Hi guys! I'm seven hours out from my surgery and I'm surprised how fine I am. I'm starved and thirsty but I've decided this is the best thing for me. I'm so tired of fighting the weight battle with no real success. I pray this tool will help me like it has with so many others. Good luck to my surgery buddies today!! :-).

Wow shakes after three days. Ill be on clear liquids for a week. Glad you are ok so far.

Oh Kelly same here!! I just want this to be over. Plus my mom is going to drive me crazy. :-)

Amanda welcome!! Glad to hear you are doing well!!

Way to go!!!

I just can't believe mines tomorrow!!

Jessi. I agree. Mines tomorrow and so afraid of failing. I'm scared but this board has helped me sooo much. I know what can happen and so much info the dr don't tell you. Thanks all!!

I was thinking of the band too but the failure rate and the port was not something I could deal with. Also I want the fear of dumping. Sad but true. I'm a sweet nut! Good luck and welcome.

Wow nice job! I'm really happy for you!

Yep! PB2 is awesome!! Real peanuts just not the fat.

What a great NSV!!! Way to go

Wow guys!!! I hope I'm as successful as you folks!!! Congrats !!!

Whoo hoo! I'm happy for you!!!

I bought a 6 pack of Pyrex "shot" glasses at Walmart. They are like 1.44 each and are a 1/4 cup. Good to start puréed food with.

Whoo hoo!

Wow. That's a lot in three months. You look awesome!!

Heck ya!! It is the little things that are the big things. You start to feel "normal". Congrats

Not a whole lot can fix extra skin besides surgery but it has a lot to do with age, amount of weight lost, genetics, etc. You can get a good body cream and drink tons of water. I know I get really wrinkly when I don't. It also can take up to two years for your skin to adjust as much as it can or will. Have some patience, keep hydrated and use moisturizer with a firming agent. Working out with weights is also helpful. Good luck!

Also weight lose messes with our hormones do you'll have up and down days. It will too level out. Wishing you the best!!

Awe thanks!!! We all need all the support we can get!!!

KellyAnne: Yea. We really are surgery sisters!! Im sure you will be fine. :-). We can do this!! Peach: so glad to hear from you. Hope the pain gets better soon. Good for you for the walking and the water.

MY friend lays flat on her back until it passes. She says it seems to help. Be careful!

WOW 30 grams good to know thanks
