Hi bby! You sound like all of us! We all were excited and scared. It's a wonderful and rare opportunity to change our lives around. It comes with discomfort and hard work, but it is worth it. Stay in touch with us!

Hey baby oh, I know how you feel. Believe me I know how you feel. The night my son was born 40 years ago as I was getting ready to get in the truck and go to the hospital I changed my mind about giving birth. I said "oh no no no no no no no no no no I don't think I'm going to, I changed my mind. I need to go home, really you don't have to take me to the hospital I'm fine just take me home I'll be fine I don't want to do this I don't want to do this just let me go home and everything will be fine."
Of course I went and now I have most beautiful son on Earth.

He is handsome. Reminds me of Luke Perry. Guess you popped him out, like a poptart! No problem. I've been really stressed, have anxiety and they took away my best medication to battle it, for now. I have purchased a big puppy for my service dog. A huge responsibility. I have osteoarthritis of both knees, runs in both sides of our family, the wt . Doesn't help. Some people stated when the weight comes off I should be able to walk. Ok, most of the cartridge is gone gone gone. And a surgeon won't touch my knees due to multiple bone spurs. I am unable to walk but a couple of steps. So I use a wheelchair. I tend to fall down and have decided to improve my life with a service dog. That's my security. If I don't need her, I'll donate her. Service dogs are super expensive. Anyway I fell apart at the vets yesterday as I was overwhelmed feeling like a failure, as I had to have my wonderful husband pick her up and put her in a grocery cart. She had poo on her because she did so in the car on the way to vet. So there I was,my husband pushing me and I pushing her in a cart, my service dog in training. There was a lot more yesterday but lol I'll not tell you everything. Just a really horrible day.had to vent.

The unknown is always scary and this is super scary because it affects so much of our life and could include death if there are complications. However with that said, driving has the risk of death. Walking down the street. You have come this far, let yourself be nervous it is totally normal. This is an exciting huge life changing event and you will make it out just fine! The end results will be well worth the cold feet you have now. Do you feel fully aware of everything, what they are doing, how it will affect you in the short term and long term? Be sure you have NO unanswered questions. As long as you have everything clear and understand it all you should be fine. I wish you luck!! I have my revision surgery June 12! We can do this!

Haha, love it! Eat apple pie a la mode and just find a haunted house to reverse the damage. If only...
You might evacuate that lie after being scared, then no calories. I wonder how many calories get taken in, if someone tossed their cookies. I bet, just like everything else, natural skinny people would not gain one pound, the overweight look at the food and gain 1000. I feel there is not a balance going on.

I have certainly seen people who stay very skinny and have big appetites. It doesn't make any sense to me, but it is undoubtedly a scientific phenomenon. As to obesity, where you're a hundred pounds or more overweight, part of the pathology is being dishonest with yourself about how much you're eating. It is simple science. If you count those calories and then count how many calories you burn you will see that you're not losing anything because you're eating too much. That's one of the things that bariatric surgery is good at doing. To a certain extent your appetite will be curbed.
If I was someone to explain weight gain to me, I would not ask the person who's already overweight. I would ask the skinny person who hopefully had a degree in science or medicine.
I wish all the mythology around gaining weight would be corrected so people wouldn't lean into a scenario where they gain weight because they learned if that was the way to lose weight.
