Hey! Finally someone close by . I'm having my surgery May 28th a Toronto East General, how about you?

Hi there, I've been getting anxious and nervous and excited and so many more emotions in the last week so I think it must be natural to feel this way, I am however so ready for this surgery, I come on here and read so many stories and I feel so much better because of all the support that's on here! So maybe when you're feeling this way, come on here and it's like a great confidence and strength boost for us. I wish you all the best

Oh I'm so sorry, I wish you a healthy speedy recovery and best of luck on the 28th

I'm sorry I'm not familiar with all the abbreviations on here, what is pcos stand for?

Yes we have to get in 64oz of water in as well as our shakes as far as I know

That's the cutest way of putting it lol!

My date is on your birthday! May 28th

I'm also a dog lover, I have a 12yr old Jack Russell And a 2yr old Yorkie, she's only 4 lbs but thinks she's a Great Dane! lol

That's amazing! I'm so looking forward to my big day more than ever because of you, I'm not as nervous so thank you for your updates and support my bariatric pal! Glad to hear you're doing so well!

Hi Jenelle, thinking about you, haven't seen an update from you today, hope all is well, best wishes

May 28th for me

That really great to hear you're doing so well Jenelle! Keep up the amazing job you're doing so far, you motivate me and calm my nerves about my upcoming surgery, I will follow my directions like you are for hopefully the same recovery as you

Me too

Hi there, I'm looking for a good simple book on wls with ideas and recipes for after the surgery from day one on, can anyone recommend?

Thank you so much!

Thank you Gingersnaps, I will try this when the subject comes up again

Thank you so much! Very helpful!

Hi, I'm having my surgery May 28th at the Toronto East General hospital, my surgeon will be Dr. Jaime Cyriac. Anyone else have theirs done in Toronto and who was or will be your surgeon?

You're doing so great, love reading your updates, keep up the good work, you are definitely doing much better than most at this point just remember as each day passes it all gets better

oh and all of you here are amazing, thank you Alex <3

How do I get my 18 yr old daughter to support me, she is almost angry with me about doing it and it makes me feel awful but I'm still going through with it, my new life is the most important thing going for me at the moment. At one point she was ok with it till she found a 'new' juicing diet that is foolproof so now she's saying I'm just giving up and resorting to wls because I won't try it. I know her heart is in the right place, but she won't even listen or read about wls she only knows the crap she hears. On my own with a small handful of people that do understand is good enough for me, I love my daughter, I just wish she was supportive.

Welcome! We are lucky to have this site, soon much needed info and support on here, enjoy

That is wonderful! I love the fact you are posting step by step, you are a great help thank you!

I agree with Tangy, I think we all hope and pray for that type of recovery, keep up the good work Hun, so happy to hear how well you're doing!

Have you used the sippy cups? How were they? I would have assumed they were like straws and straws aren't allowed after my surgery because it can cause gas
