Ladybrinkman 30 Posted December 27, 2015 I'm excited more than nervous. I've been big my whole life, it's time for me to feel good in my body! My husband is a cancer survivor and we worry about his health, I need to be healthy to be around for a long time for my boys. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lyfromsj 7 Posted December 27, 2015 Hey Amy!! Good for you. It's awesome to be taking control of our lives. I'm 5'6" 240 lbs. it took a long time for me to make this decision. I think it is the right one for me. As my surgery gets closer I'm just getting nervous. I start my 14 day liquid Dec 30th. Hopefully that will go well and give me a jump start on my weight loss. I have also started going to the gym. That should help too. Good luck to you! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jenpen197803 2 Posted December 27, 2015 Hi Linda and Amy! It's nice to connect with other people getting ready for surgery. Amy, my husband is a cancer survivor too, so I can relate to already worrying about long-term health in your twenties and thirties. Blessedly, he's been in remission for close to 9 years. I understand that feeling of being heavy my whole life. I'm also bit of an emotional eater, so I've been working with a counselor on these issues and it's definitely helped. Linda,what end of NJ are you? We are south jersey. What kind of Protein Drinks are you ladies drinking for pre op? I can always use suggestions! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
