We here I am 2 days post op and still feel nervous, but keep in mind that you will feel better and as long as you have support of your family, you will be all the better. just try not too worry too much you will be great when you get through it all. I can only focus on getting better and soon I will be eating food and feeling better soon. Good luck and stay focused on the end of the rainbow. Andrea -
Ok tomorrow is the last day of my old life, and I will be starting a new one, my anxiety level is really up there. Did anyone out there feel the anxiety that passes after this surgery?? I know that this will be the best thing for me and my family, but I guess I am just nervous about the whole surgery thing. I would appreciate anyone's advise on how to work through this. Thanks, Andrea

Thank you for the kind words, you really don't know how that makes me feel knowing that there are all these people out there offering support and they don't even know me. I truly appreciate it and will let you all know how I am feeling after my surgery. Thanks again and God Bless you all. All the best, Always, Andrea:thumbup: -

I will let you know how I do you do the same ok -
not to be funny, but there may be some underlying factors there that you may have to deal with and professionals may help you, good luck and I wish you all of the best.

I would love to keep in touch with you during our journey, I weigh 308 now and hope to get off at least 100 or 150, and you?

OK I stand corrected I just checked my paperwork and it says, 25-30 initially then as tolerated 60 grams for women and 72 for men of protein.

Listen stay true to yourself, put aside all the things bad that people may blurt out, they haven't gone through what you have. My family said we don't want you to do this but I know that it will change my life for the better. I turned 40 this year and it's time for me. So good luck with the surgery and I hope to hear more from you.
Take Care,
Andrea
