I'm having my surgery Oct 5th my per op class is Sept 23rd. I'm getting super excited only thing that worries me is missing classes I just enrolled into two classes and they start the 14th I'll be missing 3 classes plus a whole week of surgery. Hoping my teachers will be okay and let me work it out so I don't fall behind or get knocked for missing class.

I'm feeling the same way you all are & went to my GP today & got a low dose anxiety meds!! Sure hope it helps. Have any of you found a good chap stick to use? @ edie091371, thanks for the info of the Nivea cream! I'm going to need all the help I can get !! The time is going by so fast!!! 2 weeks from this coming Thurs. & I will be on my way to a slimmer me!!! Yea!!! I bought a few new things on sale in smaller sizes to have something to look forward to!! October will be here before we know it!!!

@60&goin4it..... I bought Cake Batter chap stick today!!!! It made me feel good to know I was going to be putting something sweet on my lips if not on my mouth!!! I also bought some non flavored nutrogena lip balm just in case I am taste and smell sensitive after surgery! I think i am going to ask for something for anxiety right before surgery!! I have not bought any smaller clothes...I have some things I had outgrown so my plan is to use those for a while.

Ohhh and guys I bought dome Biotine Dry mouth spray today too that I heard can be a life saver after surgery!

October 5. I can't stop reading and watching YouTube. Makes me crazy!!

I'm Oct 5th also I have Facebook lesstolove Jenae and youtube channel lesstoloveawholenewnaenae think you find it by just typing in lesstolove

I think I have watched over 100 hrs of youtube videos of others journey iv been on my journey since March I was about 220-230 in Nov of 2014 and I'm only 5 feet short and I was at my highest weight that I actually weighed in might have been more but in my life I have had times that I didn't even want to see a scale it was like the devil lol now I weigh my self too much lol I got down to 183lbs at my last visit to the surgeon right now I am between 183-188lbs keep going up and down. I am not scared at all just alot of things I was not really thinking about are now on my mind and I'm just asking my self have I prepared enough is my mind ready I feel like I'm so ready but my nerves are getting to me as time goes on and I don't tell my fiance because he really would rather me go in for surgery he is supportive but it's major surgery so he just worries. So of course I don't want to tell him my fears or worries lol.. I'm just excited for the future

My surgery is scheduled for 10/8 in Houston… Love reading all your comments, so great to read I am not alone in my fears AND excitement!

@edie091371… I feel like you are taking all the words out of my mouth, lol… so much of what you say is in sync with my own emotions over this major event in my life… It is so comforting to hear It also must be because you are a Texas girl, as well!! Where in Houston will you have your surgery?

Irishaggie.. I am having my surgery at Herman Memorial Southeast on Beamer and Astoria with Dr. Ken Hollis October 8th! Thank you so much for the comments. I bounce back in forth in my feelings. I know for the most part I am so excited but I would be lying if I said I wasn't scared too. The needles are my greatest fear but I hate to feel bad so worried about how I am going to feel for the days immediately following surgery. But then I get a grip and remind myself how bad this weight has been making me feel for years!! Girl, our whole lives are about to change!!! I tease the girls at work that I am so full of myself now, Lord help them when I am skinny!! I am 16 days and counting! 13 for you! If you need anything just hollar. I think i am going to get a pedi and a massage the day before mine. If you live anywhere near Pearland, call our Spa, Luxe Salon and Spa, and I will personally give you a Pedicure at a great discount to help relax you!! Where is your surgery going to be at? You can also add me on facebook if you would like. Edie Smith Steer (edie091371@yahoo.com ).
