Thank you guys for wondering! I'm doing better! I've lost 12lbs since the day before surgery! Can't wait to eat some mashed potatoes or oatmeal or something with a little texture to it other than jello! Blah!! Tonight I was running a low grade fever but it's gone now. I've felt pretty good for theist part and appreciate you all for caring! Johnathan

LOL

I don't live here but my best friend does. I'm visiting

It's our day tomorrow! Good luck Tracey Lynn!! Mine is at 9am. I'll be thinking of you.

Yep' it's that time!! 9am! So ready yet so anxious! On my way to see my Dr now.

OK everyone, tomorrow is the big day!! 8:15am Kinda nervous/anxious but so ready for this!!

Good luck!!

That is awesome!! Congrats and welcome!

Hey everyone, I'm back in Louisiana (Abbeville). My surgery is tomorrow!! Me and my bestie that lives here got back from NOLA yesterday, had a blast and had some amazing seafood gumbo lol Anyway, just wanted to check in.

Thank you, I'm very excited!

Thank you, I'm very excited!

Actually I'm a lucky one that doesn't have a one or two week pre-op diet. Just one day before on liquids.

Thanks!!!

Y'all Im so close now! Only 5 more days to go until Wednesday gets here!!! Got my time of 8:15 but they told me it could change :-/ hopefully it'll stay that so I can get it done early! I'm leaving for Louisiana about 11am today! I need to go to sleep but I can't sleep idk im just so excites to be going with my bestie back to her house in Louisiana or what but I just can't sleep! We're going to New Orleans On Sunday and stayin the night, excited to do that before surgery! Anyway, wanted to check in since I haven't been on in.a few days! I'll make sure I get on the day of surgery and after surgery to update! Talk to you all soon! Oh and those of you going today, GOOD LUCK! Johnathan

Wow! Sounds like you just have all kinds of unsupportive people around you! Girl you keep your head high! You do what you need to do to make YOU happy! I just want to say in really sorry your going through this but you just keep moving along with it! Your gonna be so happy once you have your surgery! I'm 6 days away from surgery and so dang excited! Good Luck! Johnathan

I don't mind at all. Dr.Borland in New Iberia. My best friend lives close to there and I'm staying with her after surgery

To Use for your new utensils. Most people don't recommend eating with normal size bc they are just too large

That is not a con when you sweat like a ***** in church all summer long! I welcome being cold! You can only take so much off to cool off, especially when your a cow, you can always put more on to get warmer. I would love to be cold over sweating hot all the time!

Getting super excited!!! I'm so dang ready!

I don't know if it's the fact that I'm shelling out over $10,000 on a surgery or the fact that I'd be scared I'd blow my sleeve up but their is no way I'd be eating food within the first two weeks. Hungry or not, I'd rather not have a leak. We can't expect these to be a cure all. People, PLEASE follow your Dr's orders!

Only 10 days to go!!!!!!!!!!!! I am so dang ready for this! Stay in touch. Johnathan

Good Grief! This seems like its taking FOREVER! I just want my surgery and to start working on making myself an amazing life! Started out with exactly 30 days when I got my surgery date and now I'm down to 12, so it's been 18 days!!! I'm leaving a week from today to go to Louisiana, as most of you know my bestie lives there and that's why I'm having the surgery there and she will be taking care or me afterward. It happened to work out that she's here in GA right now bc her husband had to do some make up time with the Guard(reserve)and she came up with him. So, I have her and one of the kids to ride back to her house with me! I wont have a lonely drive which will be so nice! Not that I mind driving alone bc I love to drive and take road trips! We are going to NEW ORLEANS on 7/22 and stayin the night at the Sheraton French Quarter on Canal St about 2 1/2 blocks from bourbon! Got an AMAZING deal on the hotel! Got it for 86/night, their website books for $165/night! I got it on Hotwire.com bc it was one of the deals where it hides the hotel name and info until after u buy it which was fine bc i knew it was 4 star and was one of 5 hotels in the French Quarter bc of what their website says and I'd stay at any for that price lol....anyway just wanted to share my awesome deal! I also got a great deal for the hotel for after the Dr for 2 days, paid 76/night and it's at Holiday Inn Express and they charge upwards of $125/night so not a bad deal either! I'm honestly thinking about moving to Louisiana IF her and her husband don't move back to GA bc he's interviewing up here tomorrow. I'd love to have her back bc I miss seeing her more often BUT it sure is nice to go visit her there in Louisiana. The people there are so nice and accepting, it's just a nice place to visit and live. She is even contemplating not wanting to move bc she loves it there which is amazing to hear her say that! She has gotten close with his family which has been great, as well as his family has been able to get close with their two kids. I know...rambling! Oh, I'm Day 10 CLEAN OF SMOKING!!! Loving every bit of it! This is one of my biggest accomplishments ever and I'm so proud of myself! It feels good to be a NON SMOKER now! I don't smell like smoke, my car smells good! No more cough, it's gone already! I can tell my smell is improving already. Anyway I think I'll end with that bc I've written a lot! Lol Thanks for EVERYONE'S support through this! Johnathan

Good grief!! That is amazing!!! I hope I can lose like that! Keep it up and you'll be at goal in no time! I can't wait for surgery and get in the gym with a trainer so I can know what to do to get optimal results!
