  1. My day is Friday the 11th! Flying to TJ tomorrow. I am so sick to my tummy with nerves! Best wishes to everyone I pray we will all be okay!
  2. NewNicole Let us know how you are doing. I'm on my way on Thursday....can't believe how fast the months flew by.
  3. Thanks for the information and advice. I have easy to see veins so I hope this doesn't happen, but other who have easy to see veins have said the same as you, so going in I know that may be an issue.... Friday is coming too fast! Again, thank you!
  4. Praying for you! Praying for all of us! God will take care of us! You all are so strong and I am thankful for this website! Best thing for us is to share and support each other. God bless!
  5. Praying for you! You will do wonderfully! See you on the other side!!!
  6. That's wonderful - congrats!!
  7. Did anyone having or had surgery at Mi Doctor Hospital in Tijuana call the hospital before to be sure you are on their schedule for surgery? Or did you just trust and everything worked out? My surgery is coming up quickly and just wondered if I should call ahead?
  8. I saw this post and just had to scream just a little bit. Today is day four of protein shakes - tomorrow starts 3 days of liquids and ALL I can think of is a double cheese, pepperoni & onion pizza....OMG! Pizza. Pizza. Pizza!!! Oh the fat old days!
  9. I am Friday 4/11 - I am so nervous and have second guessed my decision a few times, but I know after the first two weeks or so I will be happy once again. Really think everything through and do what is best for you.
  10. B12 works miracles! Are you getting enough b12?
  11. Best wishes on your recovery!
  12. Think I'll stop on the way home tonight and check one out....thanks for the info! Best wishes - you will do great!
  13. Thank you cushy. I will try! God bless!!!
  14. Well I freaking out! So sick to my tummy triple guessing my decision praying I'll be ok....too much anxiety!!!! Oh my goodness
  15. Someone else may end up being moved to your hotel. When the Marriott gets full they send later check ins to Your hotel. How are you doing? I am freaking out!!!! So sick to my tummy and very nervous!!!!
  16. Good for you. You certainly do seem very positive! My surgery is Friday the 11th and I freaking out!!!! So worried!
  17. I was thinking about getting one but what about the tightness? Won't that be too much on our skin?
  18. I started my liquid diet today. I have a huge headache....work has been very busy so that has helped. I more worried about this weekend; I hope I don't mess up. I am going to get the SF popsicles, they should help. Good luck ladies!
  19. Thank you for getting back with me...I do appreciate it! Maybe with the "slower" weight lose you will not need the gallbladder surgery. Was watching "my 600 pound life" this week and the doctor had to rush his patient in (Christina was on this weeks’ episode) to conduct an emergency removal of her gallbladder - it was pretty serious.
  20. Congrats!!! You look great!
  21. Awh!!! Thank you! We all need a cheerleader in this journey!
  22. I just started my pre-op today (surgery is the 11th). I'm doing good so far - I'm sure tomorrow and Sunday will be most difficult. I plan to get in as much sleep as possible over the weekend so I'm not a grumpy person to my wonderful family. Plus don't want to watch much TV as every other commercial is about food!!!
  23. I had my jeans on this morning but due to the swoosh I changed into dress pants...so sick of the swoosh
  24. Just wanted to get ideas for the clear liquid phase - what all can we have? Today I start the four days of protein shakes & small salad w/protein for dinner - then on day five I start "clear" liquids only.
  25. Shes-sleeved & Lynne1029 and everyone else I wish you the very best. Healthy recovery, no complications and wonderful weight loss! My surgery is on April 11th...been so sick to my tummy, so nervous but because of this forum and because of you (the person reading this) I know I have made the right decision. God bless you and thank you!
