I’m almost a week away from surgery! Extremely ready and excited! I’m 26 years old and I’m just beyond happy to start this new journey.

I guess what brought me here is this: last night laying in bed I asked my boyfriend if he had faith in me through this process. After a LONG pause he basically said “maybe”. He’s apologized this morning but that doesn’t take away from the fact that the closest person to me doesn’t really think I’m going to do a great job.

Just looking at all of your positive thoughts has helped me stop being upset; so thank you! I hope it works out for me as it did for everyone on the posts I’ve been reading!!

I don’t start til Monday! But just bought all my things for it! How’s it going for you?

im on a two week preop diet.. it starving. i can onlyeat the packaged powders..soups n cereals .. everything is protein.. ughhh so hungry

Hi there, Im October 5th, liquid diet starts on Tuesday =( Wish I had food to eat during pre op but no chance of that. I think everyone has some doubts if they will fail or not, I know I do. Hubby is supportive in anything I do and hes watching me on this journey as he might get it done to if its successful...which it will be for ALL of us =) Keep thinking good thoughts we are here with you too =)

my daughter n husband support me.. but the hunger pains hurt.. the headaches rhat i get are so bad.. i work night shift so cant sleep off the pain.. cant wait ro b off so i can have normal routine for a couple days.. the protein isnt very filling does the job for a couple hours thats it..cant wait for sx

Good luck with your surgery. Use your boyfriend’s doubt and show him you can and will. It definitely isn’t an easy journey but so worth it.

It's great to have the support of your loved ones and others close to you but ultimately it's up to you to be successful. As long as you are confident and willing to make the sacrifices needed than that's what really counts. Don't let how others feel about YOUR journey affect your view on things. Lean on them for support but don't rely on it. At times this is not an enjoyable process but go into it knowing and expecting that so when the times come you've already mentally gotten past it. Even we're just words on a computer screen you'll have tons of support from everyone here. Good luck to ALL of you on your upcoming dates. YOU ALL GOT THIS!!!!

Also having surgery on Oct 2nd!
