I’m on the 16th. First time poster here

Surgery is next Wednesday 👏

Congrats! I am on the pre-op diet now but I must say, I had the best food funeral! 🙂

Hey, Surgery Sibling! I keep telling myself it's mind over matter. We all have to address our relationship with food and decide what/who we want to be going forward. It's normal to have concerns but think positive! Stay strong! You got this!

I'm the 18th and SUUUUUUPER excited!

Gosh, yes! My surgery is on 4th September and while am really excited the thought of not being able to eat properly or enjoy food with family & friends does give mixed emotions. I know that even if I lose weight on yet another diet, it will only be a matter of time before I pile it on and then some. Need a long long term solution - and deep down I know this is the right course of action for me. Look forward to hearing how you get on next month! All the best x

August 11th and I’m excited/scared

August 11th!

August 2nd (cross fingers)

Hi August Peeps. I am going to have my bypass in Mexico on 21st. Will fly into San Diego on 20th and go to hospital for some testing. Will stay in motel that night and have surgery on Saturday morning. Will spend 2 days in hospital and the fly Home late on Monday.

Super excited just got my surgery day for august 4 😬

I'm August 24th excited but super nervous no idea what to expect

Started my liver shrink diet on the 7th- I’m more than a week in and you know what? I’m freaking perplexed. I haven’t lost any weight. I’ve been good too. Oh well. I know the weight-loss will come.

I got my surgery instructions from the doctor today. My arrival time isn’t till 12:30 pm but they still want me to stop eating and drinking at midnight. I’m gonna be hella nauseated by the time I roll up in there.

20 days!

August 11th... Super excited and nervous at the same time... [emoji51][emoji16]

I start my pre-op diet on 7/26. I've had a couple of "food funerals" recently - though I've been able to keep my weight stable. Definitely getting nervous. Having a lot of What If thoughts. What if I don't lose weight? What if I have complications? Then there's the melancholy that comes though...am I never going to be able to enjoy food again?
Hanging in there....

I am going to have mine done in Mexico too on Aug 21st. I am super nervous as I am going alone.

My date for surgery is August 24 and Iam scared out of my mind. Pre op is going well though I'm down 15lbs in about a month give or take

My date actually moved up a week so now I’m Aug 23!

Just got my date today! August 23rd!! So excited to be joining you all! How is everyone feeling??

Assuming all goes right with insurance, I am 8/30....excited and a teeny bit nervous.

I had spine surgery in March. I’m still getting shooting pain down my leg. I gotta get this wait off my discs!

I have a 1 year old who needs and active mom and a 10 year old who needs a good role model! I’m stoked! August 6th can’t come soon enough!

Anybody else getting cold feet?

I was not loosing weight anymore on the pre-op plan because I was thinking about how loosing all this weight is making me go through peri-menopause again. (I had it bad with arthritis aches, sweating, Migraines, and moodiness.). I was thinking that I’m paying and working hard to go through it again.

Then I had an asthma attack and couldn’t sleep for three nights in a row. Finally my epiphany happened and I remembered that the terrible asthma is why I want to be healthy. The pre-op plan reduces inflammation and helps keep asthma away! Peri-menopause is temporarily, I want to see my son grow up. I’m back on track.

What is keeping you on track?

August 6th! I’m so excited! I’ve been on this journey since 2018!!!
