  1. Thank you. I have 2 1/2 weeks before my surgery. Hoping I won't need all those pills for much longer!
  2. I haven't had my surgery yet, January 4th is my date. I've been reading and getting all the information I can. A lot if people say gas-x strips, so I've put those in my bag for the hospital already! Good luck & feel better
  3. Good luck to all of you, you will all do great! I'm going in on January 4th. And Bailey I feel everything you're feeling. My thoughts and prayers will be with you all and wishes for the besy
  4. I'm having mine on the 4th also! Very excited amongst other things! Ready to start the new year off on a healthy note!
  5. I'm waiting to hear the same. I'm on Wellbutrin XL on the morning and Duloxetine in the evening. No anxiety meds, although I'm on atenelol for my rapid heart beat. I have 9 scripts, take about 30 pills a day with my vitamins. Thinking about crushing all of these and taking them scares me. Actually makes me ill, but I guess I have to figure it out. We can do it!
  6. Congratulations, looks like you're doing great and handling things awesome. You should be proud of yourself. My surgery is Jan 4th, I only hope I can handle things as easily as you seem to be. You make it look so simple, lol. I'm nervous, scared, anxious and excited all in one. Ready for my new lie to begin. Thanks for your story!
  7. Hi and welcome. It wasn't easy for me to open up here either but everyone welcomes with open arms.

  9. He's an incredibly selfish man and must be afraid of loosing you. But let it go in one ear and out the other because your health is most important. And you deserve this, you deserve to feel better and good about yourself. Sounds like you have a wonderful son who loves and adores his mother. He will be of great comfort to you in Texas and know we will all be here for you. Good luck and God bless Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using the BariatricPal App
  10. Same day Dayna. Care to have a friend to walk through your journey with? I know I could use one. Otherwise I'll always be around for you, or anyone to compare notes. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using the BariatricPal App Same day! I'm here if you're looking for someone to go through your journey. The more the merrier and I know I'd love the company of friends who are doing the same thing! Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using the BariatricPal App
  11. I'm 53. Don't know if that’s old enough for you, but it's older than a lot of the people I see on here. I'm kaving WLS on January 4th. Ready, anxious, scared but my life is threatened by too many things and it's time to get healthy. New year, new me. It's going to be a long, hard journey but we'll worth it. I know the excess skin will be a problem and not for vanity reasons, I'm the least vain person I know. My weight is all in my belly and it's already an issue. But I'll deal with that later. You've done great! You should be proud. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using the BariatricPal App

  13. Thank you laceemouse. I haven't had fast food in I don't remember. I'm not a soda drinker so I'm good. Guilty of coffee, I need to cut it out and stop sweeteners. I think even though it's not sugar I still crave sweet. Processed foods are very limited. I'll increase my protien shakes and keep increasing my water. I need to make sure I eat 3 meals a day that's been hard. I wish you the best! Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using the BariatricPal App
  14. Good luck! Sending prayers.. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using the BariatricPal App
  15. Happy birthday Maggie! You look great. Awesome job Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using the BariatricPal App
  16. I think so too and my thoughts are to follow it even though it's not required. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using the BariatricPal App
  17. My date is January 4. Best holiday gift anyone could give me! So excited! I don't have a goal outfit, but my bf is long distance and I won't see him until 4-5 months out and that loss and change is my first goal! Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using the BariatricPal App
  18. 5 years ago I was told I was eligible for gastric bypass surgery at 300+ pounds. I decided against an wanted to try it on my own. I lost 80 pounds in 1 1/2 years, maintained it for 2 1/2 years and slowly started to gain back 45 pounds in a year. After trying so many things and failing, I decided to go back to my PCP and finally say yes to seeing my WLS surgeon. He said yes immediately, all my tests were done and all my paperwork submitted. Now the waiting game. Now I know some of you have waited months, even longer, so my impaitience of having to wait not even a week is crazy. Then when I found out I was terrified! Well today I got my date. January 4, 2017! December 28 I go to my class. I'm so excited!! 33 days and counting. I was told I don't have to do a pre-op prep. Question, do you think it would benefit me to do one anyway? Even if I did it for one week? Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using the BariatricPal App
  19. Wow, you're doing awesome! Keep going. I just got my approval and know waiting for a date. I'm 265 and I'm ready, but nervous. Hoping to have it by the end of the year...you're an inspiration. Thank you for posting. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using the BariatricPal App
