marionb88 12 Posted October 21, 2016 So I had my final appointment today with my surgeon. I'm scheduled for surgery Monday. I have a mixture of feelings. Ready, scared, excited, anxious, happy, sad. It's alot to handle. I'm so ready to be healthier. I'm ready to be a better more active mom that can get on the floor and play with the kids or can go down the Water slide when we go to the water park. I'm so tired of my husband getting all those moments and memories and me just sitting and watching cuz my weight is holding me back. I'm so ready to be a better wife cuz my weight isn't controlling my self image. I've done so much to get ready for this. I've lost almost 30 pounds already. And I can already tell I'm feeling better about myself. I'm ready to be the person I used to be before the weight....friendly, and outgoing. I'm tired of hiding behind this weight and being to self conscious to be myself. I'm ready. I'm sad to say goodbye to food but I'm done with letting it control me. It's been my comfort for too long and has been my downfall. I'm ready to be the one to control me. I have so much in my life to make me happy instead of food. Two beautiful little girls and an amazing husband and great career. I've got everything I need to be happy. I just need to fight to get myself back and make me even more happy. I'm so ready for this. I'm a little scared of the changes but more scared of surgery itself. Any kind words or advice would be appreciated lol.

Tru3 2 Posted October 21, 2016 Not sure yet. Can't wait to just get it scheduled already lol. This is my first appointment with him and only one before surgery. My insurance required no pre op diet so things have moved along rather quickly for me. How was your pre op? Nervous about it kinda Sent from my SM-N920R6 using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dawnislas 74 Posted October 21, 2016 You will be amazed at how well you will do in just 1 week. Just sip, sip, sip your Water and get as much Protein in as you can. Also follow your surgeon's rules and you should do fine. I had my surgery on 9/13 wearing a 16pw pants. Tried a size 12p pants on this morning and they fit. Amazing and all with no hunger. You got this. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
elisa5150 212 Posted October 21, 2016 My sleeve was 10/18. It's so great to be on the other side. It's going so much better than I expected. Stay ahead of pain, gas, nausea. Walk, walk, walk and sip, sip, sip. Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rosey posey 176 Posted October 22, 2016 Thanks dawnislas I was having a blue morning I'll put that donut back and leave it for my son. It was his box anyway. Now to sip some Crystal lite if I want a sweet taste. Truth to be known last donut I ate sat like a lump and didn't give me joy. Could be my body knows better already.
