lis463 11 Posted July 3, 2013 Awesome! I've heard the pre-op diet is harder than post-op because of the hunger before surgery. Just remember it will be easier post-surgery. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

elli'smommy 160 Posted July 3, 2013 You are making the right choice. I think we all have this fear that we might leave something behind' date=' but what you need to look at is how much you have to gain ahead. I am from Concord, NC[/quote'] My surgery is this morning at 830am. I've been up crying since 4am bc I'm so afraid to leave my baby. I needed to hear this this morning. Thank you!

shawna29 60 Posted July 3, 2013 You'll be fine. It is important to try to relax and get a good night's sleep before surgery. All will be well. HW: 370. CW:344. SD:8/21/13 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lis463 11 Posted July 3, 2013 How are all of you feeling? For me it's almost a month away and the nerves are kickin in big time I am nervous a bit, but I have not heard from a single person who has had it that they regretted it. Mostly I am way past being sick and tired of being sick and tired. It will be a huge relief to start making headway in this weightloss battle, and start feeling better. 1 daisykarebear reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
