Hi, I'm sorry I can't offer you any advice, as I'm not quite at that point yet, but I did want to say welcome to the boards. It's a great place for information. I hope your surgery went smoothly and you are recovering well. I know it's easier said than done, and I'll probably be in your...

Congratulations on getting your surgery date...and on the pre-op weightloss. Good luck to you!

Hi Kinny, I'm so glad to see someone here with little ones. I have a 2 yr old also, as well as a 7 year old. I have been having the same concerns. I will have some extra help as well for the first couple of weeks so I'm hoping it won't be so bad. And at my pre-op meeting, they said we'd...

Hi Alan, How have things been since surgery? I hope you are doing well. Here I am thinking my hour long trip to my surgeon's office and hospital is a long trip. You were a real trooper to go through so much(and go so far) for your surgery.

Hello Kitty, Congratulations! That must be a wonderful feeling. Thank you for posting this, it is very encouraging. Keep up the amazing work. eloraeternal, I'm sorry to hear you're having some struggles. I hope you can overcome them and push through.

I have been wondering the same thing. I had my pre-op yesterday and all the talk about sipping 1 ounce of fluid over a 15 minute period really makes you wonder how you'll quench your thirst. I guess the idea is to just sip all day long and stay hydrated enough so that extreme thirst never...

Congratulations!!! I'll be right there with you on the 10th. I worry too, it's because we go through so much and we want it so badly that it's hard to believe that it's actually going to happen so we're terrified that something will interfere and ruin what we've worked so hard for. But, I...

Hey Frank, we're practically neighbors, I live outside of Raleigh.:) I think if you're going to enjoy the scuba diving, definitely go for the underwater camera next. You could get some amazing shots. When dieting before, I also used food to reward myself, and as we know, that will not be an...

Good for you! Hope you get your date soon :)

Congratulations!!!

Hi Dellsweig, I'm fairly new too and my date is June 10th! So we'll be pretty close. Good luck with your pre op diet and surgery. I know for me, the reality is starting to set in and the emotions are coming full force. The nervousness, the excitement. Well, good luck and keep us posted on...

Hey Sherlee, congratulations on your progress thus far. You are doing great. I'm new to the boards also, I came back for the same most people do, to get and offer advice encouragement and friendship. You have made amazing progress so far so keep up the good work. Hope to see you around on...

Hi everyone, I tried to post a few days ago, but it didn't show up for me so hopefully this one will make it through. Congrats to you all on your surgeries and progress so far, and also to those of us who have upcoming surgeries. I was so excited to see a few posters from NC. I'm also in NC...

Hey everyone, I hope you're all doing well. I'm back on the boards after being away for a year. I was scheduled for surgery last August and my surgery was cancelled 2 days before, due to another health issue that had started to show itself just a few weeks before my surgery. Needless to...

Hi, I'm in NC also. I haven't been on the site in about a year, so I consider myself new too. Congratulations on your surgery. From looking at your stats it looks like you've been losing well. How was your surgery and recovery experience? Are you "bouncing back" pretty well? My surgery...
