amandaelder4 26 Posted June 1, 2016 Well, the big day is about 30 days out and I am getting more and more excited. Being overseas for my husbands work doesn't allow for much of an in person support group, so I am looking to find some buddies here. I know that there will be struggles and challenges and then there will be victories. I hope that I can find some buddies to share these experiences with. thanks!

Sarellen5 27 Posted June 9, 2016 Hi I am July 5th too! I think I am more excited than nervous. I am ready to start changing. I have not been happy in the place that I have been in over the past 10 years. So when I think of losing this weight I feel excited, I am a little anxious about what it is going to be like the that first few weeks and first month.

I don't have to be on a preop diet but thinking I should start going low carb and giving up caffeine and sugar. I have been eating horrible out of nerves and knowing how my lifestyle and diet will be changing, I get anxious but then thnk of how unhappy I have been. I know the first month will be hard but I know it will get better each day, I have been trying to research everything. Do you know what Protein shake you will use after surgery?

taprice2 21 Posted June 17, 2016 Hello all, If all goes well with my EGD on June 21, my surgery date will be July 5. So excited and would like to join your buddy group. Personally for me, It really helps to have others to talk to that are going through the same experiences and to be able to pounce ideas off of when I am unsure about something.

I would be happy for you to join especially since our surgery is going to be on the same day! How exciting! It does seem to make it a bit easier having someone to bounce ideas off of and just to go through this journey with. It's going to be a struggle at first and the support of others is what will impact us the most. Yay! What are your starting stats, if you don't mind sharing. You can always private message me too!
