    Oof. Day 2 was rough. I had a hard time keeping anything down. Today is better in that respect. But I cried today a lot. I’m used to feeling ugly, but the new incisions are so ugly and hurt a bit that I just lost it. A conversation with my mom and one with my husband helped. I’m just hoping that it’s onward and upward from here. 🙂

    I’m out of surgery! Walking around and eating ice chips. I’m a little sore, but overall I feel good. 🙂 New beginning!!!!

    @TotallyPosh, I’m trying hard not to overdo it as well. I don’t want the transition to be too hard!

    Hey November fam! My pre-op appointment is on the 28th, so I’ll find out the details of my pre-op diet then. Until then I’m on the “Tour de Fat” — enjoying things I won’t be able to for a long time. 😂 Also, today marks 3 weeks since I quit smoking. Terrible habit, I know. But complications can occur with surgery if you smoke, so there you go. My husband quit with me in solidarity, which is nice. Anyone else in the group a quitter? Also, how are your SOs/loved ones supporting you in this journey?

    Where's everyone from :)

    A lot of Jersey folks on here! 🙂I am originally from NJ but now live in Conroe, TX. Surgery is scheduled for 11/6.
  10. Yeah, I had to do the questionnaire as well, and then a Skype video chat with the person doing the psych eval interview. Easy peasy!
  11. Hi all! At this point in time, only my husband, my family and a few close friends know. I work remotely from home, so there's no need for me to tell coworkers. I told my bosses that I needed to take a few days off because of surgery, but that it was nothing serious. My side of the family is in NJ, while we live in Texas close to my husband's family. Haven't told anyone on that side yet, but with the holidays coming...they'll see me not eating much and I'm sure they'll get suspicious, so I'll have to spill the beans at some point.
