Hello everyone! I had my surgery Tuesday and am going home from hospital today. Feeling pretty good. Not much pain. It was nice to be able to meet 2biglamb, as we are at the same hospital. Just waiting for my ride so I thought I'd update. Ttyl.

I was on the floor playing with the dogs and suddenly realized how easy it was to get on and off of the floor. It used to be so difficult.

I have also had people ask me if I'm still having surgery because of weight loss prior to surgery. My response was YES. I want to be healthy for the rest of my life. Not just a few months.

So glad there's so many of us to support each other. I'm excited for my health and life to continue getting better and better!

I am booked for jan 21!

You are hot! Congrats.

Yes. I also found the runs. Imodium dissolvable and chewable pepto Bismol helpful.

A friend just shared these words, by Neil Gaiman, and you might find them encouraging or inspiring... words to live by :-)
I hope that in this year to come, you make mistakes.
Because if you are making mistakes, then you are making new things, trying new things, learning, living, pushing yourself, changing yourself, changing your world.
You're doing things you've never done before and, more importantly, you're Doing Something.
So that's my wish for you and all of us and my wish for myself. Make New Mistakes. Make glorious, amazing mistakes. Make mistakes no one's ever made before. Don't freeze, don't stop, don't worry that it's not good enough or isn't perfect, whatever it is; art or love or work or family or life.
Whatever it is you're scared of doing - do it.

I have lost 30lbs so far and 80 to go. I am preop started my 3 week Protein Shake diet today.

My very supportive boss gave me a box of chocolates also???? My kids gave me nice slippers for my hospital stay and a scale that goes with my fitbit. Awesome gifts.

I am from Lethbride. 2 hours west of Medicine Hat. So I won't likely have anyone visiting either. I should be there 3 days.

Well, good luck to you!! And hope your holidays are wonderful

Hey!! My surgery is January 16th! I'm soooo ready!

I can fit my watch again. Finally. It's been over a year since I last wore it. 30lbs down made the difference.

I love all your lists. I am going to start one of my own. Yesterday I realized that my watch fit me again. That's with being down 30 lbs. So excited for more good stuff to come.

I have three week pre-op liquid diet. Four Protein Shakes plus six cups of calorie free liquids. Can also have up to two cups of celery, cucumber or spinach if I feel the need to chew something. Nothing else. I'm kind if nervous about it but I'm sure I will do okay.

Today:
Friend I haven't seen in about a year: "Wow, you lost a LOT of weight! When did you lose all that weight?"
Me: "Last week."
Seemed nicer than saying "You haven't seen me in a year - when did you THINK I lost it?!?"
