Thank you everyone! Surgery is 2 pm tomorrow

You've got this!

Click on your name at the top and then "My Tickers"

@@boosh10 Don't be scared of the information out there. The more armed you are with information overload on BOTH sides of the spectrum, the more empowered you will feel.

I am Thursday too and can't wait to sweat again!

SO amazing! You go girl!

Well, I'm 40 and my hubby is 54 but you'd never know it. He's a sexy beast, and the most amazing lover I've ever had, so don't knock the over 50 crowd LOL

I'm planning to take 18 days, assuming everything goes normal. But, I do have a corporate desk job, so relatively sedentary.

I think that as you gain confidence and fall in love with yourself again, love will find you. Just be open to it and it will happen xoxo

Congrats!

LOL

Stress incontinence is a result of heaviness in the abdomen and placed on the bladder. If that is the root cause of the sneezy leaks, it will get better. It could also be caused from a variety of things. I highly recommend ben wa balls.

Wow. Someone is a grumpy cat. Have a nice night, dear. You clearly don't want help, you only want justification. I can't help with that, but maybe someone else will. Best of luck on your journey!

You asked for thoughts and tips. You got them Nobody is judging you, sweetheart. Relax a little. No reason to be defensive, I'm just being honest.

This won't be a popular opinion, but if you binge after half a day on a sensible diet, you may want to consider that you might not be ready for such a drastic change to your life. This is going to require long term commitment and binges cannot happen. You will risk all sorts of complications post op if you don't take it very seriously. I'm not trying to be a debbie downer, but I want you to truly consider what the ramifications will be for you long term if you can't get your mind around how to use your tool to help you. It's not magic and you can easily gain or not lose at all after surgery if you don't settle some food issues. I say this with all the love in the world!

Everything happens for a reason! This time next year it won't matter at all

Yeah, it's not bad. I actually wish I had gotten that flavor, but I only have one day of protein left. Thank God!

My surgery is coming up on Thursday and I'd call my emotions and nerves like a bowl of potpourri. None of them are the same, and they are all mixed up in one day. More than anything I am ready to move forward, optimistically, but I've also accepted the fact that complications can happen. I pray that they won't, and I have strong faith, but it's all in God's control now. Be strong and remember why you're doing this. Love and light!

It is ABSOLUTELY necessary. You need follow up visits for life AND a support system of people that have been where you are. Don't make excuses and budget the money. You've invested so much in yourself. This is really important.

If you're cooking healthy to give your children good, clean nutrition, it will be easy to stick to your nutrition as well Don't keep a lot of instant type foods around (Read: hot dogs, fried nuggets), or sugary cereals, etc. Foster clean eating early in their lives and it will be much easier for them in the future, too.

Good stuff!

They have ALL sorts of flavored broths like thai, spicy, southwest, etc.

I'm still pre op but I've seen a lot of people say that they can have it when they start normal food at around 8-10 weeks out, but it needs to be bites as small as your pinky fingernail and chew, chew, chew.
