Stay positive.

Hi everyone,
My name is Rossella and I am looking for someone that is going to the process of having their surgery around May 12th so that we can support each other. I live in Arlington, VA but location is irrelevant, moral support can be from everywhere. I also just started my pre-op diet yesterday april 28th.
I am excited and scared at the same time...

I am having bypass on May 10th. Today is my 6th day on the pre-op liquid diet and so far it has not been nearly as hard as I thought it would be. I'm really not hungry but have occasional bouts of the munchies - you know, when you wander in the kitchen just looking around for something to eat. When that happens I have a Protein drink and it goes away. I'm getting so excited as the surgery date gets closer! I live in Maryland - not too far from you!

I'm currently on a 2 week pre op diet and can only eat chicken or beef broth, sugar free Jello, Protein Shakes, crystal light, Decaf black coffee, and decaf tea. That's it, no Soups,

Yeah don't be too envious. Since I got rid of it I have like no friends. My fiancé and my family are the only people I hang out with. I don't mind, because I'm a loner anyway. But sometimes I do mind. *shrugs*. It's sad that Facebook is depended on for staying in touch.

I had surgery 8 months ago, but I'm 24. If you have trouble finding someone with the same surgery time but are still looking to talk to someone around your age, feel free to friend/message me.

I get it! I can't wait to cross my legs!

My surgery date is May 9th!
Pre op all liquid diet is 2 weeks.
I'm so freaking excited.

Really good job!

- Not to have to wonder if a chair is going to support me before I sit down
- Not to have to walk light-footed through houses so I wouldn't shake the house AS MUCH
- Not to be larger than my significant other
- Not to wear out/break my recliners

Umm we should be buddies then! For sure!

Do any of you have a list of things that you want to do after you lose the weight? What are they?
I want to:
ride rollercoasters
run
go shopping
wear heels
ride horses! <3
