Don't worry, a lot of people get chilly feet, but very very few cancel. I think I asked on another thread which procedure were you fearful of?
I fought long, I fought hard to get my procedure, I never was chilly footed but many are. It is a profoundly life changing situation you are heading towards. But would I return to how I was before my surgery, No No a million and half times No. I was 365 pounds at my highest, had worn out 2 knees, had to have them replaced, I was so sick and tired of being sick and 😫 tired. Every day was a struggle to move, I spent time lying down, because it hurt too much to be up, even sitting. I was ru,bing out of energy, any exertion and I was out of breath, people around me dropping like flies and I wasn't sure I might not be next. Tried every diet known to man, even tried starving myself. My quality of life was abysmal but a spark inside me Dr used not to give up. And I was older than many programs cut-off age, so I had an uphill battle to find one to give me a fighting chance, had to prove my worthiness, but on September 5th 2018 at 7AM , my Wonder Wednesday, my SURGIBIRTHDAY occured. And I have not had the smoothest of healing journeys, indeed I am still healing, but I am also 110 or so pounds below that Horrible for Me High Weight, and each day is a new day , I have a future and I will stick with it until my goal is reached, may be 18 months instead of a year, you do lose at a slower rate, but still you do lose. And the world that once counted me out will realize the folly of such thinking, for Frustr8 has a lot to offer. Want to join me on this trek to health? Always looking for more friends!😝🍀I think I'm pretty lucky to have done what I have.

I know the feeling! Mine is coming up in mid-January and I am still questioning whether or not this is something I truly wish to go through with, but only because I think I'm having cold feet? It's something I definitely DO want to go through with, but it doesn't make me any less nervous or scared.

Having doubt or buyers remorse is normal before any surgery. Fear of complications is natural... but what if you don't have the surgery? How much longer can your body hold up like this? Are you unhappy or miserable with your weight? If not now... then when?? Best of luck... you got this!

I understand. But I’ll just say this - I had surgery 10/10/18 and my ONLY regret is I didn’t do it years ago. And I think you will find that most people feel the same way. Good luck!!

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
