Thank all of you, you really gave me the strength I needed today. I know you guys are all right, I am dropping my 24 hour fitness membership tomorrow, I bought walking wait for my arms and legs, and I have my partner to be a hand in my exercise regiment. sometimes I really do forget how far I have really come, and it's so true everyday is now I can start again anytime I want to even in the middle of the day! Lol I'll just keep myself on track the best way I can, you guys really helped me, I can't believe I forgot how are being able to have support like this means to me. today I went to a support group in my area, got my eating on track, and ask for the help I really needed for my partner. it really means a lot to me that you helped me up when I really needed it I was in a bad place yesterday about this all. Thanks so much <3 If you can, add me on fitnesspal! My username is Kizuh

I got me surgery september 19th 2011, it was all a nightmare that turned out to be a dream, just as I knew it would. _________________background________ I was scheduled to have surgery with doctor Almanza. I sent over all the necessary paperwork on my bleeding disorder, they said everything was just fine, I paid the deposit and I was on my way.. when I got there I was told that they would need an extra $3,000 for blood just in case, it was great to know that they wanted to be prepared, but it wasn't anything I was thinking would happened, I was never given any heads up, and I didn't have the money. the trip was wasted and I lost my deposit and all the money it took to get me my father and my godfather down there, and I won't even get into how much emotional energy it took to get me through it. Anyway, I got a nother doctor who is willing to do my surgery and who was in a hospital and imagine I was able to speak with him not just someone who was a go between. Dr. Aceves was amazing, everything was luxurious, clean, the nurses spoke perfect English, I couldn't have asked for a better surgeon or surgery site. I guess everything really does happen for a reason. that's all just the background I guess now my issue is I feel like I should be much more grateful to have this opportunity or something? I know I'm not eating the way I should and I'm not exercising in the amount that I should be either.. my parents helped me to pay for my surgery, I wouldn't be able to afford it. wow this post is all over the place ill shorten it all up _____________issue_____________ I feel like I don't have enough money to eat properly, for some reason I can't get it together to take my Vitamins everyday and so I just haven't been, I have a 24 hour fitness membership that I struggle to keep up with paying for, yet I never go! haven't been to a doctor's appointment since about a month after my surgery and I am over 7 months out, I'm scared to go to the support group and can't figure out why maybe because I'm not doing what I'm supposed to be? I have been avoiding all my online forms I use to go on because I know ive been given an opportunity tons of people are still kicking and screaming for and I know they all deserve it and would treat their tool far better than me. not really sure what to do, a really what kind of support I'm even asking for.. All I know is I could use some help, some sort of something tbat will help me get on the right track again. __________stats_________ Surgery : september 19th 2011 Weight loss since surgery : 76lbs Total weight loss : 91lbs

I can't wait! I hope to see you there PinkBetty!

Thanks guys

I was looking on here about a week ago, I saw that there was a chart from someone for Kaiser's Pre Op diet. I can't seem to find it and I was wondering if anyone had it or had anything else from their doctor that I can show my mom and dad? I didn't get a very detailed one from my doc.

Awesome! See you there!

You are all amazing, I feel better about it for now, I am sure I will get more anxious as time goes on but thank you guys so much <3

Just looking to get to know some people who will be there before I go. Kind of scared really.

I know it's not the same but you have the support of us here, there are so many things to worry about, sometimes it's hard to worry about other peoples fears too, even though they matter. If you feel in your heart it's the right thing to do, go with your gut. Other people will feed off you confidence after a while and the people who mean well will eventually follow suit with feeling confident too. Best of luck, sorry that was long winded ;p Kie
