Oh sorry, I totally get that, its a closed group so only those in the group should be able to see the posts and I tried to call it something that wasn't obviously weight loss surgery related for people who want to be more privet, but I completely understand the need for privacy

ok here's the group https://www.facebook.com/groups/119299445360201/

i don't suppose you guys would wanna do a Facebook group type thing? just cuz its in that same cluster of time and its nice and what not, i like this website, but find it difficult to navigate at times

yes! the last super lol I ate a bunch of wings and some really spicy curry, and then i start the liquid hell in a couple days

So I'm not doing it through the NHS (because the waiting list is disastrous) which is why it's like oh doctor meeting was last week and already a date might be set, I do have to do the diet I'm meeting with a dietitian on Tuesday, and she'll be giving me the full run down. I'm in North London, though its cheaper to go as far from central London as possible when you go privet so I'll be having my surgery in Redbridge (about an hour outs). I might end up in the states to stay with family for a bit in September (im a dual national) so I'm excited that so many people are in the states Congrats on your date!!!!!!

I got the news yesterday that Im penciled in for August 3rd! Im based in England, I don't think I saw anyone who isn't from the states, but hi all super excited and super nervous HW 279 CW 277

oh my God yes! we can do the thing! My liquid diet starts around the same time and I'm so nervous about it, I'm like trying not to think about it too much, which is my coping mechanism currently also like we should totally be each others surgery buddies if you're down

So waiting for my surgeon to get back to me about a few details but i have been penciled in for August 3rd and I'm really nervous about it? Like I'm so excited to be able to have this tool to help me get my trust in my body back but like I feel like I'm a bit in a panic of oh I need to eat XYZ before for like one last time (cuz I'm dramatic like that) and so those are my thoughts and feelings right now....anyone else doing it around this time? How are you feeling? HW 279 CW 277 BMI 47

I gotta say Im unsure if I will be telling anyone beyond my immediate family members, I especially don't want my extended family to know. I think, for me, its something I need to do for my body, I don't tell everyone I know about my mental health problems why would I tell them about this...It might be partially my ego or pride that I don't want people to know but who cares about the reasoning, I don't think there needs to be justification for what I choose to tell people about my medical history or experiences.
