Hello im new here and im having my first eval on may first and im so worried but yet excited. Im 29 years old i will turn 30 in july and i have been married for 2 years. I am 5'2 and i weigh 477pounds im so tired of being this way and my doctors have all said surgery is my only option. So i am starting the process and im scared worried and excited.

They are awesome. So tasty and filling an dirt cheap. I have 3 big boxes of the name brand ones I haven't touched since I bought these. Surgery is on Monday so I'm on all Clear Liquids, sf Jello and Popsicles til then. Thanks again

No problem! They are delicious!

I just wanted to say thank you to whomever made the suggestion about the Popsicles at Walmart. They are amazing and $2 for a bag of 12.

I hate sleeping on my back, y'all. I cannot wait until I can sleep on my side again. Every time I try, it is just so darn uncomfortable.

Krystal my husband was not too excited about me wanting to have surgery either! He was scared and worried I think. Your husband may just be going through the same thing. My husband once he realized that I was going through with this, a week before my surgery started working out and started his own diet. You are going to be fine! We are here for you always! Just think of who you may inspire along your journey that may just start a diet or even have the surgery themselves. I will be thinking and praying for you! And best of luck! ????

Finally alert enough to update you all. Surgery yesterday went really well. Little pain but not too bad. Deep breath and everything straighten out a lot! Get ready for the GI study. Fingers crossed that all is well with that! Still a little drowsy!

So I've been finding I have a bit of bad pain on the right side of my belly and when I get up to walk I have to "hold" my stomach. Soooo I bought some control top panties with extra support (seriously these things come up to my boobs lol) and now the pain is almost gone!! I can now walk around and do things with minimal pain. Woohoo for control top panties lol
surgery date - Apr 5th/2013 9am

Had a bad night last night! I just broke down as the rest of the family was eating something different that smelled delicious! I went to get my dinner and started crying. My dad who has had the surgery asked me what was wrong... I said "I am just tired of eating the same things everyday. It's just so boring!" He has also had the surgery done and reassured me that the fist 3 weeks are the hardest and once I start adding more foods I won't even notice. I am so glad I have my parents to help guide me in this.

I'm out of surgery and been resting. The morphine pump is doing a fantastic job of keeepingn me out of pain. But t also makes t hard to focus. I'll do a more thorough update when I get off the morphine. Thank you fr all your thoughts and prayers everyone!!! Xoxox

Best of luck to the large group tomorrow! You will do great! Just remember to sip that Water and walk as much as you can! It really does help!

Home from the hospital! I feel so much better just being here in a comfy chair! Still super sore and swollen but that is to be expected. Feeling a lot better with the walking!! Especially when the took out the drain tube... That made me feel like a brand new person once gone. Ended up with 145 laps around my bariatric center floor, which come to fine out was 5.36 miles!!! I couldn't believe it. I was just doing it cause it was more comfortable for me. And I couldn't sit in the room anymore!

Yeah I am on soft foods which is stage 3. They started feeding me in the hospital this morning! Started with scrambled eggs and yogurt. Then lunch was egg salad and mashed potatoes and a little gravy to make sure they were moist. And at home I got some butter bean and couscous. No more then a medicine cup of each. But I didn't finish most of it. I guess each doc has their success in different ways. So they have to do what they know works for there patience.
