I've been following you as well and am very excited for you to have a date! I am going to see Dr. Aceves on Thursday for sleeve surgery on Friday. I am in the same position with my family. Obviously, my husband knows what I am doing and where I am going. My mother knows what I am doing, but I told her I am having the surgery done in San Diego. My father and my sister think I am going to a weightloss spa. My father would never allow me to do what I am doing (yes I am 41, an adult and the mother of 3 girls, but what my Dad says, goes!). My sister wouldn't understand. She is tall and thin and enjoys working out, everything I am not! Anyway, I ramble, but I get what you are going through. I will let you know how I do this week/weekend and maybe it will help you! Congrats! xoxo

Thank you all so much. Really, could you all be any more wonderful? My anxiety goes in and out. I am feeling better right now! I can't tell you how much I appreciate your kind words. I am getting oh so much closer to the new me and I can't wait! Love the "just breathe". I always said if I ever got a tattoo, that would be what it would say, funny how that is what you said to me. Love it. xoxo

Very sorry to hear of your experience. Best of luck to you with whatever you decide for your future. My heart goes out to you.

Ally - I will be there with you girl. I have 3 daughters and I keep thinking that I hope I am making the right decision for them. I will be there on Thursday, I don't know if I will see you that day as you will be recovering from surgery, but I will ask about you and see if maybe I can pop in. I am sure we will both need each other! Im so excited for you and me!!!!

I am starting to freak out. I cannot believe how close I am. I think I am most fearful of making it through surgery and the flight home. I just want to be well by the time I get home. I can't imagine how my children will react if I get home and am not feeling very well. Ok, positive thoughts. So excited! xoxo Jennifer

So happy you Latoya!

Kathy: Go back to the bariatric website and order their catalog. I really enjoyed reading it. All the help I can get! I am really excited for all you have coming up JulyBride. What a great year you are going to have!!!

Ok, from your picture, you don't look old enough to have a child, let alone a grandchild. You look so young. I bought my plane ticket today, so I am going. I have to send my deposit in to Dr. Aceves. That is on my to do list for this week. My flight was expensive, my fault for waiting so long I guess! I am going to start hunting down more stuff for after surgery. I got a really cool catalog in the mail today from Bariatric Eating (I think the website is bariatriceating.com). They have a lot of stuff that looks like it will be helpful. I haven't made it into GNC or VitaminShoppe yet b/c I am embarrassed to be looking at bariatric stuff in person. ISn't that just awful? We are going to have such a good experience in Mexico. Can't wait!!

I wouldn't be surprised if I was the one who got where we stay when wrong. I am good like that! I am so psyched that I have someone to look forward to meeting! I think we just finally decided tonite that I am going alone. One of my issues is I don't take care of myself. I worry if my husband comes along, I will be concerned about what he is doing, if he is entertained, fed, etc...and will not focus on me. Is that crazy? I want to take the 5 days I am gone, and focus on me and not worry about my husband, 3 kids, 2 dogs, 2 lizards and my parents. That is where I am right now. I feel pretty good about it!!!! What about you, who are you bringing? Yes to the Protein supps. I have the unjury sampler, the Chicque (spelling is wrong) sampler and the nectar sampler. I have tried NOTHING. Too scared! What about you, what have you bought/tried?

Hi all. I am Jennifer and I will be sleeved by Dr. Aceves in Mexico on July 2. Ally, I will be there with you! I arrive in San Diego on July 1, sleeved on the second and per Nina will spend the rest of the time in the Hospital until I leave the morning of July 5. Ally, I wonder why you go back to the hotel and I stay in the hospital? Anyway, I am 5'4'' and weigh 210. I am so ready to feel better about myself and be able to wear clothes that fit me well and make me feel good about myself. Right now, I don't feel so good about myself and it is starting to affect everything I do. I have 3 girls and they don't have the best role model. That is all going to change. I am so excited I can hardly stand it!

I am so glad another mom of 3 will be there! I am so excited and so nervous and so happy that I will have some "friends" there!! By the way, I am not leaving on July 3, I am leaving on July 5. I shouldn't have responded so late at night. Cavyguy can't wait to meet you and your wife as well!! xoxo Jennifer

I am!!!! Surgery scheduled for July 2. So, I arrive on July 1 and will leave on July 3. Very nervous. I haven't booked my flights, I need to get on that!!! I really look forward to meeting you.
