I finally have my date!

Im so happy that i have my date finally! October 5, 2009. My biggest problem since getting the date two weeks ago is that my eating is again spinning out of control. I seem to be obsessed over what I won't have again. So I decided to come here and post it for the world to see. And find some info and keep moving forward on my journey to a new and improved life for me!

Maybe don't look at it as never cause when we say never it seems all we want is those things we are telling ourselves we can't have. Congrats on date.

Awesome!

You really can't look at it as "what I won't ever have again" because in reality, that will not be the case.  You will be able to have pretty much everything again at some point in time.. it will just be about moderation and portions.

You and I have the same date AND the same Doctor!!!!  That is so cool.. I know exactly what you mean.  It took so long for me to get the actual date.  Now that I have the date, I am excited one minute and then incredibly anxious the next!  I working in the schools so I am finishing my vacation. I am struggling with the "vacation mode" eating patterns right now.  I have been upping my exercise but I need to not gain any weight b/c I have lost that desired 5%.  ARGH! 

Did you have to weighth long for your surgery date?  I wonder if we will see each other on the 5th???  LOL

Take care and good luck!

Too cool jenn! I started in february and just got my date a few weeks ago. I LOVE Dr. Simon. He did my husbands surgery and has always made us feel like people not a file in some office! I know they process alot of people thru there but he has always been great with us. Are you from syracuse? Are you nervous? I am and im not..just the unknown i guess! Please keep in touch with me this is great!

Congratulations on your date, it will arrive quicker than you think trust me. I know a couple people who have had your surgeon and Ive heard great reviews about him. As for the eating thing I sort of did the same thing your doing before my surgery. But instead of ingulfing a whole whopper from bk Id buy a whopper jr. or instead of eating like a million soft shell tacos Id eat 2. Just downsize your portions, you dont need alot to stop the craving and besides this a good time to work on taming that head hungry thing which youll have after surgery. Your doing good and you dont want to gain weight because the surgeon will pull the rug out from under you and wont do it. You want to make the surgery easy for him and your recovery easy for you!! Stay strong and I will be cheering for you from the losers bench (which I will make room for you come October)!! Congrats and trust me you are in for the ride of your life!

FANTASTIC!!!!

I have a 'target date' of Sept. 25th, but that all depends on insurance, etc.

I know what you mean about spinning out of control... I've not been as good as I should lately. I do write everything down, but my cals are creeping up from 1000 a day to 1200 a day..

Hang in there.. we'll do it!!
