Just had my "last supper" lol! I went to Carrabbas! Two days till liquid diet...

I wanted to give up too! But don't, it will go by faster than you think. I know it sucks but you'll be glad you did. I'm 2 weeks post op and I had to wait the 6 months too. You've probably already done research but do more, try to change your eating habits, (have more than a couple of "last meals") lol! And from what I've seen most insurances come through, after you jump through some hoops. Mantra time! Everything will be okay, everything will be okay!

I am right there with you! I didn't eat anything but I want to and I thought the surgery would change the way I feel about food. But everyone on here says eventually we will feel like it's the best thing we ever did, so we gotta keep the faith!

I'm with you I love em

I just did it! I did it and I'm good! I have pain but I'm not miserable. I can't believe it now it really is the first day of my new life!

Thank you I don't know what I'd do without all of you.

You have to create new habits. Shoveling snow, pain in the butt though it may be is a good exercise. Going for a walking, even a short 15 minute walk is exercise when you are drudging through snow. Get some videos, check youtube or On Demand if you have cable and work out at home. Learn to knit/crotchet/sew. Read a book. Start a blog. You need to figure out a new normal for you. Take a class online. This is the time to learn how to live a life where food is not your only friend. The sky is the limit.

I like this one, too. And it's on you tube????

I'm day three post op and understand doing pretty good! I just worry about dehydration cuz I'm home now and so no more saline drip. My pain isn't bad just uncomfortable. I weigh 5 pounds more than when I started but I suppose it's gas! I'm only burping. So all of you waiting out there try not to be nervous. Have them stay on top of your pain meds and nausea medicine and you'll be fine!
