Hi y'all! Well, I started my liquid diet today. I technically don't have to start it until Thursday but I figured all the heck I put my poor liver through it would need some extra shrinkage time! Giving up my diet Dr. Peppers are gonna be the hardest thing for me but I can do it (she said not so convincingly). My surgery date is April 29th and I am so ready....nervous, anxious but so excited! I so look forward to becoming a healthier person. I have a new granddaughter and she's my inspiration to lose this darn weight so I can keep up with her! It's so great having all of y'all in this with me cause no one understands like someone that's either gone through this or is going through this.

Becky,

Nervous and anxious are the number 1 feelings as you go into this. Congratulations on your new granddaughter. You will definitely feel your energy level rise as you start to lose. Forget about that Dr. Pepper and start getting use to drinking non-calorie drinks. Gatorade has become my favorite one. Good luck with your surgery.

Hi Becky,

Who is doing your surgery? What insurance are you on?

Hi Becky - Congratulations on getting started early! You get a big LBT hug for that...

nervous, anxious but so excited

This is so normal! But just remember that this transformation will be a little longer then other WLS's.

Good luck & God bless!

Never to busy for a big LBT hug. Squeezzzzzzzzzzes to you!

Congrats Becky - Yep You are in the right place for support and a caring bunch..

Best wishes on your new Journey & your new Grandbaby.

Finding this site was a God send! Just having support like this is tremendous! My surgery is being done at Richardson Surgical Center on April 29 by Dr. Jayaseelan or Dr. J as his patients call him. I've heard so many wonderful things about him. Anyone else use him that you know of?

Way to go Becky! It sounds like you are definately doing things right. A new Grand Child will definately wake you up! lol Good Luck!
