Wow!! Congrats Vamp!! I want a kindle!!! I'm updating my info now!!????????

Yay Vamp!!! Girl u look good!!! I have never even thought of a bikini...like its not even in my vocab so u have just made that something I will strive for!! Thanks for the inspiration!!

Wow thanks so much Michelle! I so appreciate it! I was talking to hubby about these weird feelings and he was like he would rather be healthy than be sad about cake. I understand but it's more about the feelings associated with just having it for my bday. I can't wait to find this and try it out! Thanks friend!!

Aww ur so sweet vamp! Thanks!! U r a doll too girlfriend!!

Hi all! Just wanted to post some before pics! So excited for the new journey a lot of us are on! Join in!!! Highest weight-302 Current weight-289

Wow Jen! That was a great story! I appreciate u for the encouraging words. Thank u for the compliments and yes I will be so happy that the weight is falling off instead of gorging food like I used to also. It is true everyone that has this surgery will be faced with food mourning and it's all in how u look at it. I am happy that there are options for my birthday cake(sugar free) and whats funny....that's the only time I eat cake all yr!! And I'm a crying baby over it! Ha! Thanks for all the comments guys, I truly feel better and the count down begins! ☺☺????????

Thanks y'all are so sweet. I feel like a big kid but I'm glad u understand. Gosh...food mourning that's exactly what this is called!! I was gonna look for a sugar free recipe for a cake so that really does make me feel better. Thanks. Oh yea a new wardrobe sounds soooo much better than a slice of good cake! Yay for us! I'm gonna kick this food mourning to the curb....

Hi!! My date is also July 11!! I'm so nervous about the preop diet!! My hub is having his surg tues and it is hard. Seriously like I am going to try my best to be strict and not cheat but I heard u have headaches the first couple of days. I'm truly excited and scared!! I don't want to fail! Not an option. Good luck and we must keep in touch!!

Just cried... Seriously.....I was looking on the Internet and ran across a pic of a birthday cake on a bariatric blog. She was like well no more cake on my birthday. I didn't think this would have a tear pop out of my eye...I am the only child and I have always had cake on my birthday..(I remember crying as an adult because I didn't have cake on the actual day) silly I kno. But when u r so used to something sometimes u have to let it go if it's not good for u. Anyone go thru this or have an alternative my bday is in sept so I guess I'm just thinking in advance...hey maybe I'll buy me a cute outfit for my bday in my newer size...that's a start....thanks guys....a little vent..

He is doing good I just think he might have some meltdowns and it is to be expected. He will be out of town for work for like 4 days then a few days later surgery. He has stocked up on fruit and soup but I kno it will be tough. I'm so not looking forward to my preop but it starts a day after his surg. It's weird how I feel almost like a little sad about this divorce with food I'm having and hubby is having. I'm sure this is normal. But I never thought that bein responsible for what I put in my mouth is so tough. I have done my rounds and there truly is nothing else that I wanna eat "one last time" before surgery. I think I've had it all. I've been off drinks for about a month now and I tasted a sprite over the weekend and it was so strong. So I kno I'm doing great when it comes to that. Subway, soup or lean quesine are my working gotta eat choices. And after surgery I will have my prepacked puréed foods. Wish me luck! I'm kinda overprotective and worry about my hubby and me too much. Thanks for being there to listen to me.

Yo good luck!! This we have been planning since last year so I kno how u feel! I will be posting letting everyone know how it's going. Thanks for ur support!

Hey babygirl! I'm glad ur doing better...hubby is sooo looking forward to liquid and veggies! Lol me too!! Haha time is really flying!

I purchased the ninja! Much better to me because u can get one for like 30$ at Walmart but u can make anything! Blend soups, smoothies, meat, etc! It is very powerful too! I highly recommend that.

I think it stats in system like 2 wks-1 month so be careful

I'm cutiepiemel friend me...

Naaa not me. Used to help my hubby smoke a cigar every now and then but he quit last yr

Urine! I think or blood. Girl I almost passé out from all the blood they took

That's great on ur weight loss Theresa I hope ur doing better now.

Oh yea a ton of urine too. They do nicotine testing

Goodie it's over. Well all they did was ask every medical question they could then took a lot of blood, then chest X-ray, EKG. That is all. Only took an hr n half. My surg is July 11. Now butterflies begin...

Girl stay strong I kno I'm gonna be telling u bout how much I'm not liking liquid! Lol I think the unlimited veggies r what I'm gonna live on.

Good morning! I have my preop this am and I could hardly sleep last night. Surg scheduled for july 11 and I guess I feel time is rolling. Wish me luck today! I think I'm a little worried they will tell me my iron is low. I have been taking my pills but I hope everything will be fine.

Hi ladies! I'm from Memphis, tn.

Wow Theresa that is exactly how I feel. Like I want to protect him from any pain or any problems. But with prayer we all will be ok. Just a little challenge. Good luck to you both and please keep in touch with me. Have you had complications at all and how r u doing so far?

Hi all! I love this site and all of you folks on here! Our surgery date is coming fast!! I'm excited nervous hey y'all know the fellings! Hubby surgery is June 26. I'm July 11. We are doing our journey together ). We have been married for 12 years and we r still called newlyweds sometimes! Lol I love my husband so much and I'm so happy we will have each other thru this journey. I worry for him a little because he doesn't cook but he is ready to learn. We will have some cooking classes tomoro and the next day (he doesn't know yet) but I wanna make some puréed recipes and try them out. We r purée for 6wks after surg! Are there any other couples out there that did this together and also if u were not a cook how did u make it thru we're there any help u can offer with me trying to teach hubby how to cook. Thanks rny buddies!
