Melissa that fudge sounds good if I were actually hungry!!!! I had a few spoonfuls of cottage cheese, some watered down cream of wheat with unflavored protien powder in it, and some yogurt. I am still really gassy when I move too fast and whathot I can feel gas pains running thoruhg my body. I am not really wanting to eat but i am eating to make sure I get some sort of nutrition.

Well you are still part of the Feb crowd too!!!!

Mel I feel your pain girl! Holy crap this gas is annoying. I want nothing to do with food really either and the gas is a killer.

Pam, thank you so much for that!!! I am feeling a bit better. Granted it is 3:45 am and I wish I was sleeping but I am sure the Lortab will take care of that soon. Righ now my back is hurting from not being able to lie flat. MY stomach is alot less gassy which was a huge problem earlier. Luckily my kids will be at school and day care tomorrow (well actually today I guess) and my Mom will be picking them up to watch them until my husband is home from work. That will help me sooo much. Ready to lose you did not ruin your band on day 3 sweetie. Your liquids are probably just moving right through it and then you were facing some massive gas. It takes a lot more than 1 day of overeating to strech ourself out and you are not going to do in on chicken broth. I still don't even want to look at food.

Silry, maybe a book to read. I read a little bit at the hospital only becasue I got so bored with the tv. Oh and lip balm. My lips were so dry and my chap stick was a saving grace.

I want to cry and cry now. Probably partly because I feel like sh*t and my husband is at work and I am home with the kids. I need someone to babysit me. The part is due to the fact that I feel this way and I did this to myself. I am sure the emotions are normal. I was having really bad meltdowns last week due to the fact that I wanted to eat and could only have optifast.

Well ladies and gents I am home. I am also in quite a bit more pain than I thought I would be in. I have been walking around and I am missing my morphine though. I guess when i woke up in the OR right after my surgery I looked around and said "wow I am f--king alive" Pretty funny stuff.

Thanks guys. It is 6am here and I am getting ready to go. Talk to you in a couple days!

OKay i need to go to sleep or something. I am such a baby freaking out here!!!!!!!!!

Mel I am looking so forward to things like cottage cheese, creamed soup, and sugar free pudding. We will definitly ahve to compare notes.

You too Mel. I am scheduled at 10:30 and I need to be there at 8:00. I cannot believe it is almost here. I have been a mess of emotions today.

OMG Tracy I am so freaked out!!!!!!! I can't believe it is almost tomorrow.

I have been dealing with the same thing.

Thanks Susannah! At least this optifast is doing something for me.

GOOD LUCK FEB5TH BANDSTERS!!!!!!!!!!!! Holy crap that means tomorrow is the 6th. I am really scared now!!!!!!!!!

Glad to hear you are doing okay sus.

Faithmd I want to go to Cedar Point too!!! The last time I was there I was so close to not fitting on the coaster that I have been scared to go back. I know now there is no way i would fit since I am way bigger. I can't wait to get back there and ride!!!

Eek!!! Two more days. I can't belive it is almost here!!!!!!!!

Oh he is not being unsupportive. I actually insisted on the dinner because even though he said it was fine not to go and he was okay with that I know that deep down he really did want to go out. If my nurse had said no I could not eat anything then I know he would have insisted we stay home. I had a very small salad...basically just lettuce with a tiny bit of dressing. I am actually ok with it. He knows we are not having any cake on monday and he is okay with that.

I cannot wait until I can start a thread like this. I want some boots sooo bad. Congrats!!!!!!!

Okay so my husband birthday is on Monday and of course he wants to go out to dinner. Well my nurse said I could have a salad if we went out but only if it were on saturday (tonight). Who ever would have thought I would be excited about eating salad? Anyhow my question is do you guys think that is a good idea? I am a little freaked out that I will want to eat everything in sight and will not be able to stop once I eat the salad, but at the same time I really want to eat it. Ugh.

Congrats all!!!!!!!!

Congrats wannabe!!!!!!!

Chris- most doctors want you on some sort of a diet to shrink your liver before surgery. Some have very strict guidelines to follow and others don't seem to mind. It is the doctors personal preference.

Good luck today everyone!!!!!!!!!!! Dori – 02/02 Greg - 02/02 Susannah - 02/02 Cindibear1 – 02/02<O:p</O:p Wanna be thin – 02/02 – pending
