I'm all for checking in weekly! My husband finally got to know my weight last Thursday at my preop surgery apt. He is my only cheer leader as he is the only one who knows about my Surgery on Wed...

April 9th here! I'm sooo excited!

Hello All, ???? My surgery is April 9th @ 7:30 AM. My Dr. only requires a one week pre-op diet which I started today! It is so great to have other sleevers to take on this life changing journey with to support each other and share milestones! We have got this - GO US! Good luck and goodnight to everyone!

Today I had my pre-surgery physical, labs, & EKG with my primary Dr. For the first time in my adult life, I gladly stepped right up on the scale without taking my shoes off & not feeling crunchy about my weight! I simply did not care because I woke up today with this great sense of boldness! I told the nurse, whom knows I ALWAYS take off my shoes, that I am on my way to "FORMER FATTY LAND" and that this time next year she just might not recognize me! HA - and I meant every word of it!!! I realized I have never been so confident with going on a diet in my life. In my world it is a diet... It is ok if other people call it whatever! However, it will be a life changing diet for me! And a diet is a diet is a diet! I am meeting my surgeon on Thurs. for my pre op consult. Reality is setting in surprisingly well as I feel stronger & more brave with each passing day! Today I even bought a few new life tools; food scale, measuring cups, food processor, teeny tiny silver ware to take small bites, small food storage containers, my very last sized 2X nighty (it was on clearance), and lastly a KEURIG! Clearly I will no longer sit my morbidly obese butt in local coffee drive throughs ordering mocha caramel iced coffee w/ whip! Today I am quite all right with that reality! Ask me again in a few weeks, I'm aware my emotions & feelings will be all over the board in the early days... Anyway - thank you for being my outlet, aside f/ the medical staff, not a soul knows I am getting my VSG on April 9th... Good Luck everyone & please keep this thread active - I have become a "Bariatric Pal" creeper! The success stories are so motivating. Good night all, I have some weightloss creeping to do!

April 9th VSG for me too!! I'm so excited & a little nervous all in one!
