Mine is 7/6/21. Can’t wait!

July 7th just found out today. Sooo excited

My surgery is today at 7:30 I’m nervous….

Last minute nerves? What are your reasons for surgery? Mine were two fold. I told myself in the beginning it was for health reasons, but truth be told tooking good (vanity) was definitely a reason too. Even if it was only about looking good, I think that's a valid too, how we feel about ourselves is a big part of mental health.

Same here. Surgery on May 19th and lost only 14/15 lbs (depending on the day) so far since surgery. THAT'S IT! I chalk it up to this famous stall everyone seems to talk about. Sucks but I'm hoping it will move soon. Plus TOM is due to visit next week (he came the day before surgery for me....lol) so I'm thinking that is affecting it too. Trying to keep all that in mind before I panic. LOL

Yes. Focus on the non-scale victories. Do your measurements weekly and you will still see progress even with no movement on the scale. I am in a week three plateau and just won’t let it get me down.

Scheduled today for July 27th! Nervous now but am determined to go through with it for a healthier me

Hello everyone! Had my surgery this morning, was back in my room 11.50, now 22.15 (UK time). First few hours were very sore but I followed advice and started taking teeny tiny sips, and got up with the Healthcare assistant when I could, to move some of the pressure. Just a little wander round the room! The staff so far have been great. This evening I've got a peppermint tea which I'm just periodically sipping (so small a sip I'm basically letting it wet my lips). Thank god for all the people on here recommending to bring lipbalm, headphones and your own pilow! I've been listening to Glenda Cedarleaf sleep meditations, and feel quite chill despite the chaos going on outside my door. Only pain now is in my back and shoulders.

Hello Everyone! My surgery is scheduled for July 7th! Getting nervous and excited :)

I shop on thredUP! I love it. Their pictures are bad and the descriptions are worse but I’ve gotten some super deals. My advice 1. There’s a promo code going on all the time, so don’t buy without one. 2. There are great and terrible deals- ignore the retail prices listed. Set what you’re willing to pay per item. 3. Shop by brand. I buy a lot of Ann Taylor, loft, limited, ModCloth, stitchfix brands, etc there. I know how these brands fit me. 4. Overall it’s a lot of fun- not every item is a winner but enough are that I have made multiple hauls!
