My Surgery Is Scheduled! Valentine's Day 2012 <3

[MuddySoles 9]

Well I guess there will be no chocolate for me this Valentine's Day and I am completely fine with that. :smile1: I will be going in for my VSG that day. My fiance just had his done on January 3rd and he is doing very well with his adjustments.

I will admit I am a little afraid with some of the recovery issues I see with him but I think overall this is the best decision for me. I have been on a roller coaster ride with my weight-- gaining and losing 100, 50, 80, 35 pounds back and forth. This definitely cannot be good for my body, not to mention the heredity of heart disease, hbp, diabetes etc. etc. I guess I just have to keep convincing myself that I am doing the right thing.

I am fairly new to this website and find so many inspiring stories on these forums, I really do thank you all and enjoy the good reads.

Wish me luck and I will be back on to share my journey with all of you wonderful people.

Congrats!!! I just set my date for FEB 4th. Heading to Mexico. Did not think about that, no chocalate for me either. Well.... maybe a chocalate Protein Shake lol, that will do me just fine!!!

Yay! Congrats as well.

My BMI is right around 40. I am 5'7 and last week I weighed 261 and as of yesterday I weigh 252. I know it feels weird being so open with my weight.

I have actually been doing good with my eating since my partner has been on fluids for the past 10 days. (I find it hard to eat hearty meals while he's on broth, lol)

I really look forward to sharing our experiences.

Good luck to both of you...

EXACTLY!!!! The people on this forum are the ONLY non medical people in this world I've given this info to! (and I tell my husband EVERYthing. except that.) And freely at that! It's an amazing feeling to put that out there and have it be received so differently.

Good for you! I was just sleeved on Manday and am doing fine. I'm starting to miss the physical aspect of eating but know that will come back in a few couple weeks. I know this was the right decision for me and I wish the same for you.
