Okay I have my countdown going...T-57 days until I start my new healthier life! (1/6/15 will be my new 2nd chance birthday ????). Who would like to share, celebrate, vent and support one another? ????

Philly Girl here! I am schedule for 1/6/15 at Jefferson. Any local January soon-to-be sleevers? ????

Way to go! Enjoy the new healthier YOU! ????

Thanks everyone it's OUR turn! ????

Way to go!!

Or an off the cuff reply to them could be - Well at least I was about to have surgery to help me with a healthier lifestyle.....what can you do to help get your brain working better? Then just smile and wave and hand them a big old piece of pie!!! HA! ????????

Same boat here! But it's not about "them" it about YOU. Trust me the people that you want and thought could be the leader of your support system turns out not to be...it hurts and you know what let it hurt. BUT do not let it destroy you take that energy and use it for YOU. It's time to do things for you and in time those against it will see the new you, the healthier you and the happy you! ???? And if that doesn't work just punch them in the throat and walk away LOL. Or at least visualize it...it helps and makes you laugh. Stay strong you can do this!

I am in search of a good but high protein shake as well. The best so far is GNC Lean Shakes however I just brought from CVS this morning I individual packs of the CVS brand Whet Protein not too bad.

So I have been back and forth for over three years with WLS. This past year has been draining for me. My father was ill, started a new job, lost my dad to Cancer, lost my job three weeks after my dad past, was unemployed for five months. I have done for many people and always put others before me and supported whatever they felt was important. I am 5ft and 249lbs. I have made the decision to have the sleeve on Jan. 5, 2015 it's time to do ME! I just got my surgery date so I am only tell those that are close to me. Some reactions made me smile and know they will be there. Only two people who I am closest to think I should not have the surgery. Well guess what I am so ready for this that all though it upsets me that they can't see or feel how important it is for me. I will not allow it to rain on my parade! Get ready 2015 I am going to own you LOL!! ????#timeforjune
