  5. Thanks everyone!! I really appreciate it!! I can't wait a little nervous about the anesthesia though
  6. I have Surgery tomorrow the 17th at 11 AM!! A little nervous about the anesthesia, I have never been under so it's all new for me !!
  7. Tomorrow is coming quick! Just packed my hospital bag!! Still not too nervous pretty calm actually!! I am just over this clear liquid diet!! Had to drink the isopure clear protein drinks these past two days and definitely not a fan of them! So hungry !! Tomorrow that part will be fixed , thank God!!
  8. I did get a little discouraged today because I weighed myself and I am at the same weight I was on Monday when I saw the Dr. I was just thinking man all this dedication to this diet and it hasn't moved since then... I mean I am at 9 pounds but I thought for sure a little more would have came off. I am supposed to start TOM on surgery day so I am not sure if that has any thing to do with it ..... ughhhh
  9. Glad to hear you are doing Good!! I am sure as the days pass it will get easier and easier for you!! Thank you in advance for the little prayer! I definitely appreciate it! I have never had any surgery so I just have experiences from you guys to go by! The endoscopy was the most I have really had to do medically. Awww your poor little one! I am a preschool teacher so I totally understand sometimes they just need some extra love. My surgeon has given me strict directions to not pick up any kids or anything like that.. so I totally understand
  10. I check in at 9:00 and than surgery is at 11!! it's so true I never really paid attention to the types of commercials till now and it's like it's all food ones ! Lol so frustrating ! How are you doing Jeni ?
  11. Hey all! I go in to surgery Monday feb 17th at 11 AM! This clear liquid diet is a little harder than my 2 week preop diet! It's kicking my butt at the moment! Got out for a little bit And did some shopping. Resting at home now, first thing when I turned my tv on was a restaurant commercial!!! Ughh!! Is it Monday yet ?? Lol
  12. Clear liquids start today !! Two more days till surgery Eeek!!!
  13. I know me too!! I just picked up everything for my clear liquid diet for this weekend which I am a little nervous about! But not too nervous about the actual surgery yet atleast
  14. Hey!! I am getting sleeved on Monday the 17th!! I don't know if it hasn't exactly set in yet or what but I am not really nervous yet just excited!! I am sure come Sunday night the nerves will kick in
  15. I am doing ok on my pre op diet as of Monday I was down 9 pounds hopefully I am down more!! I am on three protein shakes than I get a dinner with lean protein a cup of veggies I/2cup of starch and like a low fat yogurt or string cheese. It's been ok I am just over the diet lol but it will be totally worth it in the end! I have been using the premier chocolate individual protein shakes, they are pretty good! Except I am sure I can taste them in my sleep lol ...
  16. Heyy I am scheduled Monday the 17th at 11AM have to check in at 9:00 at Cedars Sinai in LA! I am a little nervous because I have never had any kind of surgery, but more excited! We should keep in contact through out this process! How's a everyone feeling on their pre op diet??
  17. I had my last appointment with my primary care dr today! Had to do the pregnancy test as well!! My preop class was last Wednesday as well as my pre op visit with my surgeon!! So hard to believe a week from right now I will be officially on the losers bench!!!
  18. Hey Jencovi- I am assuming you are in so cal with your short Disneyland trip.. Can I ask where you are having surgery? I live in Huntington Beach but I am having surgery at Cedars Sinai in LA!! Just thought I would say hi to another local Glitter- yay! We are having surgery the same day!! It's coming up quick
  19. Hey All!! My surgery is Feb 17th sooo excited and getting just a tad nervous about the anesthesia but other than that I am ready!!!!! I have been on my pre op liquid diet since Monday doing better today !! Also recovering from a cold hoping the cold goes away by the 17th
  20. Hey everyone !! I can not believe I am two weeks out to my Surgery Date! it's almost surreal! So I am on my liquid diet and wow I hope it gets easier!! I have found it to be a little mental for me , would love to be able to actually chew something I do get one small meal which is like 4 0z of chicken or fish and a cup of veggies buts it's just a little tough in the mean time !! Praying it gets easier! The outcome is 100 percent worth it! So I will keep sipping away
  21. Cupofjojo- such a good idea of creating a separate Instagram account! I have kinda looked around with different hashtags relating to the surgery to kind of see different things! I will create one today and add you Arts- I definitely need to start winging my self off of the caffeine like yesterday!!! Lol that is def my goal for this week... As I am drinking my coffee!!! Lol gosh it's gonna be tough but sooo worth it
  22. Aww three weeks?!!! We need to be each other's support! It's gonna be tough but so worth it!!!!
  23. Oh I definitely will walk you through it Yes two weeks before I have to do a liquid diet ! I am a little nervous snout my caffeine but it's all worth it !!! Even if I am a zombie for the first week ! What about you?
  24. Hey everyone!! My surgery is quickly approaching on Feb 17th! And I was just curious what everyone's recovery time was like! I have set a side a week off but If I need more I can take more time off as well ! I am a preschool teacher so I just want to make sure I take care of me first before I ease back in to work!
