital gown if I had to.

I actually started the pre-op diet for one week so I know what it is like and I did ok.  Cheated a little but now that I know what to expect, I think I'll be good. I start the pre-op on Saturday.

Anyone else indulged or indulging in favorite things like someone on death row? I think of some food I enjoy (doesn't even have to be a bad food) and I want to have it 'one last time'. Driving me nuts!

HA!  i did it over a period of time, I ate healthy for the most part and "indulged in something i knew would not be the same every weekish,  stil managed to lose the weight and when i ate pizza hut pizza or chipotle, i said, well this is the last time i will eat it and absolved myself of guilt, felt great, didnt over do it and as the weight came off the cravings got better.  THAT being said, I have a 1 month pre-op liquid diet.  the cravings roared after about a week and a half, worse than ever, i think knowing it was almost time made my brain panic and want to eat!!  the last week had been alot better and i feel like my head hunger is subsiding because i feel fully committed to the surgery now,  i am glad that i have had this month to deal with the "deprivation" feeling and hopefully it will make after surgery go easier!

and OH NO SO SORRY ABOUT YOUR DAUGHTERS WEDDING!  i hope you are feeling ok, try to enjoy and not overdo it, make sure to go prepared with your diet so no stress and no fainting!!

Hi guys, I've been a lurker and haven't posted yet.  My name is Mandy and I am 31 years old.  I have been married for 12 years and have two sweet little boys, 8 and 3 y/o.  I have been overweight most of my life.  I am excited to have single incision lap RNY on 11/7/11.  I started my pre-surgery full liquid diet yesterday.  It's going okay, except for the headache I've head since yesterday.  I can't wait to learn more about you guys and get support for this wonderful journery.

did adding some more fluids help?  so glad you decided to join in!!  ive been married for 12 also witha  6 yr old boy, also been overweight all my life.
