33 days and counting!!!! Excited beyond words, dreading starting the liquid diet in 2 weeks. Who else is looking to change their lives in February?????

I haven't told my husband yet that I got date. Im but sure what his reaction will be?

Good luck!!!! Is he opposed to any surgery or just concerned for you?? That would have to be tough :/

Me too!

That makes 3 of us on the 11th! We'll definitely have to keep in touch and whine together, I mean support each other!

I will have to postpone it for awhile. My hubby travels for work and I was gonna tag along. He goes again in October do I will go then.

He not opposed but he thinks I can do it on my own. Three years ago I lost 50 pounds but here I am again plus ten or so pounds. He is just concerned .

Best Valentines Day gift EVER!!!!!!

Yes it will be! Pre-op Feb 5, surgeon again Feb 8th! Don't know of any pre-op diet yet, but assuming that my BMI is just at 35.2 they may not have me do it.

Me too!

I'm the 11th as well!

The preop diet my doc has the patients go on is to shrink the liver to protect it during surgery. Everyone has to do it in his practice.

Yup, mine too....and I think he likes to torture people :/

I get my pre-op diet on the 15th, 1 month before surgery. I'm sure it won't be the whole month

I don't have a preop. I just had to lose 20 pounds and my doctor is ok with that.

^{My surery is on Valentine's Day. Will be the best present to myself, should be a sign to learn to love myself too! I am sure others can relate. I am anxious but really excited to start a new way of looking at food.}

I told me husband last night that kaiser called and gave me a surgery date. I told him it was important for him go support me and it would be hard for me to do it alone. He asked that I try for one more year to lose weight on my own. He then told me I don't need it and he loves me the way I am. I told him I have arthritis in my back and ankles, pre diabetic, sleep apnea and jst tired all the time.

We left it at that and I wouldn't say he gave me the silent treatment but it was yes and no answers for the remainder of the evening.

About 3 in the morning I woke up and I could tell he was awake. He then asks me ..... How long after the surgery am I gonna leave him. Really???? Why does he always have to make it about him????
