Kayla - YAY!! I am at home, just got up, have to be at the hospital at 9 so have a while. Very excited!

Hey Debbie! Funny I find myself reading your post right around the "in 9 hours" mark too! I have to be there at 9am and here I am awake! Not too worried here, have had so many surgeries before, then I start thinking I SHOULD be worried! UGH!! Ready for it to be done! See you on the losers bench!

Toyia sounds like I will be right before you - somewhere around noon

Welcome Melanie! Congrats on your sleeve! Glad you found us!

PhatGurl - I am so sorry for your loss! Have a safe trip to Philly. Sending prayers.

Lori I didn't do a food funeral so much either. I did eat some of my favorite things but didn't go overboard on anything. I figure I can have most of it again, in moderation, after I am at goal. My surgery is tomorrow

Glad to here you are home and settled in, doing well. Thanks so much for sharing!! I sure hope I sleep good in the hospital - I am used to 2 dogs in my bed Yes, BIG hug to your wife - glad she was with you through it

BigMan - Thanks so much I love the support I am getting here and glad you are getting it too:)

thanks! I understand its quick

I just tend to click around myself - it's good to do that as sometimes you find a question you have been thinking of has been answered but maybe not where you would have looked! This is a great place for support! There are also some facebook groups for VSG that are closed or secret if you are not telling many people. I have found so much support both paces!

wow I feel honored - team captain! I have to say I was never good at sports let alone a captain of anything haha! Mamamckenzie - You are a great announcer and keep us moving along!! Go team GO!!!

aww thanks ! I don't think I was the first person to start posting in here but sure was excited when people did! I am so glad we have such a huge group of people this month - it will be so good to share!

I am glad there are so many of us - really looking forward to sharing the experience with everyone!

Good luck Kayla! You will probably be done before they even start on me - mine is around 11am (noon your time). I am so excited - I am suppose to be there at 9am I wanna go tonight LOL So anxious!! I know today will fly by!

Thanks!

I have been similar - lost bout 9 lbs over all, usually staying around 800 calories. I feel like I have some fluid retention myself and of course Aunt Flo showed up Thursday. I have to do bowel prep today - drink a whole bottle of magnesium citrate - thinking that ought to show on the scale in the AM - ick! I'm also only to have one protein drink today and one food from my list - probably cream of wheat as I feel like it will stick with me best then only clear liquids. I had to go to the Dr office Friday for my preop meeting and was only down about 3 lbs since the time before and they didn't say a word.

Owl I added you to our **OFFICIAL** line up! There are some others on the 16th as well!

everyone has been added to the **OFFICIAL** Line up through here

added all of you

Are you on blood pressure meds?? If so, you may need a lower dose or to stop them!!

Trizzy I would have done the same!! Glad you are settled!

My doctor told me today he won't even let us out until we have 64 oz of fluid in one day - he said if you only get 32 oz in one day you need to get 64 oz + 32 oz the next day. Don't get behind!

hang in there Kayla! I have lost about 8 lbs on my pre-op over the last 11 days - just not losing like some but anything is better than nothing! Our day is coming!!

yeah!! you share my date now!! I will change you on the calendar!
