Thank you all for posting, it's comforting to know that there is someone out there who will understand what I'm going through. I do have a neighbor, who is a certified home health aide that is going to take me to and from the hospital and check up on me those first couple of days, so I should be ok there.

New to this forum and just nervous. My journey to this point only took 2 months, surgery date is August 23. I was so surprised and happy that everything went so fast. I'm a new widow who's on this journey all alone, no family in the immediate area and not so sure they would be positive support if they were here. I know I have to do this for me, and me alone. I'm limited in my activity level due to bad knees and hips (need surgery but first need to lose weight). Will be starting the pre-op diet on 8/9, started purging the kitchen of all foods not the lists, hoping to remove any temptations that would sneak in. Any other ideas to help me prepare for this would be appreciated.
