  7. I got my surgery date 10-3. I'm on the 2 week liquid diet half way through. A little about me. I'm 38 been over weight most of my life. January I decided no more...no more rollercoaster weight, diets. I was 340 at my heaviest a few years ago. I'd loose to 260 gain some back. Never under. Started this journey in January weighing 292lbs. Supposed to be 6 months, but in April diagnosed w/ uterine cancer stage 2 had to undergo a partial just in June and wait at least 3 months for bypass. In a little over a week I'll have my surgery. I'm excited, and nervous. Very few people in my life even know about this. Keeping it a secret has been a little hard.

    Yay the day after me Sent from my 5054N using the BariatricPal App
  14. One of the reasons I started this process in January, w/ 38 fast approaching was health and fertility issues. God had a different plan. Diagnosed w uterine cancer in April and partial just in June changed that, but I had already lost a little weight and was feeling much better. Still being diabetic I decided to proceed. My boyfriend who I met in April wasn't exactly supportive when I first told him my plans. Now on the w week liquid diet I tease him about "I'm gonna eat this or that" he tells me no because I have surgery coming up. He has insecurity and trust issues, not from me, but his past. He worries because after all, it's surgery. Because he thinks I'm beautiful at 260ish. Those were his reasons. Mine were I don't want to be like both my parents and die at a young age, it took me this long to find him. I need all the time I can get. It's one of those things you need to decide for yourself I think. Just pray about it, and God for his guidance. Sent from my 5054N using the BariatricPal App

    Incisions

    I haven't had by pass yet so I'd call Dr tomorrow. I had the same thing happen after laparoscopic hyst in June and a different laparoscopy in 2013. Think Dr said as long as it wasn't smelly, or red skin warm to touch I was alright. Hope that gives some comfort. Definitely call them though. Sent from my 5054N using the BariatricPal App
  17. Hugs thoughts and prayers. I am having surgery 10-3. But I understand my ex pretty much abandoned me after I had back surgery in 07. 2 months after we married that almost left me paralyzed at the time, there was no guarantee. His mom was my rock through that journey. We stayed married but rocky for 2 years then separated for 5. You got this. It will all be alright Sent from my 5054N using the BariatricPal App

    OCTOBER GBs where are you?!?!

    I haven't weighed since my last weigh in Friday 9-16 before I started this liquid fun. I was 262 then. I wasn't nervous at all til then. The hardest part was Wed night church body party. I wasn't tempted at all but I felt out of place w everyone else eating. Just something to get used to. I had my Jello and a shake. My pastors wife was gonna support me and just have her a shake "she's doing medifast" but she caved and ate too. Time for me to get off work and start my day.

    OCTOBER GBs where are you?!?!

    Oct 3rd surgery date excited. On my liquid diet. Half way through. My Dr. required the liquid only. I did have a cheat the other day, it wasn't too bad I don't think. I had a plain all veggie salad w/ 2oz of grilled chicken. I had bought the Bariatric Advantage banana, which was great when I tried it but after 3 days of that being all I had eaten. The thought made me gag, so I had something different. I tried to at least be healthy about it. Sent from my 5054N using the BariatricPal App
  22. I am on my liquid diet and already the food comm. Get to me. Even stuff I'd never eat looks great. It does hit me how attached I am to my food. I wouldn't say I use it as a coping tool. Just really enjoy food. I will enjoy my health even more though. I'm so ready. Sent from my 5054N using the BariatricPal App
