Its coming up quick! Going to pre op class this Wednesday.

Yes shopping helps I cant believe its almost here!! Im not backing either but im anxious. That whole week im gonna be a nervous wreck!

Ok I was ecstatic yesterday that I had my date. But today reality is setting in. I cant believe I am doing this. Dont get me wrong im not backing out and I am excited but its kind of scary.

Maybe I should window shop for clothes and a bathing suit.

I am thinking the exact same thing.

I looked around on pinterest at skinny cloths and fashions and youre right it does def help.

There was a thread on visual rewards and she had two glass containers. One w marbles. One marble for every pound she loses. When she loses a pound she will put that amount of marbles in the empty jar. The picture was pretty. It kind of motivated me. I think im gonna do it!

What a wonderful idea ill have to try that!!

Here is the link to the visual thread. one person put pictures up. there were alot of good ideas on the visual rewards. Someone was making a necklace with all of their beads. im def doing that

March 19th for me too! Very excited! Preop diet started today because I finally got approval yesterday! Would love to stay connected to this group! Have screaming headache from caffeine withdrawal.

I am having withdrawals from everything I want food lol

March 19th. Dr Jesus Ortiz at Mi Hospital

Good Luck DeeJack!

Thanks jenah. I'm nervous but excited

Good luck March 19th sleevers! This was my lucky day 1 year ago and I have been one lucky lady. Starting weight was 250, day of surgery 237, and my current weight is 163. I have had 0 complications. I would say the only little problem I had was my hair did fall out a little between months 6-9 but it was my fault b/c protein shakes get OLD but happy to tell you it stopped and I did not go bald:-) All in all this was the best decision of my life! I would do it over again in a heartbeat! Good luck and don't be nervous! It's really not a bad recovery! I took a week off from work but could of gone back in like 3 days! I have a cushy office job though... Anyways I hope this helps ease some of your anxiety:-)

Thanks for the positive post! I hope all of us 19th'rs have the same experience. I am on day 7 of the preop diet now and while I know that I really am not truly hungry (I got over that on day 4) I really want some Mexican cheese dip and chips. I'm now in the head hunger battle. 12lbs down so far on this pre op is a nice weapon to have in the battle though...

I know what you mean ueverwonderwhy I want to eat everything hahaha also I do not recommend going to Sams while on preop diet lol

March 19th is the big day ''yay"...pre-op appt tomorrow....Wow this is really going to happen....feeling so blessed.
