I am totally new to this site and forum and Im not sure if I am posting stuff right or not! lol... Anyway, I just got my November 3rd surgery date a few days ago. I am sooooo excited that I am being blessed with this tool to help me on my weight loss journey...I have been trying to get this done now for almost 4 years...Now that its here its surreal to me! Im so scared something is going to happen to throw a wrench in the monkey works!! I pray every day that things will go smoothly! Im just SOOO excited! It will be a long journey for me since I have 200 lbs to lose... but so worth it, to be with my husband and kids and see my grandkids someday! I just feel really blessed! My pre-op diet starts a week before surgery....and what is this instinct to eat like a horse now that I know this is coming up..I really have to tell myself NO!
