Ready_For_Me_13

Thanks guys! I think I've got all the things out of my system that I thought I would crave during the two weeks of liquid only and I'm pre planning all the ways I can keep myself busy so that I don't have time to even worry about food. I'll keep you guys updated on my success. I'm down to less than a week before it's time to get it in!

I can't wait to get mine over with. I'm nervous about anesthesia! I go on 1/2/15.

My surgery is 1/12/15. I've been considering some type of surgical help for quite some time and finally decided that VSG is best for me. I started seriously considering it in July and made outreach to my physician who got me started on the right path in August. I got my approval on Wednesday last week and now I'm a nervous wreck trying to physically and mentally prepare for an invasive procedure. I'm looking forward to it though and look forward to getting much support and giving support to others. Best wishes on your surgery. Be sure to post how things turn out for you!

I pray for a speedy recovery and best wishes to you. I'm going in next month and have three children and have been so nervous and a mixture of emotions. Try to relax and know you are doing this so you can be around for them. Positive thoughts and positive outcomes! Big Hugs!

Ahhh...good point. I need to go check out those posts. I swear I'm a nervous ball of energy thanks to excitement and just worriation! @sunflowerchild

Thanks @wannaBthinsoon. I was thinking of buying the unflavored one because she said it could be added to oatmeal and other dishes without little interference of taste.

@@shizwiz thanks. We both thought it would be beneficial to do it together, that we we aren't tempting each other and can truly support our new lifestyle. I'm excited and nervous at the same time, but looking forward to us doing this together and becoming healthier for the next lifetime together! I'll make sure to give updates on this site for the both of us. You are right, you may be able to encourage your boyfriend with your changes and once he sees how "fly and fine" you are getting he may be motivated a little more!

I'm super excited and nervous right now. I'm trying my best to learn new eating habits before the time gets here, telling myself to slow down when eating, drinking slowly, making sure I'm exercising and all the good stuff that will be part of my life from here on out. My husband will be going after me in March, so we are looking forward to major changes for 2015. If anyone has already had their procedure and has useful advice, please feel free to dish! Best wishes to all the new sleevers!

thank you for all the words of wisdom @proudgrammy. I will definitely use them!

Oh...I'm going a few days before you. I'm going on 1/12/15, just got my date confirmed today. I'm excited, nervous, and a bundle of emotions today. Best wishes with your surgery!

I'm excited and nervous at the same time, but I too am starting off the year with changes! I'm scheduled for 1/12/15 and looking forward to surgery and recovery. I'm having my procedure in St Petersburg, FL. I won't start my two week liquid diet until 12/28, but I'm already changing up my eating habits to mentally prepare for all the changes I will be going through. I'm just hoping I can survive two weeks of it without my family wanting to kill me from being moody! YIKES! I hope we can all keep up with each other and encourage each other when it starts to get tough along the way! Shundra

Hello...I am new to this site and am extremely interested in making a change in my life regarding my weight. I know that I need to make changes and have tried diets, weight loss plans, excercise, etc and have not seen a permanent reduction in weight. I have high blood pressure and am sure that I'm pre-diabetic. I keep up with my physicials and have been advised I am overweight. I had a baby one year ago and this is the largest I have ever been weighing 255 lbs. Any suggestions or insprirations you can share will be apprecitated as I am at my wits end and want to do something about this. Shunny1
