5 days until surgery
Feb 29, 2012
I'm getting pretty close and feeling pretty excited. I started my 14-day pre-op liver-shrinking diet and I already lost a bunch of weight. Amazing how much weight you can lose right away. It hasn't been terrible, and has me wondering why I couldn't do this before. I'm feeling much more confident now going into surgery, having some positive will-power experience on my way in. I shared my upcoming surgery with 4 people at work, and a couple of friends. I've been really pleasantly surprised how positive and supportive everyone has been. Everyone seems to know a couple of people who had WLS. Everyone on this site is so inspiring and I am looking forward to hopefully inspiring other people as well. I'm finding myself browsing through people's profiles more and more as I get closer to surgery.
