I know there is an October group here somewhere but I thought I would start this off by introducing ourselves!

I'm 25 years old and from British Columbia, Canada. My surgery is set for October 2. My pre op ensure shake diet starts September 2 but I have started a week early for a head start I am

A nurse by profession and engaged but no kids. With my history of PCOS kids will come after I drop the weight. Starting weight: 280lbs Current Weight: 275 and losing everyday!!

Hey all please send up some good thoughts and prayers.

My wife and are are in a temporary marriage separation after 22 years together. (I have hope this will pass and believe I am doing my part to reconcile) I am staying with a friend for now. I have no plans of delaying my Oct 8 th date even if I am not at home' date=' but will recover alone because my friend is gone a great deal of the time. Had preop this am at hospital, down 18 lbs and I just have to stick to this no carb diet 12 more days.

After surgery, I have two weeks off of work. I am an RN so I think I can make good post op decisions... My wife may or may not meet me the morning of surgery. Another friend can take me, but then he has to leave for work, of course, I could just drive myself perhaps. Thought I'd just tell my Doc the wife had to stay at home with the kids.

I have three daughters, miss them a lot.

Help me see this clearly.

Thanks

Hello everyone...Today was my first day of liquids! I did well and now is my count down time, 13 more days until the big day!! Oct. 11 can not come fast enough! Super excited again, (nerves have subsided for now)...

9 days for me. Pre op diet sucks.

Preparing: clean my house. Pick out 3 days of school clothes for my 4 kids at home, cook and freeze 3-5 dinners for the family. Do ALL the laundry (mountains of it)

Costume: i dunno about that... But I plan to be healthy and Svelt when I go watch my son get his graduate degree from the International Film School in Cuba, my hubby on my arm .my son's dad (who would always put me down because of my weight) and his skinny new wife will be there as well. Hehe

Just Do It!!!

How is everyone feeling?!? We are so close! My nerves are getting me and finding it hard to concentrate at work. I have so much to do before I am off for a couple of weeks. How did your pre-op go? I am pretty much used to mine at this moment. I have found the only think I am craving is MEAT!!!! However, I have had dreams of Apple Pie, which is weird because it is not my favorite thing, MM's and Pizza! I never thougth I could/would dream of food.

My pre-op diet is getting easier. I have a baby shower to go to after work, so that is going to be tough!!
