glad to hear it is going well. Keep us updated

wow, that makes a long day

Mitzie keep me updated! By this time next week we are going to be at home posting about being on the loser's bench.

Wow, it is officially real. Just got a call from the hospital . I report on Tuesday at 10:30... surgery is at 1:30.

I just bought a fit bit flex. Now to figure out how it works!

Ouch... that doesnt sound fun. Congrats on the 11 pounds though.

I hope it all starts getting better for you. Keep your eye on the prize. It won't be long until we are filling up the NSV thread

I am getting a little nervous but have been so busy I have not had much time to think about it. I am sure it will hit me this weekend.

How are the July Post-Op'ers doing? Five days till I join you.

thanks for the update.. hope your evening goes well

Yeah, head hunger is hitting me tonight... BBQ sounds so good

That is great Mitzie .. we have less than one week!

I just got back from my last pre-op appointment. All is looking good to go for next week. I have lost 18lbs since my PCP appointment last week. This pre-op diet is for real.

ha...my last consult is tomorrow too. We are almost there.

Three protein drinks a day plus clear liquids with no calories - I am getting about 75 grams of protein a day and about 475 calories

1 week to go!!! 7 days of liquids is getting old but I know its worth it.

wow, 15lbs in ten days that is great.

congrats!!!!!!

We are almost half way there. How are all the July Post op'ers doing

I would rather get up 30 times when sore and tired than have a catheter... I have had to pee bad before but waited three hours to have home court advantage

This is what I most dread about my surgery. I have my final pre-op meeting with my surgeon on Wednesday and I am going to try to negotiate the catheter being in and out while I am knocked out. I will walk out of the OR after the surgery if they let me wake up with out that.

That is great!

definitely.. we are so close to the prize, we can almost taste it... unfortunately it taste like a protein shake

Thank you everyone... it has been a long but good day.

it is ok ... I am traveling for work and I feel pretty tired.. not hungry at all and no headache tonight so all is good. How about you?
