Good luck everyone! My surgery is also tomorrow but I don't have to be at the hospital until 11:30. Just enjoyed a crystal light pineapple coconut Water (virgin pina colada). I'm not nervous - this will be my new beginning

Mine is tomorrow, as well. Have been trying not to panic for most of the day. I keep telling myself that everything will be ok and that I'm on my way to feeling better.

Good luck to everyone with a surgery date tomorrow! Let's check back in with each other when we can!

Well, surgery is scheduled for tomorrow morning at 8 am and I am starting to freak out! I am so nervous for the surgery itself and how horrible I'm going to feel afterwards. I keep telling myself I made this decision awhile ago and want to get healthy. I'm just so nervous and anxious. Any words of wisdom out there?! Prayers would be so appreciated

Wow - so many of you having surgery tomorrow - good luck to you all!

I am awaiting insurance approval, and I am already scared and nervous because I know I am a big baby, but I will tell you what a dear friend told me that had the surgery: It will be tough in the beginning, but what is [insert time period here] in comparison to the rest of your life?!

At one of my pre-op meetings, the office coordinator suggesting writing a letter to yourself. I scoffed at the idea at first, but I do see genuine value in it. They said A LOT of people, regardless of how successful you might be post-op have some regret at some point - maybe even to think 'Did I NEED surgery? Could I have done this on my own?' So the suggestion was to write yourself a letter (mine is more so a list of bullet points) of WHY you want the surgery, how you feel, how did you come to this conclusion, etc. I think it will be easy to forgot just how hard certain aspects of our lives are overweight once we are on the other side. Maybe this will help some of you to make the minutes tick by a little faster and give you something to look back on in a year!

My surgery date is set for tomorrow 10/27/16 at 7:00 a.m. I'm very nervous as well, but trying to not think about it. I have anxiety disorder/panic attacks, and have had them for over 10 years now.

The first 3 days were hard for me but then I turned a corner, didn't look back and enjoyed each phase. I am 6 weeks out down 31 lbs and doing great. Enjoy the ride and don't rush through each phase of this journey. Just sip your Water and start your Protein when told and walk, walk, walk. Good luck and prayers for all of you.

I had the surgery on 10/26. The surgery went well. Not gonna lie, the first day was a little rough. I'm home now and feeling better. Only issues I'm having is with nausea. I'm just trying to make sure I don't get dehydrated. Thank you all again for your prayers and well wishes. They are much appreciated

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
