Just got my date! 12/15

Hi everyone

I have been reading some of the posts for a while, but this is my first time writing. I just got my date...12/15.... Now I am completely nervous...lol. Excited, anxious, scared, elated, hopeful.....just to name a few. I can't believe I am doing this....I am a mom of 3, my 2 boys are 4 1/2 and almost 3. They are both autistic, I also have a 16 year old step daughter who lives full time with me....I never do anything for myself, this will be the first time I am taking care of me. It's funny, I have been so confident about having this surgery, but now that I officially have a date I am starting to worry... Will I still be me after the surgery? It might sound dumb, but I don't know how to be a healthy person. I am not talking about eating healthy, I mean I don't know how to act, I usually like to be invisible, (most overweight people do) am I going to be that way after the weight comes off? Sorry for the strange post, I think I just needed to share my thoughts.

Hey Davis,

I am not going tonight, my kids are sick. I feel bad leaving them with my mom when they are sick. I will be there in January. Are you going? If you see the others send them my regards!

I went to see Maria today I am down 31 lbs! So excited! I am feeling pretty good. I registered for the 6 week class in the surgeons office, they said it is not given in Greenwich. Jan 26 at 1pm.

How are you feeling? 2 weeks already crazy right? I hope to talk to you soon!

Hi Michelle - There was no meeting this week - I think the next one is 1/6. That's awesome 31lbs. The class is 6wks long in the afternoons? Those are too early for me. I went today also I'm down 29lbs and can move on to next stage of nutrition. Keep up the good work.

The class is for us at 6 weeks. It is 1 day only. It is at 1pm on the 26th of January. I will check with Kate about it.

29lbs is awesome! You must feel great????

I also puréed food today, the chicken sausage that Kate recommended .....it was yummy!
