I know I made my sons let me sniff his pizza it was pitiful! But This is the first time I have ever turned down pizza or stake or any other food for that matter so thats a win in my book!

Isla, so sorry you had to abort the surgery but you are here and that's what is important. One thing about medicine there are so many times when there is no reason no answer its frustrating as heck. In the old days docs were gods and we all believed they always knew what was going on and what to do to fix it. No more! Now we know it's a guessing game. I am glad your surgeon knew when to stop and save you! I hope they can come up with a solution for you.

Thank god it is over! Sore as hades in hospital, got home yesterday and between the gas issues and feeling like a truck backed over me, getting better. Today I am really glad I stocked up on several types of the Isopure drinks, so I can take small sips, and get Water too.
Gas,gas,gas!
But walking really helps

Finishing up day 2 of pre op diet. Its been ok. Not to bad. The worst of it is that my house hold are all adults. So they come home from work or high school hungry n cook, i mean they can really cook. It puts my nose into overdrive. But i keep pushing forward. My surgery is scheduled for Tuesday the 18th. A lot of confused emotions.

ok just finished my pre ops at the hospital final weight 223.4 pre surgery, Clear Liquids allday and report to the hospital at 5:30am tomorrow. I will try to log in sometime tomorrow, if not I wish everyone that is getting surgery today and on my day 9/13 and the following days a safe surgery and a speedy recovery... .

I hope all our surgeons have had a nice restful relaxing weekend and are at their Best Monday by Monday afternoon we shall become post-opers!!

I know ! When I lost weight and became about a size 14 I noticed people looked at me different in a good way , an as I lost more weight their was a acceptance that I never felt when I was heavy I mean I would get guys tryin to get at me when I was heavy but now its respectfully done not gawking but things like opening the door an just things like that an everytime I go somewhere without my Hubby I gatta go the other way when I see a guy tryin to flirt but it's sad how the world treats a heavy person vs a thinner person

Surgery Monday af 930am...very nervous about if i did my week long liquid diet correctly..... Everything i ate was (with the help of my "Ninja", was smooth and watery like instant potatoes) broth and Protein shakes.. No solids or soda at all... But just to be on the safe side, i am doing Clear Liquids Saturday and Sunday.. Excited and nervous, i am so happy that my husband and kiddos are so supportive..

Bucket List
- Being able to have children with my husband
- Fitting into a roller coaster( a bit childish but a happy tibulation to overcome).
- Being able to bend down without losing my breathe.
I know its not much, but, all I truly want is lead a healthier and much happier life with my husband with the hopes of having a familt with him. It's true the road is arduous and tedious, but without the trials and tribulations that we have surpassed and will surpass, we move towards being happy with ourselves and those that surround us. Quick and healthy recoveries to those of you that have under gone surgery already and those having surgery this month. We've finally made it to the finish line.

Bucket list
I have many desires but I want a concise list to focus on in the coming months to rewire my brain and change my habits.
Walk up and down steps " hands free"
Go to Africa on a mission trip.- this one includes the fitting in an airplane seat and being able to walk at least 1 mile!
Meet a man I can attract and be attracted to.
LIVE LARGE - philosophically not physically
I think that's enough to focus on. I want to keep these four things in my mind when the going gets rough. Might even laminate the list.

Well my surgery officially got moved up to Tuesday I had my final weigh in and I had to weigh 315 well I blew it out of the Water and I weighed 309!!! Only five days to go!

Maybe once September is over, we can continue our September Members in the post op forum. Maybe we can keep up with each other that way and continue to encourage one another. Surgery is just the beginning of this journey. We could post pics and see each others progress. I'm so thankful I found all of you. Just knowing someone is out there that knows how I feel makes a world of difference....
