Thank you! I can hardly wait!

Thank you!

Thank you!

Tomorrow morning can't come fast enough! Surgery is at 9am and I am overly excited for this new chapter in my life to begin. I have put in hard work to make it to this point. I am taking time to actually try and relax today and keep my anxiety down, but it's hard too keep calm!!!

Congratulations on making it this far! My surgery is in 7 days and I am super excited. I know how you feel, when you have to hear the negative views and opinions of others. Don't let them break your spirit though. You are doing this surgery for you and not for them. Many people don't realize that it's not about what you eat that causes the weight gain. Emotions, stress, depression and mental well being contribute to weight as well. If the people that view your choice in a negative light can't be happy and supportive of you, then they obviously don't truly care about you. People that care, can see where you have struggled and will do their best to encourage, support and uplift you on this journey. I wish you much success on your journey!!!

Thank you so much!

OMG I love it...Renovation Syndrome! Thank you for such a great outlook!

It's actually a maxi dress. One of my favorites but, I am definitely willing to part with it when it gets too big lol

Hey there Twinsie!!! Thank you for the compliments. I am so eager for the 25th to get here as well! I've already started going through old clothes and bagging up things that have gotten too big, so that I can give them away!!! I can know practically run up my stairs and remember not long ago I had to walk one step at a time.

@Chrisb428 Thank you for the positive support!

@Frustr8 Thank you so much for the compliment and encouragement!

Just had my final pre-op appointment yesterday and I was so stoked when I stepped on the scale and it said 249lbs.!!! I've been tolerating the liquid diet really good, no headaches or nausea. However, I did have a craving to chew some food...I chose to chew up a popsicle instead. I've come to far to listen to my cravings...not today Satan!!! HW: 297 CW: 249 SW: We shall see when the 25th comes! GW: 145

Congratulations on your successful journey! You look great!

I found this great protein powder that is 25g of protein per 6oz., 0 sugars and 1g of carbs. It's by Dymatize and I got it in the classic chocolate flavor. It tastes really good and it's not heavy or thick tasting.

Congratulations! You are looking great!

Thank you for the words of encouragement. I appreciate that

Thanks you. I will be sure to check it out!

Thank you! It's definitely been trying but, I refuse to give up on myself. My surgery is the 25th too, we're twins! [emoji847]

Thank you!!!

Thank you so much! Yes I am super prepared and extra ready!!! I've waited too long to take control of my weight but, luckily I actually did decide to take control for good!

Thank you so much! You look great...you are doing an awesome job so far! I truly appreciate the motivation!!!

I've been waiting a year to get to a surgery date for my RNY. I'm proud to say I have gone from 297lbs to 252lbs on my own, over the past year and finally have a surgery date. I'm 13 day says away from surgery and currently doing my liver shrinking (liquid) diet. I've had so many people try and discourage me but, they don't realize the health issues that the weight has caused me. Hopefully this will be a good place of support and positive vibes. Thanks for listening (well technically for reading lol)
