Hi, my surgery date is May 5th. I can't wait, because this two week diet is a real challange for me. I'm just at the cutoff for the surgery, and a lot of people are telling me I should't do the surgery. I know, and my family knows my life long struggles. I have their support, so I'll be ok. I hope to connect with some people with the same issues that I have. I live in south Florida, surrounded by beautiful, perfect bodies. I'm hispanic, so eating around my extended family is going to be "fun". I'm optimistic so WATCHOUT!:crying:

I am very jealous of you. I am at the cut off also and I have struggled with this most of my life a nd I desperately want the surgery but my husband is pretty much refusing that I get it and I am so disappointed. He really does not understand this struggle. He has no idea what it is like. I would like his suppoert but it is really hard to do it wiht no suppoert. I really wish you all the best and I wish I was in your shoes. Best wishes to you!!!!Keep us posted on your progress!!!!

Vucarre, thanks for the support. I hope you do get the surgery someday. Maybe you should take your husband with you to a seminar or to your doctor. My husband didn't want me to have any more surgeries, I've had a few for health reasons. But, hey it's my body. I need to feel good about myself and my famous saying is "If Mommy's not happy, no one's happy". My family get's it!

oh yeah how do you get the ticker? I tried everything!
