Hoping to go home today. Please please please. Minimal pain and walking every where.

Today is finally here! Today is MY day! Today I begin my new healthier life! Today I get an extension on life! Today I am thankful for! Today I will cherish! Leaving for hospital in about an hour.!!!!! Woooooohooooooo!

Are these still available? Can you accept paypal?

I'll be on the losers bench on Wednesday! Reviewing the posts before I head to the grocery store to stock up for me post op diet. See you all Thursday after some time of recovery.

I am ready all the status updates for those of you going in today! I think I am more nervous for you all than you are! I woke up 2 hours earlier than normal and grabbed my phone to start watching updates. Not nervous about mine at all though. Humm..... I may need to examine my thought process here.

Woke up and this group was on my mind! A lot if folks this week starting their new life! Sending thoughts and prayers for each of you!

You can sleep in the hospital. I know I am going to do the same thing! Good luck!

I wanted to share a few of my favorite things that I have found in the search of a healthier me: My Basis health tracking watch 2014 edition, it tracks many items (steps, calories burned, heart rate, sleep analysis) but the best part is you don't have to have the chest strap for heart rate monitoring like you do with the Loop or FitBit. $199 from mfg. or Amazon.com Fusion bariatric complete vitamins on sale for year supply for less than $300 at bariatric fusion.com Protein Plus vanilla powder at SAMs for around $20. Best protein/carb ratio I have found for a good price. HEB green soup (kale, spinach, green beans, broccoli! Mixed with Unjury unflavored protein for a non sweet lunch during pre-op. Hope you find these useful! I spent many hours researching a lot of items and these are my favs and go to's!

Welcome to the group and congratulations!

There is a March Surgery group in the post with all of the March losers!! I would post a link but I am unsure how to!

Depends on which piercing! Lol

I did the same thing!, I have always had a scewed self image! I don't see myself as large as what I actually am until I see a photograph!

March 26th here as well!!

I feel like I am just on edge about everything. I have to keep my mind occupied or I find myself staring in the fridge. I never get anything out, but just stare as if I'll never see food again!

Day 8 and struggling through! I would kill for some chicken soup! Dr says only protein shakes.

I hate to hear that! Well, one more hurdle down!

Glad to hear you have made it home! Rest well!

I am gonna have to try the Muscle Milk, where are you buying it at?

The 26th is my scheduled surgery date! Sooooo excited! I return to the US on the 20th, EGD and blood work on the 21st! I have managed to stay on liquid diet thanks to my hubby and son! They have done so good to make sure we (they) eat so we here that I am okay with. Most of the time they have just had a quick bite so I am not twiddling my thumbs while they eat!

Hope the dry heaves ease up!

Great news!!

Just got final approval and awaiting for scheduled surgery date. I have requested the 25th. We will see if they can pull it off. Good thing I started my liquid diet on the 11th as we planned. I can do this ! Unfortunately liquid diet in Europe translates to week long drunken binge. I will be back to the states on the 20th with EGD scheduled for the 21st.

Best of luck!! Good vibes headed your way!

I got some b12 liquid that helps me with the energy loss. I start my preop diet today!! So far so good!
