back at ya!! daughter in GA, sob, sob visiting my 85 yr old mom kathy

Hope you had a nice one!

Yep, I don't know if it is hormonal or just more body confidence... but my DH doesn't mind a bit.

AWESOME and CONGRATS!!!! I'm going for a IUD on Friday !! LOL

I'm thinking IUD... Feels safest. I was too heavy for bc pills before, it's how my daughter came to be lol

And newly awesome. Congratulations on the sleeve, you're on your way to a healthier body ! Not sure about the single part..........

Thanks @pink dahlia ! I'm not sure about the single part either lol

That must have felt GOOD!

It was glorious!!!!!! Only good things from here on out! Today was my anniversary and the happiest thing was my boots fitting! LOL

yay!

I tried my bed the first night FORGET that couch last night just can't get comfortable ache all over then when I have to get up OMG it feels like I am ripping apart my insides. I finally had a 1/2 a protein shake today after going with nothing but water since Ive been home and crushed up a nausea pill in it - feeling a little better but still ache all over. I just keep saying this WILL get better all the people I have talked to that went through this it WILL get better and will be worth it. Hang in there girl I'm right here with you and miserable!! LOL

Misery loves company lol. A hot shower kinda helped. Reverting back to liquids and one protein shake today to make sure i get accustomed to the liquids and get hydrated enough. We got this, right? Lol

Misery for now but soon we will be shopping for new clothes!! Keep positive!! I haven't tried a hot shower and my back is killing from the couch so maybe I will try that. The 1/2 shake and nausea pill felt good I feel a little better my body just aches like crazy!! I forced myself to drink that shake today because I was worrying about dehydrating myself because I wasn't taking anything in. Hang in there and I'm here for you!!

I am looking forward to my surgeon appt to find out how much I've lost. Also hoping to find out what I can do about this pain that's reoccurring and not going away with the oxycodone he prescribed. Fiance is enjoying that he can keep telling work he needs to be home to help me, meanwhile, I'm doing a lot of the stuff around here I shouldn't be for a few weeks. It's just frustrating

Guys suck! They don't get it. I'm way to independent for all that

So am I but I keep overdoing it..... so now it's time to crack a whip and have his earn his time off from work lol

I am a zombie i went to bed at 11;30 up by 3;30 and this is nightly...

I normally cant fall asleep until after 2 now, and I'm up by 5 or 6..... and then during the day i catch myself zoning

Agreed!!!! I don't think I would have left the hospital a day early if I wasn't doped up enough to get me home with no pain lol

welcome home - we missed you (rocking chair and heating pad) LOL sounds like you are recovering nicely - make sure to get your rest, your new healthier, happier, longer life has just begun!! Kathy

Thanks @proudgrammy .... it's nice being back! I don't know how well I;d be fairing without the pain medicine though lol

Hey I am waiting for my surgery ,can't wait good luck :-) hope you make a quick recovery

Praying for you! He is probably nervous..

Happy Surgery Day !

Thanks guys! Looking forward to a nice drug induced sleep soon lol.... I see the hospital 2 lights up! See you on the other side!

Yay! Good Luck!

take a nap during surgery - wake up to the start of your new healthier, happier, longer life!!! kathy

How exciting! Good luck girl!

Yay! Exciting isn't it

I'm totally freaking out lol. I went from awaiting this week to get here, to stressing and being super scared and anxious.

Remember why you chose this path & that you will be much healthier. Best wishes.

you got this girl! you are almost there!

I have 10 days to go - being on the pre op diet is so hard but I am sticking to it for a smooth surgery. Where are you from? I am in NY

I'm originally from NY, but currently in Northern NJ

Each day gets easier and easier

I promise it gets better. I am on day 4

When did the hunger and fatigue go away? I'm far from functioning today lol

it gets better. I'm on week 5 of clear liquids (and i have not cheated) and quite frankly I am enjoying it now, but I cannot wait to chew food. Pre surgery definitely harder as you still have your big stomach. Post surgery very important not to cheat, drink lots of fluids to fill that belly.

Thanks @pink dahlia !!! You know it's been a heck of a journey so far! Very excited!

It just keeps getting better and better, just take it a day at a time . So glad I got banded, just wish id done it sooner ! Hopefully you'll feel the same way ! Good luck !!

your surgery is soooo close!

I know you can do it!
