Hi there!

[TamPerez111]

I'm new to this site.. So I thought I should introduce myself . My name is Tami, I'm 28,an army wife and the mother of 2. I am getting the gastric bypass surgery on Mon. Aug. 15. And I am soo nervous! I think the hardest part about it is having to constantly defend yourself from other people when it comes to the surgery.. And then trying to tell yourself that they are wrong and you are making the right choice... Anyways that's a little about me and what I'm struggling with when it comes to the surgery at this moment lol. I look forward to getting to know everyone

Hi and welcome. Wow your surgery is really close! Have you been doing a pre-op diet? I know what you mean about other people and their opinions so I have told practically no-one about it except family, afterwards will be soon enough

Hope it all goes well for you

Lol I wish I could be stationed in the uk instead of texas! Im sure the scenery is much nicer where your at lol.

And yes I am currently on a pre op diet. Its not bad compared to some of the others iv heard of. I have to drink this sugar free shake 4 times a day and then I can have a small meal with no fat, carbs, or sugars! Mine is only for a week before surgery tho.
