kellyrit 12 Posted September 12, 2015 @@edie091371 Nervous not so much , obsessive absolutely. Yes I am watching youtube videos nonstop as well. Currently working through all of the Lesstolove videos. I am more worried about NOhT getting dumping from sugar AND fat. Of course after surgery it wouldn't surprise me if I complained about that after surgery. That is awesome that both of you will be having surgery.@@Laughingmyassoff2015 do you mind sharing your blogging. I would be interested for sure. Ok I see you already did cool (laughingmyassoff.squarespace.com) I will be going there after I finish the lesstolove videos. @@kellyrit cool another for 6 October. Where are you having your surgery?

kellyrit 12 Posted September 12, 2015 I'm having my surgery in Hamilton New Zealand. I have previously had a lap band, I had so many complications 4 operations to correct it then removed when my stomach completely obstructed. I have no insurance so all my operations except the band removal have been self funded. After my band was removed I got pregnant so packed on the weight big time, my daughter is now 2, really need this done. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kimvox66 91 Posted September 14, 2015 Hi all! I am having my surgery on 10/2 at Loyola University Medical Center in Chicago. I am trying to start weaning myself off of my go tos - English muffins, Pasta, rice, coffee, wine, vodka..... I'm realizing how much I really love food, cooking and dining with friends as well so I'm experiencing some anxiety. Does anyone else feel this way? Wanting the surgery, but at the same time saying "oh my God, what am I about to do?" I also can't quite wrap my head around the fact that at this time next year - hell in 6 months, I won't look like I do right at this minute. Anyway, thanks for "listening and good luck to everyone!

395Ron 396 Posted September 14, 2015 (edited) 22 days and counting. Been watching commercials and thinking I will never eat that much food again. A typical serving, which I would eat more than one of, I will be taking a doggy bag away from. Strange. Edited September 14, 2015 by 395Ron Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
