oh my!

Well here i am 1 week away from my surgery. I am doing the pre-op diet and hating it of course. reality check ... surgery on friday how did it get here this fast? Is that a normal ?? will i start to panic more as i get closer to the day. I do not have much for support with family and friends I have been doing this all myself OH is where i come everyday and read you guys are my support. Keep up the good work!!

My sister who i travel back and forth with to work daily has not asked 1 thing about the surgery nothing nodda...nothing about my feeling or even given hers. (she is a toothpick)

my husband just said that he is scared and wished i would not do this. I love them both but this is about me and in 6 months they will see that i am ok.

Sorry about rambling just needed to talk.

 Its okay. I dont have much support with my family/friends either. They all think that I am not big enough to have the WLS but I am only 5'5 and 265 lbs. I have asthma now, thyroid issues, HB, and not far away from diabetes. My family history have everything else not to mention that I am only 34 years old. So my thought is that I know and God knows what is best for me and He will lead and guide me and my surgeons hand while I take this leap of faith towards a new healthier and happier life. 
I support you and I will be praying for you as well. Have a Happy Thanksgiving! BTW my surgery is scheduled for Dec 12th

You will do fine, and yes it is normal to feel this way. Not everyone wants to talk about it, but afterwards everyone has questions. They are probably all just scared for you, give them time. Time creeps up really fast and the last week of the pre-op sucks especially when you hit the clear liquids.

Hang in there, will be waiting for a response from you that everything is ok.

I will be sleeved on the following Monday after you...I too am not having great support from my family. They have all cried and asked me not to go through with it.  But here is my thought...it is my body, and as I cooked dinner right along side of Mom today I had sweat running down my belly from under my breasts, I had a bandana tied around my hair to protect my cooking....and by the time I was finished I was soaking wet underneath my apron.  When I took everything off and showed my mother that I was soaking wet and we even had the back door open letting the heat out of the kitchen, which wasn't really hot anyways, she never said a word.  She doesn't have any idea how it feels to live like this.

You are very right to say give me 6 months and you will see that I will still be here and I will be better than ever!  Thank you so much for that, and please continue to post so we can  support each other...

 I was sleeved in August and am down to size 14 pants from size 22.  This is just amazing. But what is really funny is that I have always been really hot.  NO sweaters for me in winter.  And that was when I lived in Wisconsin!

Now, sleeved,  and living in North Carolina, I feel like I have lost all my insulation.  I have had to put an extra down blanket on my side of the bed.  My husband just laughs.

You will be so happy - things change so fast if you just follow the rules.

I am so sorry that your family and friends are not very supportive.  If you ever need to chat please add me to face book i will in box you my name if you like.  I am hoping things go as smooth for you as it can get so you can show them all how well you will do and you will do great i am sure.  All the best to you on your start of a healthy new you.  xoxox  Lillian
