Today is my daughter's 20th birthday. Tell ur friend goodlum

Ty all for the well wishes..... I had to have open cause of the scar tissue. Severe pain.... but I am a proud member of The losers bench!! Please continue to keep me.in prayers.

Keep yall posted on how this goes. Really not nervous.....scared of pain....but I'll manage. Lol....Good luck to all my surgery buddies this week too. God Bless us all.

Ty so much. I pray she is. I couldnt do this without her. Just feeling heartbroken. Over look me please.

Mine was also moved from 7 am to 5 am. Ill tale it.... I havent slept since fri.....I think I need to sleep. Lol im READY. Ty all for your support. Guess im gonna be here looking for it alot more than I had planned. Good to have great surgwry buddies too.

Ty I just lost my biggest supporter. My mom passed away friday.... we arent havin a funeral or viewing per her request. She wishes for a simple cremation. So thats what we honored. Just a hard time right now. And I guess I should be worried about dying....but that worry seems to just be gone now. I know I have an amazing dr....I am just worried about the pain associated with this surgery and the 2 hernias. I am sure I will do ok. Its just a sad time right now and with all thats going on.... im really missing my mom tonite.

Surgery is tomorrow....getting really nervous. 5am comes early. Hope I'm ready for this.

So everyone knows my surgery is tues. So this morning....I get a phone call.... my mom had passed away. I am so beside myself. Please pray for me .... I dont know how I am gonna get thru this and surgery and help the kiddos.

Hahaha love her way of thinking. Lol

OMG....I am totally excited. As I sat here talking to my mom today about surgery being 3 days away....wow It really hit me. Sh*t just got real! Lol I am ready to hyperventilate! Im panicking cause what if I miss something I need to take? What if I mess this up? What if I cant lose? How is this gonna change my families world? Are they ready for this? Is this really ok to put then thru? I know I have to do this for myself to live a longer healthier life. I just need to know if this "holy crap its happening" feeling is really normal? HELP!

I am so glad urs went so well. Hope to keep u as a surgery buddy as I take this plunge Tues...

If u try it....let me know if it worked as well for u. Once u get used to a weaker caffeine intake... then u can switch to decaf if thats what ur dr advised. I know now that I am drinking tea....I can go to my MILs house and drunk her decaf and never feel the effects of it. personal victory!

Tho we might be from different walks of life.....we all feel the same struggles. We all FEEL. We HURT. We NEED. WE LOVE and DESERVE to BE LOVED. Dont let the scale control u. Let your personal victories be celebrated and appreciated. God bless all of us!!

No? I looked for it but didnt find it. Uou can either resend it thru here or email me at mistyraine924@gmail.com. That comes straight to my phone. Im always by it.

I couldnt agree more. Im 3 days pre op and I have lost 23 lbs with it on my own. I cant wait for post op to see what the total is. Its def a fixture in my life.

My suggestions are gonna follow alot already listed. 1. Log all food. 2. Adequate Protein 3. Water.... body store fat if dehydrated. 4. Change up ur routine ....excersize never stops.....always change it up. Since DL told.me to log food..... I have lost 23lbs preop and have surgery Tues. Good luck and God bless.

Ty for ur response.... I had no idea they caused so many problems.... I guess I can check that off my list. Lol....ty for sharing. God bless.

Anytime.....glad to be able to help someone like so many have helped me!

So glad ur surgery went so well. Happy to hear u are doing awesome! Cant wait to follow u and hear/learn more.

Ty great advice! Ill be sure to grab some from hosp when I leave.

Did u charge ur fitbit? Heres a reminder. Lol

I havent had it with liquid diet either. I just had caffine withdrawl I had to trick my brain past. Lol....it worked....not complaining.

I had this horribly! I was a heavy caffine drinker and had to trick my brain. I have started drinking tea with no sugar but splenda instead. Still a very small amount of caffine....but not enough to matter at all. I just use 3 family size bags and add 3/4 c splebda to a gallon. Barely sweet but takes the headache away. Hope it works for u.

Thinking of u all....how r u all doing post op? And WELCOME TO THE LOSERS BENCH!!! I cant wait til Tues and meet u there. God bless.

DONT.GIVE.UP! You have come so far. This is a minor road bump. You are so on it. Keep pestering them....
