    Well thanks so much 1badassbiggurl as I thought I was the only one out there who was trying to keep this from my family. There are so many in this forum who have a lot of support and although I am very happy for them, I can’t help but feel like their experiences are going to differ so much from mine if I go forward with this. I’m not saying they’ll have it easy at all but it helps to have someone in your corner. Yes just like you I also have very strongewilled and opinionated people in my family who would never understand how much of a struggle it is everyday. Their solution would be: work harder to lose the weight or live like that for the rest of your life. Sadly, if I could do either then I wouldn’t be on this forum, right? I do agree I need to tell someone to help me through this time but I can’t bring myself to do it. I’m leaning towards perhaps a close friend but I’m still in the process of thinking about having it done. I haven’t scheduled anything yet. I like your idea of the letters which another member on the forum, eden30, suggested would be the best way to tell my husband. She suggests that writing out your feelings is better because when you write you usually write from a place of love not anger. I also think it is easier to express how you really feel on paper. I find it intimidating when you are face to face. Either way I must find a way to do this and I am so lucky that I found this forum because your kindness and encouragement keep me believing that I can do this. Thanks for the support and great suggestions. I hope eden30 is also reading this because she is another source of encouragement for me. Please let us know how your procedure goes in two weeks 1badassbiggurl. Keep us posted on how your family reacts also. Eden30, how is your progress? I hope you are continuing to lose and keeping up your energy. Thanks again all!

    Just had my surgery and wanted to let you know that all went well ...and guess what? That head strong, very opinionated family I was worried about telling and sent those letters to, right before I️ went into the OR, all showed up to the hospital and were waiting to greet me when I️ woke up in recovery!

    Thank you for keeping me in your prayers. The hospital just called I’m to report there at 10:30am. I’m so anxious! It’s like when I was a child on Christmas Eve. [emoji847]

    I started my Pre-surgery Liquid plan. My surgery is slated for 11/7. I feel weird.. I feel so full with the Meal Replacements shakes..it’s all good. I will be honest with you, I’m kind of nervous. My mom who is heavy set herself who is also a diabetic has the audacity to lecture me what I shouldn’t be eating before my surgery date. She gave me this entire speech / lecture as though she had been sleeved before and advised me of the vegetables I shouldn’t be eating before my surgery date. According to her its standard surgery procedure. I might bleed to death. I was so annoyed! I was so taken back. Unfortunately I don’t have anyone to be with me after the surgery she is the only person that’s not working that will be available to drive me home from the hospital. I have concerns. I feel as though she’s going to try to either challenge or try to knock me down and I can’t let her! I need to embrace for impact!

    I was fine until yesterday; I had blood drawn for my preoperative appointment & now I just feel like BLAH! It started with a headache last night and today I’m dragging. Still not hungry, which is great; I think my body has gotten used to the low calorie liquid diet. But I have no energy. I should add that I am anemic so I’m thinking with all the blood that was drawn and the combination of little to no calories that could be the culprit. Going to bed early this evening.
