food is such a big part of our lives and to not have it anymore is very hard. I had to stop eating at 5 today....I ate a Baby Ruth at 4. LOL. Had to get my final sugar in! When I REALLY want something, I get on here and read people's forums and things. Keeps me motivated.

Mine is tomorrow!!!! I'm going crazy! LOL....good luck!

I've been a little edgy today about that. My surg is tomorrow and Im slightly panicking that I'm not going to be able to eat. I didn't have a two week pre op diet. My no eating started at 5 this evening and I just keep thinking of all the foods I can't have...it makes me sad. I'm determined to do it though. Guess we gotta think of the benefits when it's all over!

OMG....I'm glad I read this! I haven't heard that one yet and my surg is in two days. That would've scared me to death! Thanks for this info guys!

Well, I just took my "before" pics (my surg is in 5 days). I always avoid cameras and I am truly shocked to see myself now. I was unaware of my true size. Come on 5 days.....

That's aweful for your family to treat you like that! So glad you've proven them wrong for 17 years! It's things like that that causes some of our problems. You're doing something to take care of yourself though. Imagine what it'll be like when you do visit again! Unfortunately, my mom does that too. When I was a teen, she would tell me that no boys would ever like me cuz of the way I looked. She still makes comments but is more subtle about it. :-/ Keep doing what you're doing. Maybe when you've lost (not sure where you're at in this process) and feel better about yourself, you can tell them how they've hurt you...might make you feel better.

LOL. My surgery is Tuesday. I have spent the last week eating a meal from each of my fave places. I'm sure gonna miss it! Pick something good for your last "meal". And good luck Wednesday!

July 30th! I'll be the last of the month...maybe.

I wasn't told to lose anything. I think I've gained a couple lbs cuz of my farewell-to-food tour and NOT being told any different. Just low-fat this last week. I hope I'm good enough to go in 3 days!

I'm just curious...I've seen quite a few on here that had a date and then it got rescheduled. What reasons did they have? I'm so excited: I'd hate to think it gets postponed.

Are you serious!? LOL. OMG. Thats horrible.
