I so agree. I've already lost 13lbs since My first bariatric dr appt on 11/4. My liquid diet starts December 2. A lot thought man I'd wait till after the holidays. They have no idea once you're ready you're Ready!!!!!

Last comment was for Fighttownin, until I read primal lol it fits both and Primal same thing I'm doing same kinda thing instead of going crazy to favorite places I'm trying to transition into my new world!!!!

Absolutely and I'm ready!!!!

Getting sleeved in Jan 2015. Would love to have some friends to talk to. 90% excited and 10% nervous. Having surgery in Mexico because I was quoted $21,000 in IL.

Welcome to our group do you have a date yet? Do you have to travel back and forth for all your presurgery preps? How will you stay in Mexico.

We all are just WEEKS away! Keep strong we have come so far and almost there! I think with so many holidays being celebrated this time of year it will be harder for our group but...keep checking in we are all hear for each other! And we will celebrate US!!! ????

Just a great test of our strength and determination. I had so many try and tell me to wait because of holidays. I decided it's a forever change and I didn't want to make any excuses so I took the first of every appointment available.

When I got my date I never thought about the holiday. Now I think what a gift I am giving myself. I like to refer to my surgery date as my 2nd Chance Birthday! ????

Hello everyone. My surgery date is January 21, 2015. Can't wait to start this process.

Well mine a bit different I got surgery date 2 days after my Birthday so that was my birthday???? now my surgery is my best and early ????CHRISTmas ????
