Guys only , and women only take over the thread hahaha , reverse psychology I need a laugh big time with how my day is going lol anyone feel free to tell a joke.

Very excited this morning. Good things have been coming my way all week. I finally got over my stall (which ended up being dehydration) and have entered "onederland". I have gone from a 40J to a 36H (start weight at 256). And to wrap it up even more nicely, my husband had an very successful surgery for his battle with cancer this Friday. Very excited and happy and a million other things.

I am tomorrow as well. Have to report at 6:30 am. Prayers for everyone!

Good luck!! I know you’re so excited!! Can’t wait until I’m there!

Don't feel bad, I don't get it either...

Jess you've made a life changing decision to have WLS when hungry try getting your mind onto other things and your cravings will go away. You've been given a golden ticket, continue to use it wisely and you'll achieve many personal goals as well as getting healthier for you and your family.

Congratulations on the approval and on taking the journey to a better life. My pre-op diet was an 800-900 calorie per day diet that consisted of a mixture of protein shakes and prepackaged foods that the doctors office sold. Some was good some was pretty bad but it worked. Lost 23 pounds in that 2 weeks despite a couple of weak moments - a last Panera's Italian sub. Told the doctor and he said he was there to do surgery and not take confession:) First couple of days will be difficult but you can do it. Just keep your eyes on the final goal - a new you.

I was in the hospital for two days and two nights. The things I took that I actually used: Laptop + charger Kindle + charger phone + charger lip balm!!! - This was a life saver! Longjohns/jammie pants Towel - everyone should know where her towel is (I sleep with mine) The things I took that I didn't use: Extra set of clothes + slippers Toothbrush - one was provided My daily medication - they had this ready for me every day Real book - it was too dark in the evening and at night to read a regular book, but the kindle worked well My cpap machine - I know I should have used it, but it was way too much of an issue with everything else going on. The things I wish I had: Noise cancelling headphones/earbuds - my neighbor (I was in a semi-private room) had her tv on ALL THE TIME! I really hated that and had them turn it off for the second night. Hand game/toy/puzzle to fiddle with when my eyes needed a break from my screens.

I eat dried garbanzo beans because I have G6pd
