Good Luck! I was on the fast track too went to my first dr appointment in Sept and the procedure done in Nov. It moves very fast.

Hello I too was sooo nervous I would break out in tears everytime I ate something a few weeks before the op. Everything I ate I felt like I was saying good bye how sad is that? My hubby asked me what are you scared of I was scared of change he told me choose health I say the same to you. Choose health food can never be a freind. Its okay to mourn but honestly it is not going anywhere. My hubby has been at the same weight since highschool he doesnt gain weight at all! I feel alone at times too reach out anytime. Your almost there! I was sleeved NOV 15th I almost changed my mind on that day but...so glad I didnt good luck!

No, you are not nuts. Don't discount your feelings and you are indeed breaking up with food, but trust me, you will learn that food is NOT your best friend. It is your crutch maybe, but certainly not your best friend. It's what got you to this point, it's what got all of us to this point.. friends don't do that. It's like the old friends don't let friends drive drunk.. LOL (well, I tried! ) Let your husband be supportive as he knows how, you will find if he's supportive now, he will probably be even more so afterwards. Mourn food, it's ok to do that and start a new kind of relationship with it... Accept his support the way he is offering it, it sounds like he's trying. He probably doesn't know exactly what you are going through, how could he? He's not in your shoes..My husband has always been thin too and never struggled with is weight... BUT he saw me struggle, he saw me cry, he saw me hate myself and go up and down for years.... he shared that pain with me and he was there to hold me and remind me that he loves me for me too during those times. That was support!
I was sleved 11/15 and I was very scared, but I'm doing great and I am glad I did it. Hopefully you will too. Feel free to reach out anytime for support, there is a lot of support here that was given to me and I'm happy to give it to you as well!
Hang in there!! You are not alone, we are all in this together and understand!

Great Post pray you will have a smooth surgery! I know God was with me on that day and the days that have followed! By no means is this the easy way out still work but it is a tool! Good luck!

Hi Joe
I am on day 12 post op. I had not thought about it but..I can feel my stomach is smaller too very strange. Also my sense of smell and taste is also much keener. The only thing that made me sick was some liquid vitimin I had purchased when I smelled it I already knew ahhhh no WAY!!
Did you stop Caffine before the op? I stopped 3 weeks before the surgery and was shocked at the intense headaches I had! Hope you feel better soon my problem was my pack it was killing me. Felt strange had no pain in my stomach but the gas in my back was bad! Almost gone now.
I am 2 days from soft foods on the countdown so sick of the protein drinks
Good luck Joe We can do it
