We will all be fine. We are praying for you. We will see your happy recovering posts soon!!! Hang in there!!

I'm scared too but more scared I will fail like I always do.

Worm I know you won't fail! We are in this together.... I'm scard too, even though I'm on the losing size now...

It feels great but at the same time I always fail in whatever I did, so I am praying that we will succeed ! I know we will!

:D

Worm I think we share that fear. I worry I am not as strong as some of these other success stories on this board but I am hoping to benefit from all the great advice on here as well as leaning on new friends on this board. I don't know anyone who has had this surgery so this community is great. You seem determined and I know you will do awesome.

Thank I the closer I get the more try to stay away from google. How do People feel about telling people that they r having surgery. I have not told a ton of people but feel like it will be harder as I get closer and I hear people say they got a lot of negative reactions

Dotted, I'm trying to stay away from google too! It has certainly scared me. I've only told my close friends and family. I haven't really had any negative responses. Most just ask why and say I understand and support me after hearing my reasons. My friends and family are so protective that they just want to make sure this wasn't a just because idea. I've only had two reactions that made me know bring it up any further... A coworker was being nosey and noticed I was reading a book on my nook about WLS and decided to give me his unsolicited 2 cents about how if I'm thinking about it, don't because he didn't think I need it. (The nerve of some people.) Thank God for the support if my husband and you wonderful ladies!

Stephanie! I just saw we have the same dr. Dr McCloskey. How was she?? I'm at my preop now.

She was really nice. She checked me in before the surgery and after that I didn't see her at all. My surgery was on a Friday. I remember her saying that she will be in town still if she was needed but there was someone else there helping me out. I don't know if it would be different if your surgery is on a Monday.

      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.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      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!!
