I could use a FRIEND!

I am trying to lose my 10% before I see the surgeon, so I have been drinking protein shakes 2x day then have a sensible protein/veggie dinner. I have lost 15lbs...but tonight I am struggling. My husband is very supportive, but tonight he cooked himself some tacos and they smell soooo good. I am going to Kaiser Fremont for my surgery and I am not sure how long it will be until I get a date. I hope by losing lbs. some before my 1st consult that will put me on the "express lane". lol

 Hi Rhonda. I just had my surgery 1/4/11. I was as excited as you are and my family and friends were as worried as yours sound. Everything will go smoothly, just listen to you surgeon. Time flies and soon you will be on the road to recovery and dropping your weight.

I have not spoken to more than a couple people on here, but I am sure you will find the support you need. I know I need to be more active on the boards. My surgeon said that having a support system with people that have had wls is a MUST, but I live 4.5hrs away from the city i had my surgery in (actually had my surgery done in another state). There is not any wls support groups in the small town I live in and the nearest would be 1hr away, so I am hoping that coming here to the boards will help me find what I need.

Good luck to you, you will do great ! I am excited for you. Congrats on having the courage do have wls.
