Congratulations to everyone on the losing side

I just want to say congratulations to the new losers and good luck to those going in this week. I have not had my computer up and working so it is tough to get caught up on everyone. 12 more days until I join the losers club and I am so full of emotions. I started my diet and so far no loss...in fact I gained a pound I don't understand that one?? I guess that is why I am having surgery since I am doomed when it comes to the diet world. I would like to hear from all you that are having surgery on the 23rd we all need to support eachother. For those that have just had surgery please share with me how it felt. did you have it lap or open? how are you doing keeping stuff down? Do you regret having it done? I go through so many emotions about whether I am making the right decision but I know it is what I need to do. I can't wait to see where I am next year. Good luck to everyone ronda

Hi Rhonda, I started my liquid diet yesterday and have surgery the 19th- I know just how you feel- I am so hungry and just want the next 8 days to fly by. Give it time to lose some pounds. Maybe just keep off the scale and keep busy doing other things- I promised myself not to weigh till surgery day Believe in yourself and remember our goal- each step of the way is met and conquered!! cj

Ronda, Hang in there...we are going through a roller coaster of emotions. I feel like the days are spinning out of control and I can't get everything done I need to do. I also seem to have a lapse of short term memory. It is really nuts. I am scheduled for the 23rd, I have my pre-op the 20th. I am waiting to hear from a friend who was done on monday, she is in the hospital still, hopefully I will hear from her this weekend. She is making a web page for our support group in Colorado Springs, CO Take care hang in there. Deborah J
