I'm scheduled for surgery on October 6 and I'm getting nervous. I keep hearing these horror stories of surgeries gone wrong and I keep second guessing myself and it's making me a nervous wreck!! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

That's what I keep saying to myself. I'm excited but scared at the same time. I've been battling this for a long time. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I'm less than 3 weeks out from surgery and I'm so nervous!! Im assuming this is normal. I start my preop diet next Thursday. Some days I'm excited and some days I think do I really need to go this far?! But then I remember all the losing and gaining games I've played since high school. Please tell me I'm not the only one!

Lema, I've considered buying something to be my motivation. I thought about a bathing suit but not sure I want to go that route. A dress is a good idea!! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Tracybar, I'm the same way. There's moments where I'm super excited and then the next moment I'm like OMG what am I thinking?! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

My experience is very similar @candygyrl. I was "normal" size until I graduated high school and I just slowly gained and gained. I've tried every diet on the market with no results. I have multiple family members that have had the sleeve or bypass with awesome results. So now it's my turn!! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I'm planning on trying it. I read to mix it when the food isn't too hot though bc it causes it to gel. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

My surgery isn't until October 6th so I'm trying to buy a little at a time to be prepared! Let me know how it goes!! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Do you really want to waste your mind and time thinking about it? It's going to happen, ready or not. Are you normal? I have no clue. Can you imagine yourself wearing a smaller tent size? (Hey, it's your screen name.) You'll be fine. I'm not really wasting anything. Just can't wrap my mind around it. And I camp in a camper Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Did anyone find the magic bullet blender to be helpful? I just purchased one but thought I would ask before I opened it. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Thanks everyone! I'm glad I'm not alone!! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I have been heavy since graduating high school. Then after having my daughter in 2013, I was diagnosed with lupus and was on prednisone everyday for 2 years. That's when I really ballooned up. I didn't weigh what I do now when I was 9 mths pregnant!! I can't wait, just nervous!!! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
