May 11th for surgery (seemed liked a lifetime)

After reading some of the posts on here I realize that I am not alone.  Many of us are having the same feelings.  I am scared, excited, and still wondering if I am making the right choice.  I talked to a woman post op of 6 years and she told me that I would probably hate myself at first, but in the long run I will be thankful  that I did.  I have my mother, sister, and a good friend whom are support for me as they have already have had the surgery.  I am lucky for this. 

you will do fine, mom sonya and i will be your biggest support system

From one Jennifer to another i'm right there with ya.  My date is 5/12 so we'll be entering this new life close together.  I too get very excited, scared and sometimes question my decision.  But in the end I reel myself in by talking to people, coming to this site and remembering I did alot of research and this was thought out.  I want to be healthy and am so looking forward to this sometimes I'm ready to bust.  (also looking forward to buying new clothes that fit and look nice )

Keep in touch and good luck to you.  I'm on my liquid diet in my 3rd day and am a little bonkers but hoping it gets better.

Yes we will be starting our journey side by side.  I would like to keep in contact to see how each other progresses down the line.  We only have to be on the liquid diet for 9 days.  I start mine on May 2nd.  I heard it is rough to do.  I guess in the long run it is worth it.

Mine is May 5th and I've been on a liquid diet for a month and a half. I got headaches for the first few days but after that is is not so bad. I'm down 35 lbs and just thinking about getting some smaller clothes. I have been pushing the Insurance Co for two and a half years to get this  OK and I can't wait to get started on the rest of my life. Good luck to all
