I was told to beware of the carbs. Muscle milk has a lot of carbs and I was told to stay under 5.

My process from start to finish took about the same amount of time. On my day of surgery it will have been almost 11 months to the day of the beginning of my process.

It takes a minute. But it will be well worth it! I promise.

I'm on day 9 of my liquid diet and am just as anxious as I was forever ago. My nerves are just sitting in now.

All I can say is "wow" I am so sorry that you're dealing with that and not having the support you need during this difficult transition period! But... here's the good news... YOU HAVE US! You can come here for support and now you have a ton of people on your side who are (or have been through) exactly what you are going through!

That being said, you said your friends are supportive? Is there anyway that you may be able to stay with them for a little while? It sounds like besides the fact that your family isn't supportive, there's an EXTREMELY full house in the first place.

I currently live with my mother, my brother, and my twin two year olds and boy it's hard enough living with them and they support me by not eating in front of me, or making sure that I have plenty of sugar free jello/popsicles to get my by if they do eat at home. And I'm just on my liquid preop diet. It's so funny because last night my mother was shocked to find me cooking dinner for my family even though I simply cannot eat it, little does she know, I'm trying out recipes that will be Bariatric friendly for me in the long run!

That being said, I'm glad and extremely happy for you for taking this step, and continuing to stand your ground with your family who is being everything but supportive. Huge, POSITIVE, things are coming your way regardless of the obstacles you are currently facing.

I am here if you ever want to talk, vent, scream, or just need another friend.

I have heard the age thing so many times! I am 23 and so anxious for it to happen.

from my consultation to my surgery date will be almost 11 months to the day.
I had my initial consultation on April 5th of last year I believe, and my surgery date is on the first of March.

However, there was a ton of hoops I had to jump through due to having a crappy case worker, and having to switch in the middle of my 6 month supervised diet. I was done with everything is November technically, submitted everything right after the new year (the 13th of Jan.) Got approved on the 28th, and had a date by the 30th.

It's amazing that instead of trying to have a logical discussion you jump into insulting when things aren't going your way. There's so much more to life then being mean all of the time.

I have 11 days left. (12 if you count today) lol I'm so anxious.

Why in the world are you acting like that? She's asking a question because she wants to know. That is the purpose of this. To help each other out. Your "numbers" seems extreme so it was questioned. You need to chill

I did read the rest of your post. Regardless you seem very rude. You could've answered much more respectful and not have treated her like she's a child. The "Newbie" comment for example was beyond uncalled for. But anyways, I don't stand for being rude/mean for no reason.

You have a great day!

I'm sorry but I acted indignant? But in the next line, you said that you found some chill? Not hardly.
As I mentioned before, I simply asked the forum a question, and you answered extremely 'matter of fact-ly,' when the truth is, your stats were incorrect. Alternative facts, if you will.
Your INITIAL response was completely out of pocket, but I'm thankful that someone else saw how smug it was so I wouldn't be led to believe that I'm imagining things.

I hope you have a great weekend.

lol i try

You are awesome!!

That I should have done it years ago instead of letting things get so out of control with my weight! :-)
And that the surgery part of the experience was no where near as traumatic as I built it up to be.
Good luck!

What is something you wish you would've known BEFORE your surgery?

Yay for march! Congrats

You got this!
