Yesterday I met with my surgeon and scheduled my surgery. It's been almost 6 months since I've started this journey and now it finally feels real. I've been more anxious and more emotional in the past 12 hours than i thought I would be. I'm afraid I'm not making the right decision. I'm afraid I'm going to lose too much weight and I'll be too thin. Did everyone else have these thoughts and feelings? I guess I just need some reassurance that I'm doing the right thing and everything will be o.k.

I have bounced back and forth about surgery for a long time. I made up my mind a couple of months ago that I was letting fear rule me and from that point on I decided to go forward. I'm still nervous but I won't let it change my mind. My surgery is 5/22 when is yours?

Mine should be that week if not that day.

First of all...congratulations on your upcoming surgery!!! I think your feelings are normal when you receive that call or when the Dr gives you your surgery DATE. I know for me, I was super excited that I finally had a date. You then received a call from the hospital(pre registering) & she tells you about having to go to pre-op, and then BAMMMM, it's a few days away. Yikes, the nerves get running & running, a bit scary too. Actually, the morning of surgery it all became surreal. Coming out of recovery was tough because of the pain, but tolerable as you have a pain med pump. After getting out of the hospital, it didn't seem real, that I actually had my surgery, but the journey has been great so far. Sorry for rambling, but I wish you luck & pray all goes well for you!!!

I just received my surgery date this past week. I also have been questioning myself if I'm doing the right thing. I think it's normal to have this feeling. I also have been working on this through the insurance for 6 months so to finally be close to the finish line is crazy. Wish you the best up luck.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
