Don't let the worrying about not having your family's support stress you out, or you could make yourself sick over it. Just focus on you and only you right now.

It's too bad you have to take this journey alone, but it will make you stronger in the end.

My husband and parents are not exactly supportive, but they've acknowledged that it's happening and my parents are going to come the day of surgery in case there are any complications. My husbands biggest concern is the Mexico detail, but I knew I'd never get approved in Canada and it was way too expensive in the States, so this is the path I'm going.

I'm scheduled for Jan 11, it came so fast, lulunoire, same day!, Mrs A Train, your fiancé is being a jerk, he is jealous of your new and improved body, oh well for him.

I TOTALLY understand! This is Day 4 for me. I've told my husband he can't eat near me. It's getting easier...but, it is definitely not easy. What keeps me focused is that I know I need to do this for a SAFE surgery and a smaller liver. I didn't get this far, go thru the 6 month wait for insurance approval for NOTHING!

I wasn't prepared for the desire to have real food during this 2 week pre op liquid diet...every smell is magnified.. Ugh sipping on my shake while hubby is eating pizza..Lord give me strength

Had surgery on Dec 18th, have 60 -80lbs to go. So far this is doable. I'm on pureed which is not nearly as bad as I worried.

My sleeve is scheduled for Jan 12 as well. Let's chat from time to time with messages! I'm a nurse practitioner in N.C. Pre op diet is tough but I'm doing it & walking....how about you?

Hey everyone! 1st post on BP. I was approved by insurance on Wednesday, I go in to orientation Tuesday then I start my pre-op classes Thursday. ...no surgery date yet, but it'll be late Jan or early February. I'm so excited, nervous and quite frankly, sacred crap less

[This-is-my-journey 124]

I got a call Tuesday..they had a couple questions for me and I was told I would be having my surgery within the next 4-6 weeks. They'll call me for the actual date a week in advance. I cried my eyes out lol I'm so ready to start this new chapter and say goodbye to the fat me

My sleeve surgery is scheduled for February 3.

I was supposed to have sleeve surgery on October 21 but wound up being diagnosed with kidney cancer in Sept. The cancer was completely removed in October and I got the all clear from the kidney surgeon to proceed with the sleeve surgery.

I go for preadmission testing and a last consult with the bariatric surgeon on Jan 14. At that time ill find out what kind of pre-op diet I need.

I'm glad to have found this group!

It's getting better for me too.. Tonight they wanted to go to the local pizza place. I brought my dinner with me. I didn't have the desire to sneak a taste today.

Hello everyone I'm scheduled for Jan 24th!!

[cindyw41 761]

Day 6 of the pre-op diet...lost 7 lbs so far.. Great right? Well my husband says to me, keep doing this till you hit your goal and you won't need surgery... Um this diet is not substainable for a long time period. I would go insane..
