 I have been struggling for the past few days. i cant seem to stop eating. I have been eating until i feel sick, something i used to do. i am only 60 pounds down no where near my goal weight. I have been stuck in the house withis hurricane and all I can do is eat. How to I get back on the bandwagon and not make this a habbit? 

Has anyone had really bad complications from Roux-En-Y? I would like to get some feed back from the OH community before I share my story.

I can't believe that I am three days from surgery! It is so sureal! I'm having a hard time conceptualizing it! This has been quiet a journey and knocking at change's front door... just waiting to walk through. I've had some unlikely sources of support and people that have disappointed me along the way. In the end, I've come to realize that this is for my health. My life will be affected if I don't change my behaviors. Tomorrow is going to be my last solid food for awhile... I am eager to get to Tuesday. Hopefully everything goes as planned... I'll see you on the other side!

I got my date! March 22, 2011! How can you be so excited for something but so terrified at the same time? It blows my mind that I can now have a count down! i got my time off approved at work and I'm almost done my pre-op work ups! I'm entertaining the idea of going to counseling because i am struggling with some of the pre-op goals which makes me nervous for post surgery. Today I found about frothing... ewwww gross... I hope I am not one of those lucky people! I think I need to start making friends on here so I can have some people to talk to because I'm finding it tough with my non WLS supporters.

I'm starting out my OH page! I will be having surgery sometime in March but my date has not been nailed down yet. I'm finished all but one of my pre-op "hoops"
My sleep study has been the worst so far! I was miserable and couldn't fall asleep until very late in the morning---oxymoron?
I'm just anxious to get my actual date so that I can start my countdown!!!
I find my nerves getting rattled from time to time... I hate puking and not looking forward to that as a side effect of this surgery!
For the most part... family and friends are supportive. I think they all have some doubts and of course worry, after all this is a MAJOR surgery.
Excited to start my WLS journey!
