Oh you're a week before me. Congratulations and good luck. Keep me posted 😊

Back at cha and will do

thank you momof3_angels for the great advice. I am happy to say that she called me just hours ago to inform me that she thought maybe worded what she was trying to convey wrongly and that I maybe misunderstood her so she is back on board and her and I are good she only wanted me to truly understand that its not a quick fix and that its a major surgery and you cant undo it once its done. She herself has many regrets but I on the other hand believe I am doing the right thing for myself over all. I have done my research and do understand the pros and cons to having surgery I am ready to make this change cause I am ready to take back my life!!!!

mine is September 16th

congratulations to everyone with dates set

Hi my name is Marie and I am new to group. I am currently 1week and four days into my 1 month preop liquid diet and the struggle is real. I don't feel hungry .I just want to eat some food. I am counting the days down until my September 16th surgery date. I am anxious excited nervous and scared somewhat, After talking with my sister today ( who has had the surgery years ago) she is the one I thought would be the most supportive. She has me thinking that I shouldn't be so excited about my preop appointment and my upcoming surgery. I am almost second guessing myself, more nervous about the process ..I do understand this is a major surgery and maybe that's what she thought I wasn't taking it seriously... looking for any advice or support ????
