My surgery day is May 28th

That's so wonderful to hear! You deserve this feeling for doing this huge step for yourself, can you imagine the feeling when you do lose the 85lbs?! You go girl!

Good luck Jenelle

I've heard of people plateauing, no worries they say that it'll start back up, maybe up your protein and water?

Omg I finally found people in the same boat as me! Ok well I'm 4'11 and 173, my surgery date is set for May 28th

Wow this is great to know, also I didn't know you can add jello powder to yogurt to flavour it, I'll have to try that

Oh you'll be eating the things you love in no time, we just won't be able to eat much of it lol, 30 lbs is awesome! You must really feel a difference eh?

Wow so many of you today! All the best wishes on a healthy, speedy and easy recovery!

The best of luck to you!

Congrats! I love hearing when someone feels the way you do post op! I hope and pray I have the same easy recovery

Welcome all new comers ! You are going to find so much support on here as I have I'm sure! My big day is May 28th!

That's wonderful! My thoughts and prayers are with you, i wish you and amazing recovery

You look wonderful!! You must feel so good! Best of luck with the insurance hun!

That's wonderful! How are you doing?

I'm wishing you all the best Hun, if I listened to the family and friends I thought would support me then I wouldn't be this far, my day is May 28th and I'm doing it no matter what. You do what's right for you Hun, I know someone who's family was totally against the surgery so he didn't say another word, now 2 years after they're so happy and proud of him, he is healthy athletic and happy now. His advise to me was not to talk about it, just do it I won't regret it. It hurt me when my daughter got angry at me when I told her, she even said this surgery was me giving up on trying anything else and taking a risk, they don't understand. This is why I love being on bariatric pal, so many similar stories and we're all here for the same reasons and so much support. I wish you the best in your decision you make for you and no regrets no matter which way you choose

All the best Erin! You are going to be great, sending you thoughts and prayers and looking forward to your first post op message!

Wow Jenelle, 11 days already? I can't wait to be there lol 37 more days for me omg!

Wow that's amazing! You must feel so proud and empowered! This is the stuff I can't wait to have the energy for!!

Thank you so much! Will they send an assortment of flavours?

Thank you so much, I will check it out at my local health food store, I'm in Canada

I'm from Brampton too! There isn't a 4 year wait though, my first appt at Toronto Western was June 5th 2013 and my surgery day is May 28th. I have to say the wait was worth it, in those few months they prepare and educate you for the surgery and life after. The time went quickly and I feel prepared now

Hi there, where do you find the nectar protein drink? Is it powder or pre made?

Wow already 9 days Janelle! Good for you and keep up the amazing work!

I'm from Bramtopn and I finished with all my appts at Toronto Western and have been approved for surgery at Toronto East General for May 28th

Hi all, I'm also from Brampton! My date is set for May 28th at Toronto East general hospital
