surgery Dec. 10

I am so excited that the time is almost here. Now that it is getting so close I have mixed feelings. I am excited yet scared about after the surgery. I hope learning to eat again will not be so hard as I think. I hope that Christmas dinner will go well with me. The only thing that I can do is to keep the thought of that this is all worth it and it is saving my life so I don't need those types of food. Overall I am so glad that I am able to get this surgery done so I can go back to the size I used to be. I gained over 100 lbs. from a anti-depressant called Paxil and it ruined my life. I do not suggest that certain medication to anyone. Wish me luck and I am counting down the days.

Hi Tisha, Congratulations on your WLS surgery date. If you are anything like me, learning your new lifestyle will not be difficult, and Christmas dinner will be fine. My taste buds have definitely changed (I often accuse my surgeon of scraping my taste buds off during surgery LOL). The foods I once liked, I no longer desire....and things I didn't like, I now love....go figger!! My one-year anniversary is coming up on the 31st of this month. Im down 147.5 pounds. I pray everything goes well for you. There may be a day or two during the first couple of weeks where you will wonder if you did the right thing....but this will pass. I actually had a day that I spent crying and crying...I was mourning the loss of food.....this too shall pass. All I can tell you is since that day, I have not regreted this surgery once and would do it again in a heart beat. Good luck, and let us know how things are going. God bless!! Teresa
