  1. Oh my I'm really getting scared I want to back out!! I just found out yesterday that I have a hernia as well, so he will have to fix it as well. I am so so nervous!! 5 more days and I'm going to "pain hell" I pray
  2. Well I'm having a rough week, I'm suppose to be on this pre-op diet but I've had my honey in the hospital sense I was to start the diet. So I've been trying to do my best away from home. Then on top of all my stress I get a call this evening that with my upper GI they found my hernia, great!! And I guess what, I'm cash pay so that's an extra 1000.00 after just paying them 10,500.00 cash!!! I'm so tired! I don't know how I'm gonna get this 1000 dollars but I have to do it! Wish me luck
  3. I would just go to mexico!! "Just sayin"
  4. Wow!! That's a long pre-op diet! I was just given mine ( for two weeks) and I thought that was bad! Well I pray for you, and just hang in there! I'm day two and it already sucks!!
  5. So I went today and got my upper GI done ( that was awful)!! And my blood work done. So I was told last visit that I would not need to do a pre-op diet because of my BMI being on the low side, so I have been happy about that......until today!! I was told today that I have to start the pre-op diet, THAT SUCKS!! I mean slap in the face unprepared!! So all day I've wrapping my brain around it, that's how I work. If I am aware of something I just get ready and go with it, but when it just jumps out at me it sucks!! So I went and bought some lean cuisines, shakes and Popsicles and tomorrow it starts!! Good luck to me and everyone else!!!
  6. Well good luck to you!! Mine is in two weeks and yours will be here before you know it!!! I pray for you

  11. @Healthy2015. Ok so I have not had my surgery yet, butttt I did have to tell my bosses about it because I needed the time off and I will not be able to pick up heavy objects for a little bit. So now I sooo wish I did not have to tell them, now that they have gone and talked about it behind my back and gossiping about me and now they make sly comments ( were I can here them) about weight loss surgery and about how "people just gain all the weight back," "and if there going to find a way around it they will," and I know they are all talking about me. They are all very big women and very jealous! So I try to ignore them. So maybe you might just want to wait, unless you think they are better people then that, just think about it real good!! Good luck to you on your journey!
  12. @Big_Mama& @@sunflowerchild that's what I was going to say! That is so nice of you to give them to someone who I'm sure really needs them. Well God bless you and "skinny on"
  13. @@WendyDTX I love the premier protein shakes, I would drink them when I was on a high protein diet, guess I'll be drinking them again, huh!! I can't wait!
  14. I have a book that is called the "five day pouch test" by Kaye Bailey. It simply says that if you will go back to day 1 and do just what you did right after surgery, do it for five days that you can most likely get your pouch back down! This at least will help you get back on track. So give it a try! Good luck!
  15. @@Christi6972 that's great! I can't wait to get mine done! (Still have 6 weeks) ugggh! Well congrats and good luck on your new journey!!
  16. @@NewBeginning2015 your post is why I said what I said! It's a concern of mine and I will take your advice and run with it.

  20. @@soubifan700 I haven't had my surgery yet but my doctor told me to get Isopure protein drink from GNC ( so I did) it is a thin protein drink. It has 40 grams of protein in it, maybe that will help you. Good luck!
