    My surgery is with Dr. Aceves on Sept. 30, so will be getting there the 29th, sure would be nice to meet up with others from the boards if they are having surgery on or around same time as I am. Thanks!

    Hi Ivy, I have watermelon in my fridge right now! I can start it tomorrow and can't wait. I also bought some yogurt. It takes me about an hour and a half to drink a protein shake, how are you doing with it? I am able to drink normally pretty much which is nice, but try to take small drinks.

    How bout Lurch, like from the Adam's Family Show? He was big and ferocious, in a sweet kind of way.

    I am doing really good Judy, how are you? I just got back from a trip to town, running around. I am feeling good, just a little body fatigue. I feel so good I have to keep reminding myself I just had major surgery. Still sore but not bad, no reflux (havent even been taking nexium),no nausea, hard to drink so much isn't it? I am so happy I did this! I am down 12 pounds since surgery, amazing! It was very nice to meet you also. Say hi to your hubby from us!

    Hi everyone, arrived home last night safe and sound. Dr. Aceves is wonderful just like everyone says, in fact, it may be hard to do him justice! I was so happy to meet Donna, Trudy, Judy, Susan and Ivy (hope I didn't forget anyone) I hope you are all doing well. I am doing great, just really tired today, went to the store for my supplies and walked a bit more than I probably should have, so I am resting this evening. Sipping, burping and taking it easy. I can't believe I actually did it, I almost chickened out the night before, seriously. It was wonderful to have the other ladies there for support, really great. Talk to you all soon.

    Having quite the teary day, ok, I am downright crying and don't know why, I am ready, I want this more than anything, thinking about what if's. Ugh... gonna be a long day!

  8. LizzyM

    Blessings and prayers, will see you soon. Good luck! Mari

    Thank you for the well wishes! The countdown has begun, can't wait to meet you ladies!

    Bookgirl, I am having surgery on the 30th with Aceves. I think there are like 7 of us around a day or two from each other.Hope to get to meet you!

    I had mentioned to someone about possibly upgrading to first class if there is room and they said they might not let me board if they know I just had surgery.... what do you guys think about this? Can they deny you to board if you have a ticket for heavens sakes?

    When you did your pre-op high protein, low carb diet, what types of foods did you eat? I know meat, but did you stick to lower fat choices like chicken and fish, or did you eat beef and pork also? Does it matter as long as it is high protein? I have done Atkins before but wanted to see if eating lower fat made any difference. Thanks for your help.

    Are you getting all set Trudy? You are on the 29th, correct? I am the 30th and Judy is Oct. 1, There is another gal, Sue who will be down there same time as us, I can't remember her surgery date. Doc Aceves is certainly going to be a busy guy, hope he gets some good sleep!

    Hi gals, sorry it took me so long to reply. Can you believe we are all going next week? I started my pre-op today, hope I do well on it. I was on an eating frenzy, so mad at myself. I will start packing my bag probably tomorrow since I am off from work. How are you feeling? I was pretty upset yesterday, lots of tears but handed it over to God last night and I feel relieved. I believe He led me to this point and He will watch over me, over all of us. I can't wait to meet you both!

  15. LizzyM
    Ok girls, it's countdown time! Woohoo for us! How are you feeling? I have been a little nervous and crying but last night, I gave it up to God and He is gonna take it from here! I started my pre-op diet today, hope I do well on it. Hope to hear from you, if not, I will see you all next week.
  16. LizzyM
    Hi Donna, nice to hear from you! Yes, I am nervous as all get out. I would love to meet you also. Including you, there will be 5 of us there at the same time, Myself (Mari), Judy, Sue and Trudy. It is comforting to know some others from the sites will be there. I keep thinking in 2 weeks, it'll all be over and my journey begins. I weigh quite a bit more than you, I am 50. I would like to lose at least 150 pounds, whew, that seems insurmountable. Let's keep in touch, Mari

    I had heard and read that he uses a general anesthesia and also gives you a spinal for more pain control. Can someone clarify for me? Please!
  18. LizzyM

    I am on klonopin 2x a day, don't take every day tho, just when I am feeling the pressure!

  19. LizzyM
    Can you please tell me how much weight you lost during the high protein pre-op diet and how long you did it? Thanks so much! Oops, I spelled Aceves wrong in the title, you think I would not miss a key as many times as I have typed it.

    I am taking anti anxiety pills, which I do anyway, but they sure are helping my stress level with all this. I ordered some unjury chicken soup but have nothing else ready. Are you taking your own pajamas? Mine are huge as I got the wrong size, you, me and Trudy could fit in them but they sure are comfortable, lol. I have been bingeing too, eating at all my favorites restaurants, can't seem to get a grip on it. Meeting with my pcp tomorrow to tell her I am off to Mexicali and ask if she'll do my post op stuff. Sure hope so. I have to work tonight, ugh. Perhaps we can exchange phone numbers before we go and talk "in Person", let me know and I will give you my personal email, well hell, here it is now, wrbteller101@aol.com. Take care, talk to you soon, Mari

  21. LizzyM
    Oh and Lizzy is my "stage name" but you gals can call me Mari, that's Mary with an i.
  22. LizzyM
    I can't wait to meet you both! I am both excited:biggrin0: and scared $#@&less!:glare: Having lots of anxiety. I have not packed anything yet,but have been thinking of a few things. What are you girls packing? Are you taking your own pj's? Or will you change into clothes a day or so after surgery? Heating pad and gas X is first on my list and someone suggested bringing along those little seasoning packets from ramen noodles to make a soup out of on the airplane. I know Ky.hen and I are coming from kinda the same area, Trudy, where are you coming from? My husband is coming with me.
  23. LizzyM
    Trudy, I am happy you will be there also, you, me and Ky.hen, I am sure we will cross paths in the hallways. I feel comforted that you will both be there when I am!
  24. LizzyM

    Hi Judy, I am more nervous right now, very high anxiety, I have waited so long for this and now it's almost here. Scared, excited, wondering, driving myself nuts with it all. I will be so happy to meet you. When you come for your testing, if you can, come visit me, I will be one day post and can't wait to meet you. Mari

  25. LizzyM

    Hi, are you still traveling to Aceves on Oct 1? I am looking forward to meeting you, it's getting close, only 4 more weeks!
