That is hilarious! Smart..but hilarious! I've always kept a small travel sewing kit in my office for the longest time with safety pins and such in it, just in case I ever had any wardrobe issues... lol

I would go by the office as well, that is ridiculous! I had to go by and pick mine up and I just took them to my surgeon's office to let them look thru and make sure it was all there.

Hi and Welcome!!

Hi and Welcome! You will love it here, everyone is great. There are so many at different places in their journey, so you can get info at any stage. Just ask, someone will be glad to chime in.

10 days til GO TIME for me and counting. It's getting closer and closer! Good luck to everyone going today for surgery!! **I had a small victory this morning, it's jeans day at work and I was going thru my closet and found a pair of jeans a size smaller than my usual, I tried them on for kicks and they fit! I wore them to work. Good way to start off my Friday.

We can have veggies as long as they are not starchy, 2 tbs of Peanut Butter per day if we want it. I can have SF Jello, pudding, and pudding pops, or popsicles. I can't do jello though, I just don't like the consistency. Well unless it's in an little cup and has vodka in it, but we won't go there. hahahah

I am actually feeling pretty good now. If it wasn't for me being able to eat certain veggies and Soups though, I think I wouldn't be doing as well. I ate cream of chicken Soup yesterday, and I felt like it was the best tasting thing in the world. hahahaha 10 days to go!!

Good luck!!

Good Luck!! Crossing my fingers for ya!

I'm on day 2 of my 14 days. Is anyone else having headaches??

I have started buying stuff. I bought a tub of vanilla protein mix, chocolate protein mix, liquid multi vitamin (Vitamin Shoppe had them buy one get one 1/2 so I bought 2), tomato soup, cream of chicken soup, different extract flavors, pudding/jello packs to flavor my protein drinks, so on so on.

Day 2 of my liquid diet, not so bad yet. Yesterday I had a headache all day, but I just think to myself, "Hey you quit smoking without any help, you got this!" Trying different flavors in my Protein drinks, this morning I had unjury chocolate with Hazelnut flavoring... yummmmmm. 13 days to go!!

The stores here used to have a plus size section, I loved it. I've been ordereing from them on line for a few years. Their jeans fit me better than any others.

Good for you! That's great. I can't wait for that moment too.

I used to be in the Columbia House DVD club, I ordered it thru there. I"m sure Walmart or somewhere would have it.

I talked to my hair stylist about it, and she suggested using Nioxin shampoo/conditioner products as well as the biotin vitamins and such.

I bought one of those "Dancing with the Stars" workout DVD. I"m telling you, after learning one dance with "Max", he didn't look half as hot, and I was cussing him too. lmao

I'm not to far behind y'all, I start on Monday. I have tried a protein drink called "Lean Body, On the Go" at Walmart, in Vanilla Ice Cream flavor and it is veryyy good. I have a few more samples to try too, the GNC brand, and Unjury. But I may just stick to the Lean Body one, I like it.

Congrats! Wishes for a speedy recovery going your way!

I had mine on the 20th as well, but never had to have an EKG. Went the a 1.5 hr Q&A with the Pre-op Nurse who as totally awesome. Start my pre-op diet 10-1 as well... It's like we are surgery twins! hahahah ** I went out this weekend and bought a few different protein drinks to try. I am drinking one for breakfast today that I found at Walmart. It's called "Lean Body, on the go", Vanilla Ice Cream flavor, and it's YUMMY. 25g protein too.

I am sitting at the hospital, my pre op with the anesthiologist ( however you spell it) is at 11:30. It's really getting closer! I am getting so excited!

Oh thank you thank you for posting this. I was trying to decide how to make up for my iced latte addiction after surgery. lol

Yay!! I bet you are excited!! It's not far away at all. You'll do great. That is an awesome birthday present. I'm counting down til mine, 27 days.

I went through the same thing! Luckily, after they received the letter from my PCP, it was a day or two and I was approved. Hope you hear soon! Keep us updated.
