So i start my liquid diet today. I guess i got lucky my doctor only requires 7 days of liquids. Im excited but getting nervous now that everything is feeling real. Surgery next Wednesday..

@@amylynns good luck and prayers your way!

@shonlslove good luck im saying a pray for you and everyone having wls today.

When I started my journey i was 398.5 (highest ive been in my life) i cried when they told me my weight. Im fixing to start my liquid diet wednesday. Surgery is on 10/29/14. Im down to 395. Cant wait to be able to say im under 300!

I start mine Wednesday. Mine is only for a week tho. I am also nervous about how i will adjust to all liquids. I have surgery on the 29th. Good luck in your journey.

As with any surgery there are risks. If you do your research you will find they are not too common as she described. Dont let her scare you. If need be find another pcp that will support you. Good luck.

Just got my date for october 29! So excited and scared.

I have been on this prev pack 2 x now!! I had a biopsy the second time.... I go back to take another test this Friday.. Praying this one is negative... That's all im waiting on so that i can get my surgery date!

Trying to come up with a playlist to keep me motivated while working out. What is your favorite work out music?

Ok here's the deal.. I have my consultation on 5/16 also my final weigh in.. the problem is I have torn the ligaments in my knee and have been on crutches. I'm worried I've gained weight from not veing able to exercise!

That's why I was asking. The first doc my aubt went to kept doing by blood even after antibiotics. May be that is what is happening to her.

When they tested the second time how did they test? My doc said that it can still show up in blood after antibiotics they have to test mouth or feces..

Welcome to the group. Don't be nervous everything will be great and there is a great group of people here who will answer any question you have. They also help to keep you motivated. Best of luck! Melissa

Good morning welcome!

Oh so true! I didn't have anyone to talk to for a while and wound up slipping. I'm trying tobget back on track now.

Yeah a buddy to go threw this and support esch other!

I met with a psychiatrist yesterday and he said he wouldn't clear me for wls because I'm bipolar, have a history of alcohol abuse, and suffer from pts! First I'm on meds for a mood disorder not bipolar and I was 17 when I drank and it was on Friday or Saturday night at parties! I never blacked out or any of that! I'm almost 30 now and yes I have a drink every once in a while 2 or 2 times a mobth maybe... come on... think I need a second oppinion. As for prs really??? From the time I was 11??? Bull!

Ok i will thanks
