Just got my date Jan. 6th!! Seems far away but it will be here soon!

Jan. 15 for me! I am excited but nervous!

It is coming up quick!! I am getting nervous for the pre-op diet!!!!!!!!!!!!

I need to try different protein drinks. That is definately one thing i am worried about. I am pretty picky when it comes to drinks!

Rebecca..I too have been trying different brands of protein drinks. Besides the ones I will get from my dr office the Premier brand chocolate in the ready to drink ( rtd) are pretty good..taste a bit like chocolate milk and they don't have that gross smell that a lot of the ones I have tried seem to have

Scheduled for January 9th with Ariel Ortiz!

I got my surgery date today!!! So excited!!! Dec. 8th! My surgeon told us that we can for sure expect to loose 100 lbs in 6 mths. That has blown my mind! I cant even begin to imagine how great I am going to feel

Hi everyone. I'm a newbie here. My surgery date is 1/5. It's fastly approaching. If anyone is having second thoughts or getting scared. Just go shopping for clothes like I did this past weekend. It will definitely give you a motivational boost

I had to go buy some sweaters for winter and it was so depressing!!

I absolutely refuse to buy new clothes until I am sleeved. I may purchase some cozy jammy pants, maybe a couple of tank tops to wear around the house. That is it. I will waste no more money on this fat body. A recent full body shot of myself is enough motivator for me. I had a baby Christmas Eve 2013. I literally gained weight breast feeding. I weigh as much as i did when i delivered him. At 39, I am done being fat, done with my back hurting..done with missing out on life. Well, that turned into a rant. Sorry. I guess I have some things I need to get off the old chest. LOL

I had no choice. I needed a blazer for a work meeting. I thought I looked decent until I went to the bathroom at the meeting and turned around and saw how big my a$$ is. I need a new coat but I'm just going towait it out til next year.

I just look so bad in clothes, I seriously quit caring what I look like. I am so upset with myself, I had lost 50 pounds, before having ankle surgery, developing a dvt from that, and then getting pregnant..unexpectedly, all within 3 months. I was starting to look good in my clothes again, not thin by any means, just better. Then, I was doing pretty good 3 weeks post partum, fitting in pre-preggo clothes. Then, Idk what happened Too much food, not enough movement. January can't get here fast enough. i love this forum.

I don't know if I'm just super busy right now but the days seem to be going faster and faster! Yay!

@@jenbaby75 I feel ya on the clothes. I feel like I look horrible and know that I am not healthy. I am also on a 'new-clothes strike' as well! No use in buying expensive clothes that I hopefully will never need again. I have an entire wardrobe from sizes 16-22 to work through and when I get to the point of size 16 being baggy, I will reward myself with a couple new outfits!

We will get through this. January is almost here (2 more months!) and all of us are already on the road to wellness and health

Back to work on my timemachine so I can speed things up a bit....

I am hoping for January too...

Good luck everyone!!
