Merry Christmas to you too and thank you. The military in me comes out with using "Operation ........" I do this all the time at home like I will say to my daughters, "It is 'Operation Clean Your Room' time!" I am positive they love it.

Thank you very much wow. I will try to help for sure because I have been helped by so many here. Thanks again!

I am with you 100% on the getting RNY to help your health and live longer for your kids!! It isn't just the pounds coming I am looking forward to, it is all the other bad things that come with the pounds. I am 40 also and have twin 8 yr old girls who I not only want to watch grow up but also be active with them in the lives! There are studies that show your mortality is increased a lot of years from this surgery. It isn't an easy life after but at least you will be ALIVE. You do it for you and your kids and we will be here for support!

NSV - We just had 50+ posts about GAS!!!!!!!! Congrats everyone and give yourselves a pat on the back!

Thursday is my surgery so I will have more input (or should I say OUTPUT) on the subject.

YEAH!! LET'S GET THOSE HUSBANDS BACK!!!! Wait..........I am a husband soooooooooo.......LET'S BE KIND TO HUSBANDS!!!!!

They are having me cut the Vicodin in half and take 30 minutes apart.

I totally missed this story while reading the thread because I was just sharing this thread with my Wiff and I started reading your story and I LOST IT! Tears were flowing from laughter and I couldn't finish it. Thank you Thank you Thank you Thank you Thank you Thank you Thank you Thank you

Thank you soooo much for starting this fun!!!!!

Thanks for the info

Are they just normal refried beans or are they some low fat kind?

BTW - I did it before Duck Dynasty started and it is great when I hear my twin 8 year old girls yell together, "Daddy!"

I am laughing at all of your different descriptions!!!!! LOVE THIS PLACE!!! Big Wojo's "Sonic Boom" is in the lead.

Thank you very much. Guess I didn't realize I was doing that. I am so telling her so I get BONUS POINTS!! What does "dh" stand for?

Do 13 years married count as newlyweds? Why do you ask?

Add to grocery list: Gas X Strips CHECK! Thanks and my Wiff thanks you.

How did they calculate your body fat%? Did they measure at the beginning of ten weeks?

Congrats!! Sounds like you are moving pretty good and that's encouraging. Also good to hear the incisions heal so well.

That's good advice thank you! How much time would you put on a timer? I found an app for my phone called "Eat Slower" that I can put in what time I want for the intervals.

My surgery is next week and if I have same issues my Wiff will not be happy LOL!!!! She already keeps upset when I ask the girls if they hear ducks flying over the house LOL!!! My girls think it's funny!

Two things that keeps running in my mind after the Pre-Op meeting with Bariatric Coordinator (who had WLS over decade ago) is what she said was and is key to losing and keeping of the weight: 1 - Do not drink while you eat. 2 - Get your daily Fluid intake. I have always found it interesting how powerful Water intake is to our daily lives before surgery and how even more important AFTER surgery. Just wanted to share that because it is stuck in my mind and keeps replaying.

kraney - Thank you very much! My story isn't over yet so keep stopping by!

Dorian - Thank you very much. My Wiff is pretty awesome and we do cause a scene usually with our joking around with each other. The hospital I am going to has Bariatric section and I will have nurses that only work bariatric patients so they are very experienced, Some have had the surgery as well so I know I will be in good hands.

My Wiff reminds me that men are more sensitive to pain, I think she called it being a "Big Baby" LOL. She asked my Bariatric coordinator for a prescription for pain meds too so she can deal with me lol. She is sooooo funny.
