Surgery is June 1st! 8-)

I am nervous and excited. Anxious to get it over with. Still have a hard time believing this will work for me. If I couldn't diet before, why will I be able to scrutinize every bite post-op?

Congrats Abby on your surgery date. I hope all goes well for you. I am alittle new to this Iowa sight, but hope I can be of some comfort with words. I will be saying a small prayer for you, and wish you the *******ways tell people, think positive, look at the bright side of things, and always rememebr that the man upstairs is watching over you. he will guide you as you start your journey to a better you. Best of luck Abby, and keep us all posted. Like I have found out even if you need to shoot the breeze this sight is one good place to come to for comfort. Take care, and good luc****il we talk again.~Pam

wow congrats on your surgey I will keep you in my prayers good luck to you. take care Laurie

Congrats on your appoaching date! You will soon be on the losing side. I understand your feeling about why will this work when nothing else has. I'm down 26 pounds since surgery 5-11. I keep wondering how much will I have to lose to really believe? My BMI is now under 40! In my mind I know this will work. It's just the rest of me that is a little slow to catch on. Best of luck on Tuesday!

Abby! You will be surprised at the "little" bites you will take in. I still can't believe (neither can anyone else!!) the little bites & what little portions I eat. Surgery for me was April 20th -19 lbs. Soon you will be on the losing side & thinking back DID I REALLY EAT THAT MUCH???!!! Will keep you in my thoughts & prayers, keep us posted...Carolyn

Abby, i know what you mean finally will this one work....well by my pic you can tell it does....i am not like most of the people in here i dont have a scale so i dont weigh myself....i only weigh in once a month with my dr....one thing i have notice since my surgery i am very picky of what i put in my mouth to eat. sometimes i wander why didnt i do that before.....i havent had a pop since dec.10th....and funny thing is that i was addicted to pop and now i can have it in my house and it dont bother me....that surprises....yeah sometimes i do cheat and a bite of candy....but then i feel guilty cuz of it....i wish you all the luck in the world and you have my prayers if you need anything let me know.........Lynda
