Congratulations! I am so proud of you! Tomorrow is my surgery, so I am so very very nervous. I just am looking for some motivational members here that have done well and are still kicking after surgery!

I am so happy for you! I remember when I was fit and used to go to the gym 4 days a week. I miss my fit self, but life got the better of me. Definitely take it slow. Before you know it, you will be running a 5K. Just remember that some days you feel amazing and can run so much, others you will just be exhausted and be like "f" this. It usually helped when I ate a carb before running. Congratulations!

So excited for you! I remember finding out that my insurance was going to cover mine! I felt a sense of security. It will be time for your surgery before you know it! Mine is tomorrow, and I am so so so so nervous!

I am so so so so so so so so so scared! I might have an anxiety attack before the surgery. Anyone get some medicine to calm them through the IV? Does it work?

Thank you! I really appreciate other people’s positivity since I am lacking it! I don’t know how I am going to sleep, hence me being awake at 4:13am!

So happy for you!! My surgery is tomorrow (Friday) and I am so so so so so so scared!! 😭😭😭😭

Hi! I have a job interview next week for a teaching position. You usually need to do a practice lesson so they can see how you teach. Will I be able to teach for 30 minutes after my surgery? Surgery is on Friday! They wanted the demo on Monday, but I really don’t think that is a good idea. What do you think??????

So proud of you! Keep it up!! It takes a champ to do that!

It is the second day of my pre-op diet. I can have three protein shakes, chicken broth, jell-o, ice pops, yogurt, and calorie free drinks. I am currently starving and miserable. I really need some encouragement. Surgery is on Friday. I am just so sad and want food 😭😭😭

You look so great, and I am so proud and jealous of you! Wish I will be as successful!

I do believe you, but at the moment I am so miserable and want pasta and bread and pizza. I hate myself so much, but food definitely does make me so happy. I miss being skinny and fit, but this is just sooo hard. The only reason I am sticking with it is because I am so scared of the surgery. Do you still have food cravings?

You will definitely have the best sleep. I remember feeling queezy and had heart burn for the rest of the day, but wasn’t too bad. You aren’t supposed to drive, but I did drive at night. I benefited from resting the rest of the day, but you’ll be fine!

How is everything going surgery twin? Today is day two of my pre-op liquid diet and I am starving. I am craving bread and pasta so badly!!!

Started my liquid pre-op diet yesterday. I have horrible stomach cramps now! Could it be the protein shakes? You would think this healthy eating would cause awesome BMs but nope! Ugh 😑

You have to start your pre-op diet early! I start mine the 10th. I know that is going to be difficult. I have not eaten that little in a long time. I am leaving for a cruise on Saturday, so that is when I will do all my goodbyes 😂 I really hope I heal quickly because I am a teacher, and I start school three weeks after surgery. Keep me posted, and let me know how the pre-op diet is!

My date is August 17th!!! I found my surgery twin! Are you nervous? I am but also very excited!

I am scheduled for August 17th as well! I am nervous but ready! Let’s be friends and keeps tabs ☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️ Have you done everything so far? I need to do the blood work and the 45 minute sonogram which is in two weeks

August 17th! I am so excited! 😊😊😃😃

Hi! I just set up all my appointments yesterday! I literally have to do everything that you are doing! Do you have Aetna? My surgeon already gave me a date of August 17th! Hopefully we get approved that’s what I am worried about.

From 2010-2011 I lost 60lb. From 2011-2012 I gained 60lb. From 2012-2016 I lost 60lb and hit my lowest weight of 139lb. From 2016-present I gained 90lb. At highest weight of 227lb. I just don’t want to try and do it again 😭 I am physically exhausted all the time. I am depressed and food is the only thing that makes me happy. I just want the surgery to kill my cravings and help jumpstart my lifestyle change, which I never succeeded in doing. Did anyone else feel the same before surgery? I just need this tool because I’m tired of losing and gaining!

I am not sure if I should get the surgery because I have no other health problems. I would feel better if I did because I could tell myself that I am taking a risk to reduce my health problems, but I have none! What if I am making the wrong decision by getting surgery? I am so stressed and don’t want to die Anyone else just obese and that’s it before surgery?
