Hi everyone!

Just came back from doctor's office and have a October 28th surgery date for Gastric Bypass. This is it, the high diving platform. Knees are trembling.

Anyone else in October? Let's keep in touch as we support each other. We have the pre-op diet and getting mentally ready for this.

LET'S DO IT!

I am having RNY as well on Oct 28th.

You'll make it. You made it this far to a decision of a lifetime. Nothing will stop us now!

Hi Amy,

I have been having lots of favorite meals but in small amounts. I don't want to mess up my weight. I made a list of favorites and weave them into family meals.

Favorite: pie, ice cream, pizza, cheesecake, steak, etc. I didn't blow out my diet at all.

Amy, the message above was for laykee

Hi Sherib4health, welcome to our little group. October is a much better month. After all how could you not want to celebrate October Fest as the beginning of a new you, complete with yearly celebrations.

Thank you Beni! This is my most favorite time of year. Good time for a fresh new start like you said!

Ok , I'm not going to lie , I'm starting to get scared ! I keep thinking what if ? Oh well not backing down now !! Tomarrow is my day ! Surgery sched for 7 am ❤️

I know Amylynns, I'm not actually counting Thursday since I have to go in that day so 1 whole day left! I'm so excited and nervous at the same time!

Good Luck Karen Allen, I'm right behind you girl!

You'll do great Karen!! Everything will go wonderful! You're the first in our little group to go in for surgery, right? Can't wait to hear how it goes. Take good care of yourself!

I will post pics in the morning and try to keep everyone updated on what to expect

Yes please Karen. We are all cheering for you! Go them babe!

I seriously was thinking about canceling or rescheduling. The closer the day looms the more anxious I become.

I just got off work and I'm pampering myself with a pedi ! Can't go to surgery with ugly feet ????????????????

Omg you said the magic trigger word that literally fills my mouth with drool: pie.

Pie is a definite happy place for me, and I didn't get to "say goodbye."

And then I snap back and scold myself "What a silly thing to obsess about when this amazing opportunity is on the horizon. It's not like you'll never have pie again, relax."

Yep, Karen Allen is the trailblazer, she goes first (lol's I have scheduled my pedi as well. The hardest decision - what color to go with?)

Next we have AuriP on the 2nd

Then superbariatricbabe on the 6th

Then a crowd on the 7th, (6 by my count)

I actually made a chart. I was getting so confused. I know, I'm special that way.

If I forgot anyone please let me know!

Karen Allen, what color did you go with for your pedi?

You special beni ! We should all try to find a mutual place to meet next October ! we can call it THE OCTOBERS LOSERS CLUB
