That's great!!! What was the hardest part of everything so fat?

Anticipation!!. Waiting for the day.....waiting for the surgery to be over.......waiting to go home.........waiting to drink more than a few sips......waiting to see the scale drop......wanting to eat (chew)........getting past stalls.

It's always seems agonizing waiting to get to something and once there, we are anxious to get to the next stage.

Relax. You'll be there in a flash and before long it will all seem very normal and routine.

My surgery was Jan 9th and I've lost 54 pounds so far. The only issue is no matter how prepared you are for stalls, they still get to you. The stalls will help to keep you grounded that this is going to be a long hard effort and not a walk in the park. As far as surgery issues. None so far.

I doubt there is anything anyone can verbally tell you that will alleviate all of your anxiety or nerves. This is a serious procedure that you have no experience with and no matter how much comforting, it's natural to experience fear of the unknown. So, all I can offer is my experience to pass on.......which is to say.....Relax. Read as much as you can to better understand the before and after and your anxiety will subside as you gain more knowledge of what to expect. You'll do fine.

Thank you! Relaxing is something I haven't tries yet! I'm typically a person who has all the facts and knows what to expect. With this situation the best thing I can do is experience it first hand and go from there. Thanks for your imput!
