This is so funny! I will have to chime in. Being able to paint my toenails without doing acrobatic moves.

Bending over to pick up something off the floor and not feeling like i'm squeezing all my internal organs or mooning the entire room.

Being able to cross my legs like a lady

Climbing stairs without going into cardiac arrest

Riding a bicycle without having to call 911 once I've peddled about 3 times.

Bending down and lifting back up only to find my shirt has risen up my big belly showing my 9 month pregnancy

Feeling and looking like I'm 9 months pregnant and 4 cm dilated

Putting on a shirt that I could fit last week and feeling like the incredible hulk

I could go on and on, but I'm pretty sure you guys get the ideas.

I also waited to book my flight and just got raped at the checkout! The price has increased by at least 200 dollars in the last few days. I should have gotten the ticket days ago, or even weeks for that matter. It's finally real though. Tell me again what should I pack?

Great for both of you! I'm so relieved to hear all went well! I can't wait to hear all the details. Tell diamond I said hi!

Ok remind me again who's going on the 26 to Dr Garcia at Mi hospital? I'm going alone. Getting a tad bit nervous.

Great! I hope all is well. Can't wait to hear from you. Keep us posted.

Still excited! I fly in' date=' same day surgery![/quote']

Just checking in on you. I pray all is well.

Congratulations! Let us know how you're doing as soon as you're up to it.

It's the morning of and I'll be at the hospital in 2 hours!! Can't believe I managed 6 hrs of sleep! I can't wait to post on the other side os surgery! Wishing all the 2/15/13 sleevers good luck today on their surgeries.

Good luck! We will be waiting for updates!

And I thought I was alone. The son is drinking my Protein Shakes, the babies eating all the ice cream and chicken broth, my husband eating all the salad. I could give them all a swift kick in the rear end! (Not the 6 & 8 yr old). Lol! I'm just ready for this to be over with already.

OMG! The day is fast approaching! I'm so excited for you. Can't wait to read all the updates and progress reports. I'm right behind you!

Well I'm beginning to experience this liquid in liquid out. . Not fun having to have a Kung fu grip on the cheeks you know.!!

So glad to hear that all went well and you're having a smooth recovery. Take it easy and get plenty if rest.

But you are being REDUCED...and that is a good thing! This last week before surgery is so hard...wish I could just hop on the operating room table and get it over with!!

I know right. I just got an email saying that the Marriott is now requiring a $100 deposit either cash or credit card for the rooms. Did anyone get the same info?

lunch

This is what I'm reduced to.....

Sannah,

Thank God! I'm so glad to hear things are turning around for the best! Hooray to you for FINALLY being able to eat some real food!!!! I'm doing a happy dance for you also!

You are so strong and brave to have gone through all you have been through and still remain in good spirits. Your outlook had always remained positive.

Take it slow and all will be fine!

To SweetTee who wrote: OMG! What am I doing' date=' LOL!,

I know exactly how you are feeling! Every once in awhile I think: "Maybe they (and you know who "they" are...I'm sure you have some of "them" around you) are right and I am absolutely crazy to be doing this!". But then I calm down and get back to that place deep inside of me that knows I am doing the right thing.[/quote']

I most definitely have some of "them" around me. I try to tune out all the negativity but you can't help but wonder "what if they're right" and something does happen. At the end of the day it is what it is and there's no turning back now. My respiration are getting a bit faster "tad bit of anxiety" when I ponder on the thoughts to long,

Everything has been good' date=' I reached one week Post op yesterday. Just tryna her through these days of Boredom. Lol I'm home doing nothing during this recovery. It's tuff lol but I'm doing great no real pain just discomfort. Still trying to find a comfortable way to sleep.[/quote']

So glad to hear you're ok. My day is fast approaching. I'm nervous as he&$ and just ready to get it over with already. Preop diet is slowly coming along,(slowly meaning I've snuck a bite of candy here spoon of rice crispies there while the kids were eating . ) I'm really to nervous to eat though. The day before the diet started I ate everything in site out of pure nervousness. Oh well, soon I will be where you are. Did you have to take off from work? How long will you be home for?

Did anyone else's body hurt during the pre op diet

Yes, I felt so achy all day yesterday. I thought it was old age, lol

Yes I am nervous! Thanks for the pics. OMG! What am I doing, LOL! I'm so ready.

Sade326, how are you doing? Can hardly wait to hear from you girl.

Glad to hear the issue with the eyesight cleared up. Take it easy and get plenty of rest.

Thanks for the update. So glad that surgery is complete and you're on to recovery. Rest and recuperate. You had a long day yesterday.

SoCalDixieGal I'm just popping in to check up on you. I pray all is well and you are having a smooth recovery. Update us when you're up to it.
