I'm having my surg 4 weeks from tomorrow , and since it's Mother's Day I can't help but think what my next Mothers day will be like , what I will be like. So excited to start this new chapter in my life! I was invited to go kayaking this morning with some fellow moms/ friends, I declined only because I'm scared I will be too big for the kayak. Next year I hope to go!

My hubby bought bagels this morning for Mother's Day, and just said to me next Mother's Day you won't finish a whole bagel, that made it sound so real, tomorrow I start my pre op diet, 4 weeks til my wls! I'm so ready for this!

I'm also scheduled for June 9. I started exercise 3 weeks ago, and cutting back on food intake, I start the liquid diet 14 days before surgery, anyone recommend a good protein shake?

@@JeanZ_RN thank you so much for all the info! I can not wait to start my journey , how long ago was your surgery?

Good to know thanks , and best of luck on your journey --how are you doing?

@@BigGirlPanties that is favorite quote ever! I'm so excited to start this journey, love this app too! Very inspiring

Thanks for all your input. I understand that you have to make right choices, I understand that I will probably still crave the wrong things, it just amazes me how so many of us have struggled, and there is finally a way to overcome this fight! I guess I've failed so many times that I can not accept that this time I will succeed ! I hope so! Good luck to all of us!

I enjoy reading everyone's posts, this may seem like a stupid question, but how do all of you keep up the will power to stay in track? I'm pre op, I want this more than anything , but I've failed every diet ! How does the surgery change your will power to stick with it? Or is it that you don't really have a choice?lol I hope I can do this, I start the liquid diet in 2 weeks!

Great to know! Thanks, I felt very positive coming out of his office, good luck to you!

Oh great! How was it? I liked him , we met a few weeks ago, he was very patient and knowledgable , I have done a lot of research and I trust him, how did everything go with you?

I'm scheduled in June , has anyone out there used this surgeon

Can anyone share with me what they have lost so far? And how long it's taken? And why you are so happy you decided to do wls? Need to hear positive vibes! Getting nervous... Thanks in advance

I'm having my surgery June 9. I have told a few people in my inner circle and regret it! My best friend was appalled! I'm so Sorry I told anyone other than my husband.
