@@JupiterinVirgo you have no idea how much I needed to hear your words. I too have struggled with trust issues in med field along with self doubt and fear of complications. As I get closer to my surgery date (12/21/16) my addiction is trying everything to win. I know this isn't a cure all, and I know there is lots of work to be done, but fear has held me back for so long, that I have listened as if it is a trusted friend! Your words were exactly what I needed to hear to tell fear, once and for all, to take a hike! I will not let fear rule my life any longer! This is a Weightloss adventure, but the journey is in finding out what we are made of, what we have been missing, and what we are meant to be! Thank you again!!!!!

@@Miss Impala I'm having the same issues (started last Wed 12/1 for VSG surgery 12/21) my NUT said it is withdraw from the gluten and sugar-that is why the fog. Said "after surgery you will be surprised that you felt so bad all the time but didn't realize because was your normal". I hope so! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Hey guys! Sorry, thought I was in the group but I am old and busted and apparently Tex challenged!I'm 12/21 I'd love if you could add me to calendar please...I'd love buddy support!

I'm December 21st as well!!!! Just started my pre-op diet today. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Twinsies! How's your diet going? I start mine this Wed. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App I am trying to do this without cheating-it's a challenge, I'll be honest! I just keep telling myself it's only "x" more days...I know it's going to make the surgery easier for me & Dr. too so that helps...but the worst is being around the family when they eat ....I know I can do this, just need to convince my brain and stomach!!

All the darn parties--the neighborhood has one, the office has one, then my company has one...then my husband's company. And they are AMAZING parties, food-wise. Luckily I 'll be in recovery during the party time. Besides, I didn't wan to buy another 'fat outfit' to wear to a party. I'll wait until next year and nibble on a couple of things in a cute outfit.I TOTALLY hear ya! This time next year we'll get to buy a super cute outfit that we like-and not because it fits, but because we like it and feel comfortable in it!!!!
