I am ten days out from surgery(10/25) and I am down 21 pounds, I feel great. I can lay on my stomach when up and aware but a sudden move in that position still feels sore. I had laparoscopic surgery. Otherwise, I am back at work already (desk job), getting up to walk around often and feel like I am making great progress. Keep pushing through. You will be fine in no time!!! Deidre

Thanks everyone. Hearing so many positive thoughts really helps. I am on liquids now until surgery and it is "killing me". Any helful advice?

So I am ecstatic.....I am a new member to this site and just yesterday found out that my surgery has been approved so we are moving forward with my surgery date of 10/25. I have been overweight my entire life. I have lost and gained so many times I lost count. I had recently (within the past year) come up with some health issues that can be eradicated by losing a large amount of weight. I would lose 30-40 lbs, feel great and then life punches me and I end up gaining it back. I have never felt more determined or motivated regarding my weight before this time in my life. I want to see my daughter marry, see my granchildren, my son off to college. And spend a long life with my amazing husband. I want to be able to get up in the morning and go running without feeling like I am going to pass out. I want to bike ride with my son. So happy to be getting a second chance at living healthier.
