I just got my surgery date and I want to make some August surgery friends so we can share our ups and downs in the weight loss journey.

And while you all,are in WTF-land, saying I know I asked for this, but when does the beaten, pummeled, and stabbed feel8ngs ever subside? Here ciomes little Frustr8 singing as she goes in and limping. as comes out, holding,onto her son's arm and flinching,with every step. Oh the first week of September will be very memorable in my and maybe everyone else's life.???

Sitting in the waiting room. It’s getting really real!

Just wanted to post some encouragement for everyone starting the preop diet. I’m on day 10 and I promise it does get better. I’m still hungry but I don’t have headaches and feel crappy. My surgery is in 5 days so that is motivation to stay strong! Good luck to everyone in surgery today!

I'm on Day # 7 and I'm having a Why Me attack? Once my anti-body antibodies build up will I move happily toward the goals again????

Congratulations!!! Just one more day to a new you. Try to take care of yourself today and don't stress too much. You are about to embark on a beautiful journey. I'm so excited for you.

@rosawise@me didn't your husband just have his surgery either the 6th or 7th, and you posted from his room? Now you have been given a August 21st surgery date yourself? Busy times for your family, maybe you'll be able to prop each other up as you heal!?&?

yes, it was planned for me to have it in July and he on August but insurance....change everything you planned ?

My mom came from Costa Rica to help us. But yes , I am spoiling him now!

And getting some good Costa Rican style cooking from your Mamacita, every mama wants to spoil her little gi4l and often food is a big part of it. I have dishes my mama made embeded in my heart along with memories and I suspect,it,is the same for you.
Good Wishes, ? prayers and hopeful thoughts for 5he future all being sent your way!!!

Good luck on your surgery! Mine's coming up next week too. I'm on day 7 of the diet and it's not as bad as it once was. When I see food I know tastes good, though, im like "damn, you look delicious, I miss you.." but I don't eat it. I know there's a light at the end of the tunnel. But I'd be lying if I said I wasn't dying for an espresso from Starbucks and a big, juicy steak right about now lol
