Well its Sunday and I have just one mote fay before surgery Tomorrow will be hard. I am going with my niece and her husband and daughter to a friends house for a cookout. They get to eat hamburgers and hot dogs and baked beans, while I will be sipping my clear broth and drinking water and apple juice. Juice to keep my sugar up. Have to be up btight and early Tuesday foray surgery. Have to be at the hospital by 8:00 am.for surgery at 10:00 am . My journey has been a real tough one. I started out at 410 lbs and am down to 367 lbs with just dieting. I haven't thought of a goal weight yet Any weight loss is a victory to me.After all my health issues, I have to do better and get healthier. I need to focus on just getting through this surgery and then I can begin the real weight loss journey. GOOD LUCK TO ALL( ESPECIALLY THOSE WITH SURGERY'S COMING UP) THANKS FOR ALL THE POSITIVE FEEDBACK AND COMMENTS. Sent from my LM-Q730 using BariatricPal mobile app

Should I be concerned about crying at different times. My surgery is Tuesday and I am beyond afraid. I have been cleared by all my other Doctors. Any thoughts ? Sent from my LM-Q730 using BariatricPal mobile app

Thank you everyone for all the emotional support.. I just miss both of my parents. The both passed away from heart failure and had an issue with obesity. I just don't want to end up the same way. In 2019 I was diagnosed with VT in one month and the next month had Multiple Bilateral Pulmonary Embolisms. I was only 49. Plus had Lyme disease. So all these major health issues just really frightened me. Not to mention I was a caregiver for my sister who had PPMS. She passed away last year. So I basically had been a caregiver for over 30 years of my life and had let my health issues go by the waistside. My family told me to focus on my health now so that I can ne around longer. Once again Thank You to All for your support and kind words. I am also from the south., so that Scarlett O Hara reference is a good one Sent from my LM-Q730 using BariatricPal mobile app

Hi everyone I am one week till my surgery and I am having a hard time with keeping on my liquid diet. My diabetes is giving me problems. I can't seen to keep my level in the right range. I have been drinking Glucerna and Premiere Protein drinks plus Carnation Instant Breakfast drunks. Any suggestions ? Watching the rest of my family eat solid food is really hard , plus I am really scared of the surgery. Any advice from anyone ? Sent from my LM-Q730 using BariatricPal mobile app
