I am so terrified, yet so excited. I started the 2 week liquid diet before my surgery on Monday. And I can safely say that I wouldn't probably be able to do it without my boyfriend and my friends cheering me on and being so supportive. Support for this huge step is such a necessity. I don't know how some people on here can do it without the support of their loved ones. I have joined Bariatricpal.com in order to be that support to others who need just a little bit extra motivation. I had Stage three Thyroid and Lymph-node cancer when I was 16. I played softball at Fresno State until my knees blew.. and than my whole body blew up. I miss being able to have fun and go out side and feel good during the day. The end result is so worth it you guys, that's what I keep telling myself.

I'm glad you have your boyfriend and friends to keep you strong! It's hard!

You're doing great! Welcome!

Welcome, best decision of my life. I am also blessed to have a very supportive husband (who has lost 40 lbs eating my low carb post op diet). Would definitely be harder if I didn't have that support!! Good Luck, hope to see some before and after pics real soon!!!!!! Its normal to be scared and I found the 2 week pre op diet difficult but it is so worth it, as Im sure you know. Focus on the excited part that's what I did. Was I size 22 jeans and last week bought my first pair of size 14. Going to the beach, baseball games, concerts, walking,in the park; first summer I've enjoyed in years!!!!!!!! Feel free to message me any time.
