    My surgery is scheduled Jan 14 2016!! Best way to start the New Year! Although the closer the date gets the more nerves I have and doubt keeps crawling in. Anybody else have that?

    my date is 12/30. I have no doubts what so ever. A bit of nerves tho. I had 4 major surgeries in 2014 - never elective. I am cleaning house - getting everything in place!! Its like pregnant nesting!!
    It has been over 30 years since I had a pregnant nesting!!! Guess I will see what that is like again! I am having surgery for the VSG on 1/19/16 and am so excited.

    I also am having a bit of nerves but I have no doubts as to getting the surgery.

    My best to you for your surgery on the 30th, Cherri and yours, Taylor on the 14th of Jan.

    Thank you!! And the best of everything to you....I haven't nested for 34yrs. Now it is our turn...boy that seems weirdly wonderful!!

    Hi mommy - I have started my LSD and so far not too bad...even with the Christmas goodies in the house. I'm still waiting for my insurance approval, but as of now. I'm 25 days from being sleeved. I asked Santa for a journal this year so I could record my journey. I hope to keep my measurements, weight and pictures in it as I go through changes. My dh makes a little bit of fun of me because all I've ever wanted was a belly button ring when I make goal weight. For the first time in a long time, this seems achievable. I hope you are doing well. Please let's stay In touch.

    I received a journal for Christmas to keep my trip documented. I didnt think of pictures to add!! I have been writting about my apprehentions in it along with my excitement. It will be wonferful to check next Christmas!! My date is 12/30!!!

    Lol it is all great and it is way easier than everyone could tell you. I believe in my heart that how you feel about yourself is how far you will get in this. What i mean by that is if you are willing to do this . You are going to succeed. Those who don'tare just giving up on tthemselves. Your body will actually climate to the colder weather lol. You will do awsome cherri. Just put yourself in a positive state of mind . The lbs will just fall off

    thanks for the info and support!! Enjoy your Christmas!! I am/will be amazing at this! Just waiting for wednesday!!

    Not shopping in stores yet, but did just place an online order for some 3xl-tall shirts from Old Navy. Hoping those tide me over for at least a month or two as most of my 5xl and 4xl shirts look like circus tents on me right now.

    Great feeling right there !!!!!!!!!

    Well done.

    I sure hope I never have to step foot in one of their stores again. Hideous clothing at ridiculous prices.

    I just kicked Casual Male to the curb, too. Done.

    Truth right there ^^^^^^^^^^

    Very cool, Mrs ISG.....very cool indeed.

    You are doing great and will continue to do great.

    I just kicked Casual Male to the curb, too. Done. Getting into stuff available in regular stores is going to be fun.....Hell, I may even enjoy shopping. Always hated it before.

    That's Ms. ISG, to you!

    I dun goofed again.

    It's tough when English isn't my primary language. Many goofs.

    Still trying to figure out what my primary language actually is ?

    Is Southernese a language ?

    yes! yes! yes! Southernese is a language if you are from North Carolina!!!

    I am 4 days post op. My mind still reacts positively when viewing food commercials but my abdomen (gas pains, bloating) says don't even think about it (lol)! Waited a long time to get the surgery (59) so I am not going to do anything to derail me. My advice is to continue to drink your liquids, if possible, attend a local support group too to share experiences and keep reminding yourself why we took this journey.l :)

    i am 59 also and was worried I was too old to have surgery!! My date is the 30th - cant wait!!!

    Thank you that makes me feel better. They are replacing my right knee next Tuesday. Sept 1st . My left is doing great but it is still not quite straight. It is 2° from being straight and bends up to 115°. I can bear all my weight on my leg so I am in good shape there. Plus since I had my gastric sleeve I have lost 66 lbs.

    Awesome weight loss!!! I have had one knee replaced and hope WLS will keep me from having the other!!!
