Good luck ma'dear !!!

I'm thankful that I'm only required to do 7days on the pre-op liquids. I can't imagine 2wks.

I am looking forward to one thing the most. Being the Mom I want to be. Running and playing with my 4 fabulous children at the park, taking them swimming, teaching them to ride horses, and going for bike rides.

Thanks For understanding and for ya'll knowing exactly what I need to hear!

Thanks for the understanding Cherrybell! My Surgery is next friday April 22nd. Had a good talk with my hubby about making meals for the family and that I think it would be best if he handled it so I can avoid any temptations. (tonight sucked LOL I made BBQ Turkey meatloaf baked potatoes veggie and salad and couldn't eat any of it! I had strained cream of broccoli Soup (aka essence of broccoli soup) w/ a scoop of Protein powder in it. LOL) It's going to take time I know. I'm going to try the freezer pop again tonight w/ some iced tea to sip on. If all else fails...well I'll be well rested!

You Are SOOO FUNNY!

All surgery is more dangerous with "super-sized" people, which may mean that it was impossible for Ruby to have it done until she lost weight, and now she has the show so she's making money. Also agree that Ruby need to get to the bottom of her over eating. I am a survivor of childhood sexual abuse and can point to all the red flags in Ruby's life for that. It must be incredibly painful to either truly not remember it or work so hard to hide it.

So I'm a late night muncher, always have been. I'm concerned about dealing with my cravings during this next week of 100% liquids in prep for surgery. Any tips or encouragment? last night I had a SF freezer pop which helped, but I'm thinking I'm going to have to start going to bed when the kids do at 8pm LOL

Hey ya'll so my Surgery is scheduled for a week from Friday (April 22nd) I did some shopping over the weekend and wondered if I had forgotten anything important (started my liquid diet today...I think I've already peed my body weight in ounces at least!) I'll be on full liquids for the next 10 days pre-surg then 2wks after as well. It looks like A LOT of stuff I'm hoping that it will last 3wks so I don't have to go out shopping or send my husband out with 4 kids in tow. Anything extra will of course be used still once I get to the pureed stage :-D So I picked up 2 boxes of sugar free freezer pops (50 pops in all) 50 cans of Ready to Drink "Diet Shakes" (a mix of flavors) 1 small canister of powdered Protein (chocolate flavor) 1 Large canister unflavored Protein powder (to add to Soups and drinks) about 3 dozen cans and boxes of various soups and broths 2 bottles of V8 Flavored Diet Water bottles (2 boxes not sure the count) Is there anything else that I should have on hand for the first 2-3 weeks post surgery?

WOO This is a bit surreal. I never ever ever thought that I would sign up for weight loss surgery. But here I am 29yrs old, 340lbs and scheduled for VSG 5wks from now. Amazing. I'm all a bundle of nerves both good and bad ones. Looking forward to the journey to a healthier me...for myself, my husband, and our 4 great kids. I want more than anything to be able to run and play with them at the park and hopefully I'll be able to do that very very soon.
