Tomorrow is my big day! I am excited and nervous! Wish me luck, I will see you guys on the other side!

Well, it is just 12 hours before I go to the hospital. I have gotten past the bout of nerves that I had yesterday and I am now excited and looking forward to this new journey. I am drinking my final protein shakes that I have to drink. I will have some jello and broth. I wonder if I will even sleep tonight. I have an hour drive to the hospital so I will be getting up at 4 to get ready. I have decided to wear some slip on workout pants and a tee shirt to be comfortable. I am contemplating just wearing slip on crocs so I don't have to worry about ties or anything. Well, I am going to go for now but I will keep you updated tomorrow. Take care everyone, Jen

These aren't the best. I'm going to take more after my shower today and make sure my camera flash is off first. Despite all the bruising I'm post op day 4 today and I still haven't needed any Vicodin at all. I'm very happy with my results. I had the no drain method Tummy tuck.

Sorry for the trick but I wanted to say thank you to so many posters who have heard it all. Wishin you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. May we all continue to lose and maintain our goals. And thanks again everyone. Cheri

What worked for me was walking... even though you might feel some discomfort walk as much as you can and you will see how all the gas pains go away fast. Good luck! Your going to feel great. Zuly

I think that some of your blog post might be better off as topics, especially since you're looking for advice. Also for me the recent blog post show up near the bottom of the page on the right so unless I'm looking specifically for recent blogs or I happen to be scrolling down to see the other forum topic (which doesn't happen very often) I miss new blog entries

My first goal was to get under 100kg - done! My next goal is to wear a size 14. Currently at size 16-18 on the bottom, 16-14 on top but this time last year I was squeezing to get into a 26 so am well on my way! My other goal is to get off my last blood pressure tablet.

That poster would be me. it wasn't so much Dr oz himself that made wls look so bad to my mom, it was the way things were presented by the guests. there were some things that were misrepresented, like the amount of food eaten in a day and some of the negative side effects. i don't have a problem with Dr oz in general. i think he tries to present things in a pretty neutral way, but the show didn't seem that way to my mom. i told her about the article you had mentioned, and she was surprised that he was so pro-wls. maybe that helped change her opinion a little, idk. i personally have already done a lot of research and have pretty much decided that lap band is right for me. i plan on going ahead with or without her support, but things would be much easier with it. i rely on her pretty heavily for support emotionally and also with help at home since my boyfriend is often gone long hours and at odd hours sometimes and because of my medical conditions i really need the help sometimes.

That is what I am hoping for! January is pretty busy, so between pre-op appointments, eating behavior classes, my graduation, and the two week pre-op diet, It should go pretty quick! Yay!

That is excellent, keep up the great work... I was banded Oct. 3rd and down from 242 to 195... So excited.
