Getting ready by trying to drink all this Water. I am blessed with a big tummy and a small bladder, but I am trying! Need support and am hoping for everyone's success.:rolleyes2:

Welcome, Jersey Girl!

Are you scheduled for surgery or are you just considering it? Whatever support you need, you just come here and I'm sure there will be lots of people to help you! I'm going in for surgery on the 20th....a bit nervous, but very excited! I'll help support you in any way that I can! Good Luck!

Best wishes on your upcoming surgery, Cappy! I am scheduled for February 17 at Princeton Hospital. I am approved and have started to eat and think differently, but I am still a bit scared about being able to manage the whole thing. I have read some posts, and people write a lot about "emotional eating" habits that linger like phantom limbs. I think that is going to happen to me, too.

Mostly, though, I am concened about my husband and son who are both far too heavy. I am trying to set a good example by doing this surgery and altering some patterns. That is my "full plate" now.

Thanks for being my first forum buddy. Please let me know about your progress.:thumbup:
