Thanks!! I'm so thankful for all the support we all give each other!! I also have to have my gall bladder out too, so hopefully it will be just as smooth!

Praying for you!! Keep us updated!

That's great!! I hope on Monday, mine goes as smooth! Keep up the walking!

I'm from Iowa

Do you think a recliner would be helpful?

How do we see pictures? How is your pain? Do you find it hard to get all the liquid in?

Since I'm new here, how do we see people's pictures? How's your pain? Do you find it hard to fit all your liquids in?

Awesome guys!! I'm so excited!!

Sent! Thanks

Does anyone use this? If so friend me tashapettit, I need all the friends I can get, lol. The support would be great! Or reply to this thread and I will add you!! Thanks!

So, I was thinking, how fun would it be to have a monthly pen pal? Someone new each month to send a box of goodies or things that you have found helpful. It is something that I have been thinking about for sometime now and would like to get started. There would of course be a spending limit and some general rules but I wanted to get a feel as to if anyone would be interested in participating. If you are interested reply with an email that I could send you more info to. I would love to get this started!! I

Praying for you and all of us that get to be so lucky as to get our life back!

Thanks!! That makes me feel better!

So I had my pre-op today. Turns out I have some gall tones so my surgeon is going to take out my gall bladder also. Curious to know if anyone else has to have that done. Also I am now on a 600 calorie diet till surgery day on the 15th! Shouldn't be bad, I still get chicken which I love!

October is finally here!! We are all going to begin our new, improved, healthy lives this month!! I am so excited to I finally be able to have the energy to play with my sons and do all the things I have wanted to do!! I hope that you all keep in touch and update often!! I have my pre-op today so time is getting closer!! Good luck!!

I am hoping that it is just because maybe the lab messed up ). It can't be for insurance since I am self paying, I was tiered of jumping thru the ins hoops for three years.

So my dr office called yesterday morning and said that I need to have more blood work done. A complete metabolic work up the nurse said. I had all my tests done on the 24th. My pre-op appt is Monday. They wanted me to have it done Friday but I had Breakfast before she called so now I have to go in first thing money morning. I am now starting to worry...... Has anyone else had to do this? Am I just getting worked up for nothing? Any input would be greatly appreciated!

Oh, I'm right there with ya!! Nervous and excited!

Yeah!! Good for you!

So, I had my appointment today for all the fun bloodwork and such. I must say, I was a bit nervous. I had blood drawn, and EKG, some chest x-rays and an ultrasound for my liver, kidney and gallbladder. Why was I so nervous??? I am so excited to I finally be the person outside that I already know I am inside!! I think I was nervousness because now I have my per op on the 1st and surgery on the 15th. Time is getting closer!! Good luck everyone!

I've heard of a lot people having a bucket lit and last meal and so forth. I'm not trying to offend anyone by any means but for most of us we are here because of those foods! I do not have a bucket list or a last meal. I have fought with my insurance for over three years and now have decided to self pay. I am embracing this tool and do not want to do anything to distract me from my goal. I know there are things I will more than likely never be able to eat gain but then again, I chose this. Just wanted to give my two cents good luck everyone!

Congrats! You are a great inspiration!!

Congrats!!! I am so looking forward to that day! I haven't seen that number on the scale since high school.
