I'm October 1st as well. I will be having my surgery at the Bariatric Pal Hosp in Mexico. We can all be buddies! I agree, the holidays will be interesting this year! I'm trying to line up my stuff to pack as I fly down on 9/30. Can we say EXCITED?

I am going to BariatricPal MX on the first also!

Hi all, Anyone have an October 2019 surgery date? Mine is 10/28/19 (my surgeon is away for 2 weeks, so I'm at the end of the month). Oh, the holidays are going to be so weird this year (my birthday too, which is 11/19).

I have a tentative date of October 15/19. I'm getting so excited! I've lost 35 lbs on my own already. I'm so ready to move forward on my journey to health and fitness! [emoji4]

Lizzziee -

I'm looking forward to seeing you there! I will be flying in on the 30th, and am scheduled for the 1st. So, we can walk the halls, terrorizing the staff together. How exciting. You nervous yet? I'm just flat excited. I'm borderline giddy!

How is everyone doing on the liquid diet? I am having bad side affects, nausea and very bad headaches. 😞

[ypease 177]

I started mine on the 24th (Tuesday). I had a little bit of a headache for a few hours later on in the afternoon. I think that's because 1. No solid food, not even my AM snack with my meds & 2. first really caffeine free day.

I had diarrhea Wednesday AM and again this morning. Hope it doesn't surprise me on Monday. That when I fly to San Diego. From the Seattle area it's only approximately 2 hrs. But, with my luck, it would hit while I have to have my seatbelt on and can't get up.

I want to give a shout out to my husband. My husband, Chris is wonderful. He is my "world best husband". You know there is not just 1 person in all the world for you. How could there be? Just person 1 out of literally billions! Statistically, even God would agree with me on this one. But, when you finally find 1 of those "right" people, you can't be thankful enough. I kissed and married a lot of frogs before I met my Toad! And I thank God, everyday. The "Toad" reference is a private joke we have. He's my Toad and I'm his MSW (My Secret Weapon).

Chris has been just wonderful through the last few months. Hell, 22 years, and I hank him for that all of the time. I see all the entries where spouses or partners are real Jack Asses before and/or after wls. Chis has been supportive. He hasn't changed his diet to accommodate mine. However, I see he has been fixing his food, and eating without saying a word. I don't even know what he is up to! Chris even rinses his plate and sticks it into the dishwasher without my knowledge. He has completely stopped buying his treats. He says he needs to lose weight also, so he doesn't need them, and it would be cruel to eat treats in front of me. He has taken interest in my new food selections and helps me with taste testing. He likes really sweet and he likes salty. I don't like either. So, quite often my test subjects get a thumbs down from him..

In essence, I just want to thank all of the supportive friends and family members of all of you who are having wls. For those of you now living with a "warted frog", don't worry. Be brave and be strong. Don't be afraid to be alone if that's what it comes to. You know why? When all is said and done...there's a "Toad" out there. Just wait, be patient, you will meet each other. You know how I know? Because after years of pond scum and frogs, my "Toad" and I met 22 years ago. Ribit, Ribit!

Love your shout out to your hubby. I am luck too and won the husband lottery. My husband is so supportive, even though I know he has his concerns about this. I just read on the FB forum about a woman complaining she went back to the doctor for her 2 week follow up post surgery and only lost 4 lbs. She came home sad and told her husband he said "haha, i've been adding butter and sugar to your broth" What??!!
