Anyone Else Have A Surgery Date In July? Excited And Terrified!

I have been going through all the requirements for months and last week I got the okay from my insurance company and received a surgery date from my surgeon. So many emotions and feelings. Excited, anxious, frightened, happy, sad and all while being confident in my decision. Im not afraid of the discomfort or hard work ahead, but terrified of the worst case scenario's they keep telling me. Im a mother of two small children (2 and 4) and am so worried. I know everyone feels this way, but I don't want to back out from fear. Anyone else feeling like that or having surgery in July like me??? Would love to have some peeps to talk with along the way....

Congrats!!!!!! What's your total weight loss? I'm a ways from onederland but lost 50 so far :-)

My surgery date was 7/24 so I am coming up on 3 months. At this point I am down 47 lbs with at least 2 very difficult stalls

I feel ya. Been there myself. Hoping to hit "onderland" this week.

I was sleeved july 18 I am down 45lbs. I still can't.eat much so i thought i would have lost more weight. Eating is not fun anymore in a way it kind of hurts.

You and I was sleeved the same day & I am down 45 lbs. I also stalled for three weeks. I am a slow loser maybe if I would stay away from soft foods. My bday is next Thursday and I would love to be at 200. I was 205 last week and today I went up 2 lbs. So disappointed.

I am having the same issue. I thought I would have lost alot more by now- sleeved July 17. But I'll take my 50!! Still painful to eat... not in my stomach, but in the back of my throat, food just doesn't want to go down. I had it checked thinking I had some kind of obstruction but after a CTScan, sonogram and a sadistic doctor ramming a metal rod up my nose & down my throat (worst pain EVER), they couldn't find anything. Still having trouble drinking too- water & milk both make me nauseous now- used to LOVE them. About the only thing I'm able to tolerate well, and have become addicted to, is shaved sno-cone style ice. I crave it like nothing I've ever craved before. I can think of worse things to crave!! :)

Sleeved July 11th, down 43 pounds.

Total weight loss 60 pounds so far

:-)

And dont worry you will get there :-)

I meet my goal for my bday and I also weighed the day after and I hit onederland.....51 lbs gone

My three month update

Still tired of the stalls..

I have lost 51 lbs since surgery and 68 lbs from a week before surgery.

I started this process on November 9 last year and have lost 101 lbs since
