wishing you well today and hope each day is easier.

that is awesome. You have really done well. That beautiful smile says it all.

well my story is a bit different because I was scheduled for Nov 7, did the two week pre op and one day clear liquid (wasn't bad at all) was about to be wheeled into surgery when doc comes in and says your blood sugars are too high we are going to reschedule you for Dec. 5. I was devastated to say the least. SO now I have been working hard to get my blood sugars down, still sorta eating the pre op diet which is shakes and one low carb meal. But I will start it 100% day after thanksgiving. and hope everything goes my way on teh 5th. I have been dealing with some sort of kidney uti or something since saturday, on an antibiotic and waiting for family doc to call and tell me what the tests showed, Hopefully just a uti that the anitbiotics will take care of and I can get some blood sugars down and will be a go for December 5th. I feel like I had kinda a trial run, so at least I know what happens up to a point. If I wasn't in pain from whatever this is I would be in great shape. I have lost 20 pounds on the since july so that is good.

hey gorgeousness

Very Happy for you. What a great gift to yourself. Sending you the very best of wishes. Hugs

Simply I am pulling for you girl. YOu will pave the way for me by a couple of days. We can do this. BUt doesn't it just gripe you that we are always at the mercy of others in doing their jobs correctly. Somedays I feel so out of control of my own life it irritates me to no end. Peaches sending you more prayers.

that is so wonderful. Yeah YOU. you are such an inspiration, thanks for sharing

so glad you are doing better. Hope you continue to a full recovery so you can get back on your journey. Praying for you. Gentle hugs my friend.

I don't even know what to say, you look so fantastic. I am so happy for your success and for all those yet to come. Wow just Wow.

welcome, sounds like you are off to a fantastic start. There is a wealth of information here and even more support. Join in, we want to travel with you through this awesome journey. during the ups and any downs that may come your way, we are here.

how very disappointing. I am so sorry. I wish there was something I could say that would help, but since I am in sorta the same boat, had my surgery rescheduled while waiting to go back to the OR, because of my blood sugars too high. Sent home, could eat normal for two weeks then another two week pre op diet, heck I am just staying on the pre op diet. I have come this far. So my surgery is Dec 5 when is yours?

praying for you. so glad you are getting the care you need. just relax and let them care for you. Hoping so much that get you fixed up and back on track.

Wishing you the very best. This is just yuck that you have to go through this again so soon. But hopefully they will get you all fixed up and you can really start your journey. Will be praying for you.

I will be very interested in seeing how you go with this. 80% of the reason I am having this surgery is due to the diabetes. I am so insulin resistant and they just keep pumping me fuller and fuller with it and it causes weight gain and inflamation in every part of my body. Somedays I can't life my hands above my heard to blow dry my hair, Wising you the very best and hoping so much this is the answer to oru diabetes problems. or that at least the need for insulin is lessened.

trisha Wow you have been through a bunch. Is your diabetes better now? I sure hope so. This is a great place for information and for support, Thanks for sharing your story, Please tell us more of how your recovery has been ect

peachee, sending you the very best of thoughts and wishes for a safe surgery and fast recovery. I will be praying for you and thinking of you tomorrow. Big Hugs to you sweetie

Ellie you are doing so awesome. Just checking those goals off one right after the other, You make me smile and inspire me.

I just got an email that they were out of the vitamins that I ordered and they are hoping for a shipment first of the week, but no guarentees, they are going to go ahead and send me the rest of my order which was protein. I knew something must be wrong, cause this place has just always been so effeicent and reliable. They are located here in Indy and I have met the owners at a support group on the other side of town. Send them an email I am sure they will get back to you.

fantastic ladies, such a milestone, and such a mental hurdle to get over, I am so happy for you, bye bye 300's bye bye
