Bump

I feel the same way! Have you ever been to a forum that 1)moves as fast as this one, 2) has such supportive people on it and 3) where every single member of the board knows what it's like to be obese? I haven't, and I love it here. I'm so glad the negative nellies have been banned.

How very exciting! This will be me in 4 days!!

I'm going to miss my family. I tear up when I think about it. I know it's only 6 days but I've never even left them overnight. :*(

Saturday.

I'm leaving early Friday morning at 4am to catch my 6:45am flight. Surgery on Saturday, the 2nd. I've requested to be first that day. So excited, and surprisingly, the days are flying. Amanda, you and I have been discussing this day for some time, can you believe how close we are now? Have you decided for sure what you're gonna do? Pm if you rather.

I'm wondering why you're wondering?

5 days! FIVE!! I'm so excited and ready to get this show on the road. Wrote short letters to my children and have my bags packed. Cashiers check and cash in my wallet, check. Gotta get the AT&T mx package and I think I'm ready!! I'm going to Tijuana to Hospital MI doctor, and will be sleeved by dr. Garcia. I feel very confident in my choice. . I have to wake up at 2:30 am to head out the door at 3:45. Gonna get to the airport around 4:45 and the plane leaves 2 hours later. I don't think I'll get much sleep thurs night. Lol i started my journey last April. I feel as though I've been trough a lot to get me to this point and being so close feels like a dream. I'm not well off and I haven't been thin since I was 16. I just keep repeating in my head "things like this never happen to me!" And it's happening. It's really truly going to happen for me. ( well, lord willing). Praise god! So I suppose this will be my countdown/update thread. )

Thanks so much for your thorough updated. So glad all is going well for you! Have a safe flight home!

Leaks, pulmonary embolism.

Why not have an all veggie day? Green smoothies are site to get you moving!! Also, chia seeds, soaked.

Orange man? Anyway, lol

Thanks for the reassurance, friends. <3 I definitely don't want to be stuck living this miserable life for any longer. Just last Friday I was at the mall looking in a store for a couple tshirts to take with me on my trip to mx. Wouldn't you know, the store I mostly wanted to look in (Missouri tigers shop), didnt have anything my size. I'm an xl or xxl, depending. That makes me feel like a freak every time. I just wanted a hot pink mizzou shirt for crying out loud! Oh it's even better when they DO have your size, but charge $3 more for the extra yardage. Big sigh. I'm tired of missing out on so much because of my low self esteem. Life B starts in less than a week. Kanes mom I know what day your surgery is. We are on the march 1 thread together. Hehe. Can I just get this over with already? Lol

Now. I don't *like* posting this because it seems attention grabbing to me, but. Hold me! Now that I realized that I'll be waking in the morning saying "5 more days", I'm starting to feel like I wonder if my feet will even carry me to the airport that day. (Mexico sirgery) thank god I got a script for Ativan for this (first) plane ride. I've never taken anything like that, but this is one of those times. During the day when the kids are awake and I'm busy, I feel fine. When they go to bed an all is quiet, and when I wake up at 4am because I can't sleep, I can't stop thinkng about it. "Am I really going to go through with this? This is huuuuge. " racing thoughts. I bought some calms forte, but realized I can't have herbal meds the week prior to. Sigh. I guess I'll just have to suffer. Too bad the Ativan is so addictive, if take half a day until then for these nerves. Anyway, talk me down please? Tell me stories about your nerves and how it all turned out A OK?? Pat my shoulder and say there there? This is all SO outside of my comfort zone. I'm just a small town woman. I'm a mommy and wife. I barely get out of the house, much less the country. And a plane? Fahgehtaboutit. Lets get on a plane, leave the country and while you're at it, let a stranger revamp your insides. Gah! Lol Deep breaths. I'm not scared. Just anxious about the unknown.

It's SO bad or you. I say you should never drink it again because of that. (Hug)

Was it dr. Alvarez niece? It's not all about being thin, it's about health, finding clothes that fit, etc.

I have to limit myself to one time a day, but I do have 2 servings. My first jar was gone in a day or 2. Oops.

Oops, my actual sirgery date is march 2nd, but im counting down the days until I leave for mx. I have the first stuck in my head so joined the thread.

Have you tried anything for it? Calms forte, rescuer remedy, melatonin?

I just got this stuff this week. I make a paste woth it by adding almond butter and a lil nectresse. It's yummy.

Thanks for replying. I was starting to think Noone would. I'm the cook in my family, actually, maybe I should just make nasty foods. Rofl. Kidding. I really think I'll be okay. It's just food, yanno?

$7 add on item.

Uh. We're covered, aren't we?
