Let us know what you think!

Hey Everyone! I just had my surgery on last thursday and I am looking for some support. Everything has changed. My whole way of thinking.. I never thought that i would change this much. Everytime I see or smell fast food, greasy food, or anything I would have eaten before it turns my stomach and grosses me out. I had my surgery last thursday and I dont even have a craving for food yet. When people and the doctors tell you the surgery changes you. They are absolutely correct. Its amazing. So far I have lost 23 pounds. I am so excited. I can't wait to see what the next couple months has to bring for me. I am thinking about different things I want to do instead of eating. This was the best decision I have ever made!  I know I still have a lot of work to do but I am anxious to see the results. I have been overweight my whole life. I have been so depressed and hating myself everyday waking up and looking in the mirror. I hate getting dressed and feeling my clothes getting tighter.. I am ready for the new me... I am ready to make some new friends that are on the same path as me. I hope to talk to you all soon!

Hello everyone!  I have a question to ask about Dr Roye.  I have surgery scheduled for 10/6, only 14 days away and I am worried about gaining weight between now and the pre-op meeting on 10/1, which is only 9 days away!  I have been trying to follow a self imposed "liquid" diet with very little solid food but have had a hard time following it.  I have found myself cheating on it alot and am worried that I have gained weight since getting my surgery date.  I was told that I would need to get on the scale at the pre-op meeting but it wasnt specified about gain or loss.  My questions is this:

If I have gained weight between my 2nd appointment (when i got my surgery date) and the day of the pre-op meeting, will they cancel surgery??  The problem is, i cant even check myself b/c my scale wont go high enough and I dont want to pay for a new scale that will when i am going to be losing and the one i have will be prefectly good. 

I dont want tem to cancel surgery and I know if I gain its my own fault, but i really am trying and its just not going the way I want it to.  I think alot of it has to do with the idea that there are certain things i know i wont be able to have again, and want them one last time. 

Any info would be greatkly appreciated!  thank you in advance!.

Good luck to you!! I here are some suggestions as well...

personal hygiene wipes ( like Playtex), a puzzle book, regular book.  The MP3/IPOD is a great idea (drown out roommate if needed- hopefully not), the cell phone and charger is a must like suggested also. 
Take care and keep us updated!!   Eldy
