  1. Thanks Tab I'm VERY nervous at this point....I mean totally excited, but right now, the official day before my nerves are shot. Not enough Xanex in the world seems to be helping :-(

  3. Auntie Vick & Brickhouse, I'm LOSING it! Tomorrow is the official day and my nerves are shot. No amount of Xanex seems to be able to settle the nerves. I'm VERY excited, yet VERY, VERY nervous. It's beyond real now. Tomorrow I am to arrive at Albany Medical Center at 5:45am. I'm seriously beyond anxious, excited and now very nervous. I'm so looking forward to a new amazing future, but the whole surgery part is finally hitting me. My program only requires a 24 hour clear, sugar free liquid diet, which I have now officially started. Tomorrow my friend will be coming over and she will be sleeping over and we will do final pictures and official inches of the soon to be old me. I look forward to this new life more then words can describe, but nerves are shot. Will keep my two local buddies posted. Ugh, the nerves :-(.

  20. Auntvick Don't hate me....but OMG did I have the most delicious cider donut yesterday! I couldn't help it..out Apple picking...the cider donut smell...had to have one...delicious...brought two home, eating it for you as we speak now :-) If your a Apple cider kinda girl, sorry I had to pass on that, was WAY to sweet for me. I've totally fallen in love with salad so that's going to kill me. What protein shake do you use? Tried so many and finally found the one...Premier Protein, got them at Sam's in a pack of 12 for $18.00 and their the only ones I can stand. So glad to hear your doing so well. Ever go to support groups? I go every Thursday lol
  21. I was starting to think I was the only local here! Lol. I know, it's crazy close and I'm all over the place! So much running through my head. So glad things have gone good for you since post open. How much are you down? How long were you in hospital for? Just had endoscopy done last week, guess I have a hernia so they will be taking that out as well. Heelllllllllllooooooo neighbor!!!!!!!!!!!
  22. Hi Auntvick and Brickhouse!!!! So happy to find some locals!!! How are you guys!?!? I am crazy anxious and filled with excitement at this point!!! So glad to have found some REAL LOCALS!!!
  23. Looking for people in the Albany,NY area. I will be sleeved October 9th, by Doctor Singh at Albany Medical Center.
  24. Sigma, I'm super anxious, nervous and excited! I think my biggest concern is the pain after surgery lol. I don't really listen to what others say there pain has been, because everyone is different. My high weight was 270, start weight 250, and current weight 233. My goal weight for doctors is 173, my personal goal weight is 160-165. My height is 5`7, yes a shorty lol. It's been an amazing experience so far and I've faced many challenges and realize there will be many more to come, but it will be well worth it. My family is not supportive, but my friends are. My friends have pretty much been my shoulder to cry on when I needed lol. But I'm doing it for me, so I can look and feel good about being me and not be on all these medicines for high blood pressure, cholesterol and the stupid CPAP machine. From the start the hardest thing for me was actually drinking a Protein Shake lol. I just couldn't find the right one. Then at Sam's Club I discovered one called Premier Protein, chocolate, love it! Have you had your Endoscopy yet? Had mine two days ago and still have a sore throat:/. Well, hope to hear from you soon! Btw, real name is Kyle
  25. Yay to my new sleeve buddy!!! How are feeling about it? I'm a total mix of emotions...happy, excited, nervous and anxious as hell. Lol. Does your doc require preop diet? What was your start weight, current weight and what's your goal weight? So excited to have an October 9th sleeve buddy!!!
