Elforman believe me I have tried!! It’s not that they can’t cook it’s that they always depended on me (which is totally my fault) to cook the meals!! I agree hunger is a great motivator and believe me they have found their way around the kitchen and my husband around the grill since I put my foot down!! I should have done it a long time ago! Sometimes many parents, like myself, do so much for our children, we handicap them!! I’m learning many things about myself during this journey! Thanks for your responses!!

Honey you look fabulous!! Great job!! May 18 here I come!!

Hope everything went well with you guys!! Best of wishes!!

I’m on the 18th

My Hisband doesn’t want me to have the surgery either, but like I told him I’m doing this for me, my health and my family (including him). I have 4 grandchildren and I want to do whatever I can to be around to be their GeeGee! Now I told him I love you but I love me too!! Believe me I have always been the person who just goes with the flow and not rock the boat to cause an argument, but over the last few years I have found my voice and I’m gonna use it to take care of me!! Good luck to you!!

Great job, well done!! You look amazing!!

That is exactly what I did!! ?[emoji12] I gave them some hot dogs, buns and chips and said if you need anything else they have stored and restaurants you can go to!! Just pretend like I’m not here and get busy!! Thanks for the feed back!!

Oh my God somebody please help!! Trying to cook for my husband and grown children when I am on his liquid pre op diet!! I’m about ready to scream! Why can’t they just try an understand what it is like!!?[emoji35][emoji36]

You got it exactly right!! My WLS date is May 18th just 5 days away!!

Surgery scheduled for May 18, 2018!! I live in Alabama, about 20 minutes from the Georgia line so my Surgery will be in Georgia!!

Best wishes for a speedy recovery!!

You look great!! I will be having surgery 5-18-18 and I have been doubting if I’m doing the right thing!! This pre op diet has really been hard!! But hearing you talk about your experience has given me a brighter outlook!! Thanks!!

Yayyyyy I am so happy for you!! My surgery is scheduled for May 18, 2018!!

Good Luck!! My surgery is scheduled for Friday May 18

Anyone having surgery on May 18th!! My birthday is May 29 so I look at this as a birthday present “To Me/ From Me”!!!

Congratulations and good luck on your journey!!

Thanks for your words of encouragement!!

You actually asked many of the same questions I’ve been wondering!! Am I doing the right thing? How will holidays ever be the same (considering I do most of the cooking)? Maybe I should try one more thing before I do the surgery? I also let my head get wrapped around what others are saying: your not that big/ your BM is not high enough/ your not trying hard enough to do it yourself/ it’s all in your head/ you’ll get to little and you’ll look sick/ I love you the way you are/??‍♀️[emoji1496]‍♀️[emoji86][emoji31]!! I want to scream look, I am 48/49, 5’4”, HW 243, BM 42.2, HIgh blood pressure, borderline diabetic, sleep apnea, bad knees and lower back pain,and to top it off I can’t bend bend down and tie my own shoe without losing my breath!! HELLO!!!!! My surgery date for gastric bypass is May 18!! I wanted to do the sleeve but with acid reflux disease and my love for sweets the sleeve was not the best option for me!!

I am excited and nervous all at the same time! Have different opinions floating all around from family and friends! Some say you will feel like s new person, others say your crazy, others say your not that big! ??‍♀️

I am scheduled to have gastric bypass in May and I am worried about thinning hair also, I’m also afraid of sagging skin!!

May 18

I am excited that I have my date for surgery but I am sad and scared because of the unknown! I, like many of you have used food as a crutch for so long that it’s got to be a total change in my life style, but I know without this surgery, i will not be able to get where I want to be!! Good luck to all of you on this exciting journey!!

Hey I have my date for surgery and it’s May18!! I don’t know about you but I’m excited and scared at the same time!! Praying things go well for you and good luck!!

I am scheduled for May 18th and I’m also nervous!! Best of luck to you!!
