Hi everyone!!!! :D I just wanted to come by and introduce myself. I have been a lurker for quite sometime. I have been considering surgery for some years. Summer 2012 I finally started the process. I have completed all steps and my surgery is scheduled for April 8, 2013. My 42nd birthday is April 2. I am a mixed bags of emotions which I have read on here is very normal. It feels so overwhelming and I am trying to make sure I take care of everything before surgery. I will be hanging around reading here for encouragement and support. I will figure out how to add a tracker and before picture so I can come back and keep notes on my progress. I look forward to "meeting" everyone.

Welcome lady Morgan!

And congratulations on you date! I'm 46 so a bit older than you. Though it was scary going into it..I'm glad that I'm not wasting any more of the life that I have left being extremely unhealthy and not able to participate in a lot of life's activities

I wish I had started the process back in 2005 when I first started researching but then they weren't doing the sleeve that much so maybe it was worth the wait because I really never wanted a bypass. I am playing around with getting my profile set up here. I have a pic on my phone I need to upload. Usually I hide from cameras but when I knew things were progressing I had my husband take a full body pic of me one day when I felt cute. I will probably take a few today since it is nice here in NC. I have watched so many video journeys on YouTube so I am thinking about doing some myself for my own therapy..lol.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
