Hi my name is Jennifer and I am new to this site. I was just given my surgery date of December 17. I am very nervous anxious and excited for new journey. Where any of you scared before surgery about all the change that was about to happen?

So am I! I'm starting to freak out. I'm going in on December 16

We were all scared. It's normal. But most of us are really glad we went through it. Poke around this Forum and you'll get a feel for the good, the bad, and even a little of the ugly. I'm so glad I got my sleeve four months and 80 pounds ago....

Welcome to the group.

80 lbs in four months. That's just seems unreal to me.

I know, me too! But I've been working it really hard, too. Making all the right choices and trying to walk 2 miles a day. Also, a big key is pre-planning for meals when you're not at home. I take a cooler with me so I have "fall-back food" in case nothing is available that I should eat. Haven't had a starch or any refined sugar since my surgery, and I feel great!

Good point about the c sections. I forgot how bad that hurt.
