Hello I am new to the forums and I am having surgery in Mexico august 2107. Thought I should introduce myself.

Take one day at a time I'm in New Jersey so we get about the same weather do what you can every little difference counts

Hello,

My surgery date is 21st. Start liquid diet on 7th.

Doctor wanted me on Cpap before i start, started that 2 days ago.

Hi Everyone,

I will be having surgery 8/15- once I am cleared by my PCP. I am nervous and anxious about how I am going to cope with not being able to eat. I have a very supportive family. I am hoping that by reading these post it will help me cope and identify the stages of my food grief. As I am sure I will be having them. I have been over weight since I was about 13 years old never ever been thin. It seem like I went from an girls 8 to a woman's 12 overnight back then. I keep wondering if I will loose weight. I am not very active as I work behind a desk all day. I have to incorporate some kind of movements in my days. I know what I need to do I just need to get up and do it. I am not a cook and I hate to do it. I am not a good shopper I always feel super overwhelmed if I am making the right decisions. We also have young kids 11 & 5, not sure how the whole dinner scene is going to go. I am ready for my new adventure.

I'm right there with you. I've never been thin and I doubt this surgery will change that. But hopefully a healthy curvy instead of where I am now. I am not a cook and work behind a desk all day. Luckily I'm not having to feed anyone else so thats one less pressure. I started going to aquafit after work twice a week and really like it. Small steps. I've tried big changes all at once before and they didn't stick so hoping to do it right this time

Sounds Great baby steps

I am scheduled for surgery with Dr. Pompa at LIMARP on August 24th in Tijiauna. I am excited but nervous at the same time. Nice to have this forum to chat with others who are going through the same thing.

Hi all! I'm scheduled for August 10 in Houston. So close, yet it feels so far away.

I am so miserable at my current weight.
Watching my wife's transformation is very inspiring.
She has lost so many inches since she got her surgery six weeks ago.

Hello! We have the same surgery date! I had my original surgery in Dec. 2009 and I am having a revision from RNY to VSG and DS.
I do understand the struggle with the liquid stage. The first time I was on it for 3 weeks before surgery and this time my surgeon isn't requiring me to but I am because I think it is better for my body.

how are you doing my surgery is tomorrow and I am a bit anxious.

I have surgery tomorrow too! I'm a little anxious, but mostly excited (though I'm sure that will change by tomorrow morning). We'll be okay, and looking back a year from now we'll both be glad we made this choice.
