I think she is just saying I want to keep you safe and sound. I had showed my mom the sites and surgeries on youtube and told her to ask me any questions about the surgery. She had started to ask the questions and felt a little safer, then she wanted to know more of my DR. and I told her of him and in doing so I told her that I have been watching him and getting information for over 2 months. Then I asked her of her last surgery and how did she choose her Dr. and how much research she had done......," Well, none. Kaiser picked him out for me." she said. She hasn't said anything negative about the surgery sense.

I'm laughing right now, because on the pre surgery side, I am refusing to buy the next size up jeans. I have only one pair of jeans that fit me right now. I bought them in mens style because they will fit my husband after I have my weight loss and they are snug! I have clothes in my closet from when I was in High school ( I wore 501's and had 28 inch hips). I'm glad to know I not the only one with hopeful clothes.

Hey how is all your prep going? I have started my pre-op diet, so far so good. A little under 2 weeks to go. You are doing well with 6 kids...i don't know I could handle that! I have a colonoscopy next Thursday and start my liquid diet the day before that. I'm not looking forward to it, I get real crabby when I get hungry. I am hopping my husband will take the kids out to eat or make the meals so I am not tempted to eat. I believe because my children are scattered in age it is easier. I had the oldest 2 closer in age. I didn't think I would want more children, but as they got older and didn't need me as much I wanted another child and so on. The joke my oldest daughter makes is that all of her children's aunts and uncles aren't born yet, lol. Just 2 weekends away for us. Have you packed? I haven't as yet. I do have everything I can think of set aside. I always feel I may be missing something. I am determined to be one of the lucky people who do not have pain after the surgery........do you think that will work? lol

Congratulations!

Im happy for you! Let us know how it is on the other sideof the sleeve.

Congratulations, and welcome! I love reading of others' experiences going to Mexico. I will be there this month ( different Dr ).

Congradulations, you're a September sleeve sibling!

Welcome,I look forward to seeing you on here.

Kami, I love those cozzies.

You're opening up the door to a new life today! Congradulations!

Well done!

The 22nd will come around too quickly I am sure. My work is keeping my crazy busy. How old are your kids? Bring on the smaller groups, breath out in safety lol Only 3 more Saturdays! My children are 23 daughter( Married w/ 2 grandsons), 19 son ( he will be going with me if his passcard comes in on time),10 daughter ( the bossy one), 4 son ( all boy), and 3 year old twin girls. The youngest 4 are still at home. Do you have children? What are their ages, if you do?

I thought you acted very gallant.

Or putting your arm through a sleeve to find it won't go on because arm is too big. Thank you Jesus for stretchy material!

I've told my immediate family and they are for what makes mom happy ( they also have seen the work I have done to not gain more weight). My mom is a worry wort ( I should have just showed up skinny one day). I've told my best friend and she started dieting so she can get my clothes I grow out of, and I have told my cousin ( like a sister ) who has had the lap band done. She had told our family as a whole and they talk behind her back. So I decided not to tell them. Is your family and friends supportive? I think my cousin is more excited for me than me. I go back and fourth on ' what would happen to my family if I die, to, I wish it was the 22 already so I can get rid of the extra weight. I hate having to breath up instead of out ( I should just undo the button on my pants) LOL.

I keep forgetting to reply to each person

oops I forgot to reply directly to you

Buckeye girl only 11 days!!!!! Im so happy for you! I laughed, because I refuse to buy bigger clothes before surgery so when I sit my jeans fold back and my fat purges over lol, can't wait to be rid of that!

I love your blow out meal! My Dr isn't putting me on optifast, I get a liquid diet 3 days before,set off by a laxitive...yea. I am going to set up a housekeeper to take care of my families mess after the surgery. I don't think I will want to clean up after I have been gone a week. Most people say they feel great after, but I would like to pamper myself just a bit. As far as post op, I have been researching the best tasting protein and buying the ones I think I might like. So far I got the chicken broth, the peanut butter chocolate and the special K pink lemonade. I haven't tried the isopure yet, do you know if it's good? I'm looking forward to buying goal clothes. I am looking forward the week off from chores and next year going on vacation and having better vacation pictures. What are you looking forward to?

I get this way too. I find it easier to not look up any vsg and to stay away from the computer for a day or so. It brings me back to the basic things. best wishes

Congratulations on your date

Thanks Sarah, Do you know if it is common practice to pull it out of your nose after your awake. This is the first time I've heard of it.

Wait...I haven't had this surgery yet! Your awake when they pull the tube out of your nose? I thought it went down the throat. ugh
