OMG 10 vials of blood? Don't tell me that! My pre-op is Monday which is a holiday for us so yippee! I'm going to work Tues and then be on vacay Wed (since I have to be up so early) and to get everything squared away... AND I AM GOING TO VOTE - WOOHOO!!! I wish the election were over already; I'm tired of discussing it and tired of arguing! Ack!

PS - I hope you are celebrating your birthday this weekend since you obviously won't want to Wed!!!

Ugh - I will be enjoying jello and water very soon! Are you panicking at all? I'm getting a little nervous!!

Yes we did!!!!!!! I'm just giddy today about obama!!!!!

Look at you quoting Frost!!

I always have trouble getting in enough water! I guess I should be keeping up on the realize site huh? lol

some words!

Why thankee and vice versa! :thumbup:

OMG you have a choc cheesecake protein drink recipe? Please share!!!

I agree with yettia about your being inspirational! Besides the fact that I'm um 7 years older, we have very similar stats. I hope to get banded next month so I too will be wearing a *small* gorgeous dress!! :-)

Hey there! I'm doing well; how are you doing? I started back working yesterday but this week I'm at home-thankfully! I had been down 13.5 but then Aunt Flo showed up, that bish, so I gained some water weight. She's gone and took the water and 3 more pounds. Yippee! So 2 weeks out, I'm down 16.5. Not great but good! Have you taken it a little easier, i hope? I cannot wait til mushies; I am sooooo sick of shakes!

Hi Glou!!! Less than two weeks for you!

I did clear liquids yesterday and was majorly cranky! I had a headache and my stomach growled all day!! I haven't had anything today yet but I'm definitely less miserable. I thought about you off and on yesterday and am thinking about you now! I hope you're doing OK in the hospital. :smile:

I'll bet! I'm nervous just to make my appointment! LOL

Woot, woot! Hi, sugah!!! :-D

Bimbabe - you crack me up! I'm such a goof and never think to look here for messages! Did you buy the size 16 something or another at the mall? I'm sure they appreciated your business!!!

Oh and PS - funny that I just read your Palin comment. I am currently in the process of putting together an email to 2 Republican gf's explaining why I despise Sarah Palin. I had dinner with a friend from college and her hubby. She looked at me like I had 3 heads and said, "are you a Democrat? Is Cindy (another friend from college) a Democrat?" I said, "uh yes, Lori." I wish I'd said, "It's not a DISEASE, Lori." Please God, let this election be over!!!

Hey there! I am getting over a case of shingles (wth?!?). I've only lost 20 lbs since banding; whatta loser! And how are YOU doing!?! :-)

Good to hear from you!

Hey hun! No I'm not having bad gas pains, thankfully. Did you walk much at the hospital? What are you eating/drinking now?
