I'm on the 25th too! I was crying last night thinking about some of the skin pictures I have seen. You look great woman! What was your start weight?

I'm on the 25th. Had my EKG and blood draw today. Found out my surgery is at 12:30 which means I will go 12 hours with no food or water. I don't get that. I know I'm going to be a crabby bitch because when I had my endoscopy I was so thirsty. We had a preop class where she told us we basically have to get up and walk around once an hour except if we are asleep. I'm emotionally exhausted. I start liquid diet Tuesday. I tried Bari Advantsge and Injury and liked them both. I might just get some of each kind to keep from getting burned out on it.

Call your surgeon.

Just saw an ad for this, you pay a monthly fee and rent clothes and can return them for free. It's like netflix for plus size clothes. I'm thinking I might try it out to get me through until I'm down below a size ten. Has anyone tried it?

I'm 5'7 I'm the same height but I never looked like that at 180!

How tall are you? Wow!!!

Oh I'm determined!!! And I'm going to make UHC pay for messing with me by getting everything possible we can get done this year after deductible and out of pocket is met! Lol.

Got my date today after three years. Yes three years. Hallelujah!!!!!!! I can't believe it. I'm on the 25th.

I wish I weren't at work because I want to scream! Finally got my insurance and hospital to get me approved! A nurse should be calling me to set a date. I'm thinking it will be April. Only took three years.

I think I might be starting my pre op diet early because my stomach is so nervous!!! Good luck to you

Mine just took two days thank god!

Is it blood or urine? How long does it take to get the results?

It came back negative! Time to start smoking again! Lol just kidding.

Hi young ladies! I just wanted to ask if you have heard of the difference between physical hunger and head hunger? Are you working on figuring our ways to get your needs met other than your favorite foods from the past? I'm 42 and you guys are so lucky that you are so young and have the rest of your lives ahead of you! I wasted so many years feeling like crap about myself and I would trade any kind of food to be able to look back at my twenties and thirties and see a happy healthy me! Good luck to all of you!

I'm really scared too. I know I'm having it sometime in the next few months. I was just looking at before pictures of plastic surgery and I seriously am doubting my decision. I really like my breasts the way they are now and if I end up with them hanging down to my navel I am going to cry. I don't know if I would be able to get naked in front of my husband again. What am I doing? Sorry to thread jack but my stomach is in knots! We can't afford plastic surgery and don't have good credit. Good luck to you tomorrow!

If I have this in the morning am I going to be out of it all day until evening?

I had it Thursday morning, I slept pretty much all day. Friday I felt really weird all day but was ok. Last night I was cold and clammy, had a bad head ache, just felt like something was off. Today my stomach hurts like someone was poking around in it. Has this happened to anyone else?

I have to agree, I usually ignore cursive. I can't read it.

I don't know why but I'm really nervous about this.

When they do any needles do not watch them. Turn your head to the other side and focus on your toes on the opposite foot. I try to think about my toenails. It works. Once the IV is in you don't really feel it. I had my first last year when I had pneumonia. I got to the point where I was moving around and trying to hold my phone and the alarm would go off that I had stopped the flow. It didn't even hurt. You will be fine.

Can you use gum or patches?

Mine has no fee.

Loveit, I appreciate that. My wife married the big guy - hope she can adjust her tastes. Thanks, lol, now I'll have to have a conversation with her. I think some women like big men because it makes them feel smaller.

Just from one woman's perspective. I've always been more attracted to the runner or swimmer body type than the weight lifter type.

They told me not to drive at all tomorrow. Huh.
