  1. So I have a surgery date set. I'm nervous. I know that's normal. But I wonder if anyone else is having the same issues I am having when I look in the mirror. I can't picture myself thinner. I've been heavy so long that I'm used to seeing myself this way. I can't mentally picture myself thinner, in better clothes. I'm afraid of failing before I even start this surgery because I feel if I can't picture myself thinner then it can't happen. I think I'm driving myself crazy
  2. Getting closer and getting nervous!! Trying to figure out what one food to indulge on before my pre op diet
  3. Omg, so many emotions running thru me right now! I don't have a definite date yet but I'm hoping for a date in sept. Dr's office originally told me that united health care had a 6 month req office visit, I told them not with my plan! They didn't believe me so they submitted just to see. Came back approved with only 1 dr visit. Got all my tests, documents done. Now the nerves start to rattle. I'm seriously afraid of dying on the table. Is this the right decision for a woman with two small children
  4. Wow!! I'm definitely gonna need food advice after my sleeve! Great job!
  5. I'm starting to look around for a good cookbook to help me make high protein decisions for when I'm ready. Anyone have any recommendations?
  6. I've seen some of you on only liquids pre op. My nutritionist gave me low cal, low carb high protein diet? Interesting.
  7. Another double edge sword! Lol! I'm glad that there are so many of you that feel like I do but yet disheartened that we all feel this way. So frustrating!
  8. I would make that decision after losing the skin...see how you look and feel then? By the way, Great job!!
