I am wednesday too!!! How are you feeling? I am so excited but so nervous as well! I live in NY

sounds delicious, but I am going to use sweet potatoes instead of white potatoes.

July 16th!

Having surgery june 25th, 2014 anybody else have that date? Cannot stop thinking about it and would love to have somebody to share study cards with before and after Pamela

no and yes, very excited but also nervous if that makes any sense. LOL I was very excited as my date was right around the corner then got put off to july 16th, so now more anxious to just get it done, but yes I am nervous wouldn't be normal I don't think if I wasn't. Pamela

July 16th, name is Pamela. Hello everyone. Had a june 25th date then my surgeon got called for jury duty and couldn't get off! I was mad, and then sad, went through 10 days of liquid wasn't so bad but to be deep into it then have to just stop. That is the only thing I will have to do again.

Be very careful going to Mexico! I have read too many nightmares! Plus you will hotel fare, flight there and back, is it really worth it.! Try and find a way to stay in the good ole USA!! Just my opinion though.

my bari surgeon ordered it right from his office they gave me this contraption that monitored my sleep and breathing through the night for 3 nights 2 tiny plugs in my nostrils and a finger clip. After the 3 nights gave it back to them they interpreted the results, so cost me noting. Have you spoken to your surgeon about it.?

Genuinely sorry about all your problems and I do hope you are well now. In my opinion, this is all the more reason to stay in the United States of America when having surgery, home to some of the best doctors in the world. I would never go to Mexico, if this surgery is something you know you NEED to be happy and health and for all of us here it is, then I would find a way to pay for it, never go to Mexico. But this is just my opinion and you know what they say, opinions are like gas, everyone has it and then they just fade away. Good Luck to you

I hear you mamaBear, don't want to have to much after I get home. My birthday is tomorrow and so last night my family took me out for my favorite food and last dinner, Sushi! Started my 2 week pre-op liquid this morning. surgery is on the 25th. I am also making meals to freeze for my hubby and my girls 13, 15 years of age. They both asked for Mac and cheese I found the panera bread recipe and it is soooo good, bacon and cheese quiche. I am also making a pot of my sauce so they can have Pasta and meatballs which I am also making and freezing, already made chicken cutlets which I cut up into strips. Once night they can have Breakfast for dinner, and one night pizza. DONE. lol Good luck to you! talk soon

My final leg starts tuesday! 2 weeks but I cannot eat oatmeal or applesauce ect..... I can only have all liquids. Oh gosh I hear you as far food funerals and cravings, but we have to keep in mind why we are doing this right? I would happy to be your buddy. If you would like to friend me please do and i will do the same. I do a lot of work on my computer so easy to find to reach out to when and if. my name is Pamela. Talk soon

get on a steady regime of BIOTIN!!!! or a quality hair, Skin, and Nails vitamin! The Vitamin shoppe or GNC, I started it now so hopefully I won't have any problems with that after my surgery. Good Luck

Oh Chava that is so wonderful!!! I am having my surgery on the 25th of this month and I absolutely just cannot wait to feel what that feels like. Keep it up!

Awesome! I stat my per-op liquid on the 11th for 2 weeks, not looking forward to it. but have to do it. Glad to have so one to share my journey with. Have tremendous support from my family but not the same as someone going through the same thing. Talk to you soon, pamela
