I have a date!!! ?

I'm ready to throw useless New Year's Resolutions out the window and actually DO something to better my life.

Who will be joining me in starting the new year out right???

It is but it also makes me nervous. They gave me a choice between doing at this hospital outpatient or doing it at the bigger hospital and staying overnight but I would have had to wait until March so I chose outpatient.

I can see why that would make you nervous, but that's good they want to see you in the office the next day. They should be able to catch any issues you're having right away.

I totally get not wanting to wait until March. It's the reason I'm going to Mexico in January instead of jumping through a bunch of hoops and doing six months of dieting and appointments in the hopes insurance might actually approve the surgery. Nope. I've been waiting for most of my life to finally do something for ME that will better my emotional and physical health. I'm not waiting any longer.

Jan 9! Starting pre-Sx diet today.

Good luck! I’m a week in and am miserable to be honest. I know it will be worth it though.

I’m scheduled for January 21st. Anxious as hell

Woo hoo! I start my pre-op diet on Jan 1st and my surgery date is Jan 30th. What kind of diet does your doctor have you on?

I'm starting to get nervous, too. But I'm also really excited to get on the other side of it.

Only natural, but we will all be fine. ?like many things in life, Thinking/stressing/worrying about it is much worse than the actual doing of it.

I feel moments of concern, but trying to focus on the positives and how great being in control is going to be!

@melissa i am on a low fat high protein (definition-eat nothing) for two weeks. I am struggling and its only day 4.

My surgery is set for 01/14!! I’m so excited.

you got this!! Mine starts on 12/31! I like the core power shakes but I also make my own smoothies & ninja creamy bowls to help. I’ve been experimenting with different things this while going through this process.

My date is January 22nd. I’m both excited and nervous. I will learn tomorrow what I need to do the weeks prior to surgery!
