Tuesday the 21st for me!

Honestly, i know it's not the smartest thinf - but i just ATE. And gained the 10 lbs needed to be approved..... it worked; no regrets, my date is this Tuesday, the 21st....

.... that's what i was gonna say,@dklentz01983 - that's what I did; gained 10 lbs....

Wooooow,@LIA-70 .....perfectly well said!! That's what my friend told me to do also, because it will be ages, if ever, that i can have my current favorite food again!!! Thankfully, my pre-op is only 3 days. MUCH shorter than most... i know i can do this!

So happy your family is on board,@icunursie ...!! I know so many that their families make it harder.... you're a very lucky woman!! Best of luck... you got this!

Amazing job,@mylighthouse !! Keep it up!!

Hey there, @ itszee ... i found a great recipe that i already can't wait to try, and i haven't even had the GS yet!! ■from Pinterest■ *Chicken Broth & Potato Purée – Bring 2 cups Chicken Broth to a boil in a small pot. Remove from heat and whisk in Idahoan 100% Potato Flakes one tablespoon at a time until you have a nice smooth almost pourable texture. Add a little more broth if you have added too much potato flake. Season with salt and pepper so it tastes good. You can divide it in half and add a little Parmesan cheese and garlic powder for a second flavor. This is delicious, soothing and very easy for your new tummy to handle." nomorefluff

For me, the 2 i have i thought about where to put them for a long time. ONE in the middle of my back, and one on my wrist, there won't be any changes.... nomorefluff

Right behind you, on the 21st.@juliorodz....!!! We got this!! nomorefluff

That's AWESOME,@higher !!!!! I'm so excited about this.... I can remember specifically when i was 143 lbs.... and at that time, although [as you said] i was still considered overweight.... i never felt so great than at that point!!! I eventually lost control, but now it's time to get that control BACK.... and for good!! nomorefluff

@berry78 .... VERY true. I don't necessarily get upset, but i do get hurt... however, i rake that very moment to tell them what I weigh.... and the look on their faces changes when they discobee i am over 200 lbs, at this height. THEN they see that i really want this, and they say "you go for it, i'm happy for you" .. so for the most part, it's been okay. And i have a 'speech' prepared for the day I go in.. #IAMREADYBABY nomorefluff
