I confess * I can't wait to be the skinny sister * I bought a cheeseburger just to have the meat and chew when it was nowhere near that phase in my plan * I fear that what I have lost so far is all I am going to lose (20#) * I am still addicted to food Network and Cooking Channel * There is a part of me that is terrified to be thin

Surgery was this morning. I am sitting up in my chair. Other than tired I feel great!

Tomorrow is the BIG day. I will post as soon as I can. Many blessings to all on this journey.

Clear liquids today and surgery tomorrow. I am so excited that I can't sleep!!

Ditto. My surgery is on Wednesday!

I am starting my preop today too. Good luck!

I am curious how long most people have been off work for their surgery. I am at a new job and don't have much time I can take Thanks in advance!

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! I am scheduled for 1-16-13 for my sleeve and the last 24 hours have been HORRIBLE. I picked up the phone twice to call and cancel the surgery. Reading your post and the positive posts of others made me really look at why I am doing this. I am so glad I found this thread and I am actually looking forward to my surgery, whatever comes of it because your right...If I don't do it, I won't last long on this earth. Many blessings!

Good Luck!

You can add me too. Aerie74

Mine is the 16th too. We had our "food funeral" last night too, Tomorrow my house is getting a makeover so that it is ready when I get home. I have already started packing for the hospital and gathering things for after surgery such as loose clothing and packing away clothes I will not ever wear again. Good Luck and stay in touch!

I love all the support and ideas in here. My surgery isn't until 1-16 but I am starting to get ready!

My surgery is 1-16 with Dr. K. I start liquids on 1-9. Starting to get my house and stuff ready to minimize temptations when I get home. My husband is being sleeved on 2-6 with Dr K too.

Thanks for posting all the responses. I am going through exactly the same thing. Nerves sometimes are getting the better of me but I think worst case scenario... I either die forkful by forkful or change. Some outcomes are scary but for me it is in God's hands and so far this is where he has lead me.

I am from Wisconsin too. My husband and I are both being sleeved in GB with Dr. Kemmerling. Mine is January and his is February.
