Hope all went well! Happy days ahead!

That is not very nice! I guess this would be one reason for me to be glad I'm single!

I'm not telling either one of my parents.....syne after the surgery. I don't want them to try to talk me out of it OR worry about me. I told my two sisters and a handful of friends.

I made these for my sons a few days ago..we all loved them!!!

' Good thinking....

....this is one of my fears....that once I have this surgery I will continue to see myself fat...no matter how small i get!!

This thread is great! It makes me feel so normal. :-)

So sorry scaredoftheunknown. I sent my previous post before reading this one. Congratulations on getting your date!!! We could have been sleeved on the same day, however I'm glad you thought it through instead of stressing yourself out.

How did it go Scaredoftheunknown?

Congratulations cegull!

Hope you're doing well Pinkeye!

You are awesome Klyn! .....keeping this up so soon after your surgery...very thoughtful. Thanks!

Hang in there.....I've heard it gets better with time. I'll find out in 10 days!!!! Great idea using your iphone as a reminder....I'm going to steal that one! :-)

You can't put a price on a longer, active, healthier life....just keep looking at it that way when you make those monthly payments! Best wishes to you. :-)

Hello scaredoftheunkmown. Yes, Kaiser requires us to complete a two hour pre-op course so we are fully prepared for surgery day. They go over how to prepare the night before, what to bring to hospital, what to expect before and after surgery and what to do when you get home. The NUT came in and re-iterated post-operative diet...(since most attended the original class months ago!) It was very comprehensive. When you say you "started CPAP machine but haven't gotten your own"?....I'm not sure I fully understand. It doesn't matter if you own the machine or not.....it only matters whether you have been using a machine every night for a minimum of two months. I would suggest you DO NOT "stretch the truth" with the Dr. on this... because having surgery with "untreated" sleep apnea is a very dangerous risk to take. Just stay focused and I KNOW you can lose those two more pounds! It was nerve-wracking for me to lose those 20 pounds but I made it!...22 lbs. I couldn't be more excited. My surgery is August 27th....I won't know what time until the 24th. Keep on keepin on! It will all be worth it in the end.

That's awesome!

Yum! This is definitely going in my recipe box!

I met with Dr. Le today for my pre-op appt. I made it to my pre-surgery goal weight....even under by two pounds! I signed my waiver, did bloodwork and attended the pre-op surgery class. It's feeling really, real now!

I HAD been addicted to Diet Dr. Pepper since ...forever. I haven't had one since the first week in May and I don't crave it at all anymore and I feel a whole lot better too. When I went off of it I had a "migraine type" headache for seven days. Hang in there....it's truly worth the detox pain! Now Vitamin Water Zero's, water and decaf green tea are my addictions. I hope I still like them after my surgery!
