get2chris 28 Posted November 30, 2014 I quit smoking with a great online support group. Six..almost seven years later I'm still in touch with many of them. So nice to be able to come here and share with someone else who is in the same place. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Grandma2tweeties 108 Posted November 30, 2014 When you're sharing such personal journeys it creates a special bond for sure!!!!! Don't know what I'd do with my groups. When you're going through this it's on your mind 24/7 and when those you know aren't they don't understand it's your every thought. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lol Grandma2tweeties, the first 2 days were a piece of cake, but today the third day has been my hardest, I have been STARVING all day, and very out of it. Hoping tomorrow will be better, and def jealous of the people who don't have to do full liquids. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mroth28 23 Posted December 2, 2014 Hi everyone I have been reading some of the posts for a while, but this is my first time writing. I just got my date...12/15.... Now I am completely nervous...lol. Excited, anxious, scared, elated, hopeful.....just to name a few. I can't believe I am doing this....I am a mom of 3, my 2 boys are 4 1/2 and almost 3. They are both autistic, I also have a 16 year old step daughter who lives full time with me....I never do anything for myself, this will be the first time I am taking care of me. It's funny, I have been so confident about having this surgery, but now that I officially have a date I am starting to worry... Will I still be me after the surgery? It might sound dumb, but I don't know how to be a healthy person. I am not talking about eating healthy, I mean I don't know how to act, I usually like to be invisible, (most overweight people do) am I going to be that way after the weight comes off? Sorry for the strange post, I think I just needed to share my thoughts. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Grandma2tweeties 108 Posted December 2, 2014 Don't let anyone change your mind. I hope they mean well but the have no idea what it takes to get us to this decision and wants we make it we are committed...... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
