Hi guys! Now I haven't had my surgery yet, I have to dietary classes to go and they're supposed to give me a date. But today I'm feeling kind of down and as if that day will never come! Have you ever felt like you're just waiting for your life to happen and life goes really slow to get there. Sent from my SM-G930T using BariatricPal mobile app

I'm in Rio Rancho New Mexico, right by Albuquerque! We lived in Colorado for 21 years I love it and I miss it! My son lives in Denver. Hit me up if you want to chat! Sent from my SM-G930T using BariatricPal mobile app

Congratulations Berry78! You look absolutely beautiful and it's wonderful to put a face to that wonderful voice that you have on our site. You make us all proud! Sent from my SM-G930T using BariatricPal mobile app

Hi bright faith! I love your name! I have purchased books that I'm getting ready to read and I know that I should take this time to just chill out, but I'm ready in my head and I know that my insurance doesn't ask me to go through all of these hoops that they're asking me to go through. I just want to get it done. I think I need to find a buddy that I can go through this with so that we can encourage each other on the bad days because usually I'm very up but today is not that day!

Thank you Jersey gal! I pray I will and then I'm just going to go over there in that dress and heels for lunch! Sent from my SM-G930T using BariatricPal mobile app

My nutritionist told me about it, I'm sorry I don't still have the name on hand. Sent from my SM-G930T using BariatricPal mobile app

You know I bought a little black dress that I thought was just beautiful. I don't have a date yet for my surgery, I still have two dietary classes and then I'll get my date, so when I took it out and showed it to my sister-in-law and my husband all my sister-in-law could say was "You'll never get into that !"

It would be really nice if you asked around it see if someone who is going through that size needs to have some clothes! Very expensive to be on this diet because you have to keep changing sizes! Sent from my SM-G930T using BariatricPal mobile app

I get that all the time, however I have chronic pain and neuropathy. Talk to your doctor! Not everything can be attributed to diet. Sent from my SM-G930T using BariatricPal mobile app

In December I've next year I'm hoping to be at goal, which means in the spring or the fall of 2019 going to Ireland! I can't wait to walk the Green Hills and see the Villages and drinking the pubs and sing songs with the natives! Don't worry, just one drink! Sent from my SM-G930T using BariatricPal mobile app

I really liked him when I met him, and just had an inherent trust for him. It's a riot that his own mother works for him, I hope she still does it'll be interesting to meet her! I still need to finish my last two nutritional classes and that's it they should schedule my surgery! I'm so ready to get this done. How have you done in your journey? By the way my name is Joan.

Actually I am a newbie on the site and even though I'm getting an rn.y I find you sleepers very interesting! I think I hang out here more than anywhere LOL! I am from Rio Rancho and dr. Tyner is going to do my surgery. I have to have a revision from having my stomach stapled in 1991. Should I trust him? LOL Sent from my SM-G930T using BariatricPal mobile app

Thanks folks for ALL of the great care and info!!

Praise the Lord and close the door! I hope to God my husband is just like yours! LOL Sent from my SM-G930T using BariatricPal mobile app

Hey smiling! I'm 27 years past my stomach stapling gained all my weight back and now I'm going for an RNY. You're not alone, you're not even in a room with a few people, you're in a room with a whole hell of a lot of people! You hang in there girl and remember you can't ever start over too many times. You got this! God bless you and yours. Sent from my SM-G930T using BariatricPal mobile app

Hi! I'm a 55 year old depressed, anxiety-filled person! I have a great personality, I am funny, and I'm working on this journey! Anytime you want to talk I am a great one for texting or calling or emailing! Feel free and don't feel alone! Sent from my SM-G930T using BariatricPal mobile app

Congratulations! You got this! Sent from my SM-G930T using BariatricPal mobile app

Thank you Berry 78. It makes my heart a little easier to hear what you said. Honestly I didn't know where to look it up at! But I was worried that I was going to put myself through massive surgery and have no results. That would be absolutely unacceptable! Sent from my SM-G930T using BariatricPal mobile app

I have been on Lyrica for years and it has caused me to gain weight. Is there anyone else here who have gained weight from meds? Did the surgery help? Am I walking into this surgery with hope that are absolutely unrealistic?

Peppermint tea would be best in the Lone Star State. Sorry....

I would second the medical marijuana suggestion Works great.

Hi Sue! I'm 55 an I'm in the middle of preparations to do my surgery. Granted I don't have the distance problem you have, but I STRONGLY SUGGEST you stay near your surgeon for 2 to 3 days to give your body a chance to know if anything is wrong. I choose to be healthy for the rest of my life, which is how you are feeling, I'm sure. Feel free to pm me if you just need to talk. God Bless you!

Yeah, Darlin, you too!
