I m scheduled Sept 20th. I have been scheduled twice before. First time I chickened out. Second time my orthopedic rehab Dr told me not to do it because of my pain issues I was working on.
I rescheduled again. Weigh more now than before. Not sure how I will deal with the food issues but I need to do this. Need a healthier perspective on food portions and how to eat slower. Would love to be buddies.

I haven't been schedule yet, but if I get approved (praying!) I will be scheduled in August/September [emoji171]

Like was said above you need to be 100% sure this is what you want. It will help you lose the weight but let me tell you the MAINTANCE is the hardest. Mentally you will have so MUCH to figure out on your journey. It will not be easy!! For myself I had tried every diet known to mankind practically. I could loose some of my weight but lost my motivation some where along the way. I got really sick with my Fibromylgia had to leave a job that I had worked at for 10 years!! I hated what my body did to me. I lost so much of my joy because I was sick all the time. At that time I did lose 135#'s. But it didn't take me to long to gain it all back plus. THAT was a push toward my WLS. I had contacted a Surgeon in Eugene, Oregon. He wanted to do the Lap Band on me. I refused because my hubby had his Band for 13years of course he lost 100#'s but never got to his goal weight. So I just figured I would be heavy for the rest of my life!! Fast forward, hubby's Band had to be removed. While he was in his Dr's office the nurse and I were chatting and I mentioned that I only wish I could have WLS. When she asked me why I coudn't I told her of the other DR. Of course I made a appointment and I was ready to have my RNY even before my hubby's and removal of his Band. The rest is history. I lost 132#'s in 6 months but I did have a 8# gain. But I have maintained my 125#'s for 3 years now. But it is totally a fight to keep my mind from making me think that I can't keep doing this!! I swear my biggest fear is being a statistic and gaining my weight back. I even have nightmares that I have to weigh in front of my family and I had gained everything back plus. I still see the heavy Sherrie. Some days I feel so FAT and then some days I am ok. Total MIND STUFF!! Good luck in whichever you decide to do!!

You look great! Congrats! Hope I have that luck.

I have a scared spouse also and my surgery date is same as yours. I need to get under control with weight. I have several health issues and pre diabetes and high blood pressure sneaking up on me. I am nervous about doing this but I feel I need to to have better health going forward.

Got a question for anyone who is few months out and eating regular food again? Will a chicken or steak salad be fine to eat later? My favs....
