M going to start this everyone who is in November add your date and where your from . I'm crystal I'm nov 6 I'm in Toronto Canada

Hi all! I am on my way home today. My hubby is picking up my meds. It was tough to find the liquid kind but should be good now after a few calls. Glad to see other November peeps doing well and welcome to the newbies. Still a little gassy but after going potty I am starting to feel better. The walking helps with that. Started full liquids today. Did better than I expected. Few bites of tomato soup and a few bites of sf pudding. No nausea for me. Yay! Keep the updates coming everyone. Going to rest now but will check back later.

I was thinking the same thing today what will I wear when I am thing I have never been thin. I don't know how to dress a thin body! or what it the fat looks better than extra skin. Last minute jitters I am on the 16th

Spent the afternoon in the mall, because my 6yo was attending a Build A Bear birthday party. So I found a rest area and sat down to "People watch". I have read the articles with their statistics on obesity, but WOW I never really noticed how many people truly are obese! It was a huge eye opener to me. I am in some ways doing this surgery for the vanity of it, yes. However my biggest reason is because I have 3 little girls that will grow up in this world. They need something I never had, a healthy role model. I refuse to allow them to endure the relentless ridicule I did as a fat child. So I am going into this surgery calm, which for me is odd. I am a worry-wart, I worry about everything. Everything except this surgery. I really hope that means I have made the right decision and dear GOD I hope that means I will survive! *Still plan on writing letters to my babies and husband*

I am blessed that I was able to find this forum and learn, love and laugh with you all. There are no delusions here, I know it will hurt, I know it will suck for a while, I know it will be hard to get in the water and protein, I know I will have regrets, I know there will be emotional roller coasters. But I also know that I have the most wonderful husband and best friends in the world, I also know I have all of you to lean on for support and get answers from.

From the bottom of my heart, Thank you all for sharing this life changing road with me. Together we will overcome our weight and shine like the diamonds we are.

Hey guys and girls this is my first post on here.... I'm really nervous right now my doctor said my rny will probly be on november 27 but will let me know this coming week and I am to the point of psyching myself out but I really need this HELP!!!!!!!

I start my 2 day liquid diet tomorrow. Surgery is on Tuesday morning and I have to say, I'm feeling pretty zen about it. Just cleaning up the house today and tomorrow. I'm going to do every piece of laundry I can find so I don't have to worry about it. Post-op meds are ready. Mother and best friend are coming in tomorrow. So far everything is running smoothly. I feel so blessed. Your posts have helped a lot.

Now it's all about getting to the other side and recovery! Bring it!

Congrats

Thanks karma good luck to you to

congrats new bro's and sistas, and those who have crossed the line. I'm so thankful for all the experiences being shared and have been following everyone's progress closely.

I'm getting frustrated that my surgery is so far away and that I have to lose so much before it. Its driving me nuts. I'm halfway through my optifast diet, and have 3 weeks to go. Yes I have lost weight but I keep getting cravings. I have been fighting the cravings with frozen raspberries, but that isnt fish and chips, or pizza. I just know if I do eat the crap my body will rebel like it did last time I gave into cravings....

I'm so looking forward to being on the losing side. I have been cleaning and rearranging my house, buying ideal size clothing, and spoiling my fat cat rotten to keep myself active, but its annoying that I have to wait, and that if I slip up in the next 3 weeks it might not even happen. I'm getting really anxious (which for someone who already has an anxiety disorder is pretty rough).

Not only is all this going on, but the surgeon also said I needed a Mirina put in pre op so that I wouldnt have serious issues with iron deficiency. so organising that has been annoying too. I have to get an ultrasound on tuesday before insertion on Thursday... adding to the cost and the hassle.

This is all self funded (well funded by a loan) so the mounting costs plus the fact I have to take leave without pay from work is really starting to mount...

Just needed to vent.

Guess this is why my surgeon wants me to have therapy...
