praldous 19 Posted June 17, 2012 Im a lil nervous now. It is on. I'm excited but the support of my family is lacking. Their negativity is starting to wear on me. Idk if this has happened to anybody else who went through this, any advise would be appreciated. I feel like I can't lean on anyone for support. I know I'm better off having the surgery than not. I'll be healthier. But y can't my family see that? I guess I just needed to let that out. Well 9 days here we come. I have come this far nothing is going to stop me now!

1969lulu 0 Posted June 17, 2012 Praying for you hun, I'm sure it will all go well. Some people just don't understand what you're going through, but you've got the support you need right here :-)) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tmorgan813 13 Posted June 17, 2012 Good luck. I found the pre-op diet one of the hardest parts of going through this. I was filled up, but I missed chewing and drinking the same stuff for 14days (per my doc) got really boring....really fast. On a positive note, the time did seem to fly by and before I knew it I was in surgery. Now it's been a little over two months and I am fifty pounds down. Before you know it you will be recovering and losing and feeling better every day. Good luck. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KatieOkieDokie 171 Posted June 17, 2012 You will be in my thoughts and prayers, and I'll be sending you support through brainwaves and heart strings! I wish your family was more supportive. Just remember who you are doing this for, and why you are doing it! They will come around and be thankful you did this too, and hopefully understand that you are doing this to save your life, so that you can be in their lives for many more years to come!

1920-Zeta 64 Posted June 19, 2012 The liquid diet has my head hurting. On day 2. I think that's one of the side effects of Bariatric Advantage shakes. It takes me 2 hours 2 drink it. My hubby went and bought some unsweet frozen fruit today. Maybe the fruit will help. Ain't no stoppin us now,were on the move !!!!!!<br />Sincerely<br /> Zeta Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
