December Surgery Buddies!
You are killing it! I def see it in the pictures. I didn't do much before and after like I should have. But people are noticing too. I am so ready for warmer weather and I am in GA so it's warmer compared to some but just give me the spring/ summer. I want to be outside walking not on my treadmill lol

Hey guys!!! Day 9 ? I cannot believe we all made it!!! Those who already had surgery you all are killing it! Those with the date of the 27,28,29th!!! There is the light!!! I am beyond proud of myself and love this support group! I am very scared of this dumping phase and learning everything but I just can't wait to see the new me! This momma is tired and is long overdue for a new change for herself!

I'm glad all is good and I get it 100%. I'm nervous myself but apparently my surgery is about 30 mins they say. I'm just paranoid about all the stuff we are seeing after surgery that people are questioning.

Oh my gosh @MLC3409 why the 360 with the doctor? And I don't blame you with the food because this is very hard work (especially for myself with a husband and three kids). Did he find something wrong yesterday? Is he going to keep the surgery date? (I think you said yes) and they wouldn't be ordering meds without telling you. Keep on plugging along!! And remember the why and keep telling yourself that...Reach out whenever...my problem is I am also looking at stuff for the purees stage and so on lol because I want time to fly by. I been adding "bullion" to my broth as a treat.

Guys I don't know why but yesterday day 5 was pretty hard for me. Not the first three days lol...I just wanted to say for anyone who has the 28th we are almost there!! I am drinking a bit more broth in between but probably because I am bored and it's cold now in south GA ?. Love seeing everyone's posts!

Hi Alex. Allow yourself grace. Yes easier said then done but your mind and body are all adapting to this new rapid change. No one is perfect! And you made the most important decision you could and decided you wanted to take back your life. And are giving yourself a great gift of adding years to live. I don't know if this will help but remember one minute at a time or moment at a time. We are human and mistakes are okay and you realized that and moved on. MLC3409- well said and I feel you both one all of that year robbing. I am 35 and have a 7,4,and 1.5 yr old and feel this as well. Especially the yoyo weight loss effort I took with the 7 and 4 year old. Robber time from them when I just ended up back at my regular weight again. But now we move forward with a better choice to keep this weight loss and enjoy life more. We are all here for support. Keep in touch!

That's so much! He does so that won't be a problem too much but he is also ad military so very busy. But we plan to eat better as whole family so that least there is that. I know the meal planning will be a lot of the ball game with surgery for sure. Good luck to you! Keep in touch!
