    I guess I’ll get the Hubby to get it.. not feeling too great, plus this weather is retarded here in NY .. yesterday was so cold.. today is beach day. Killing me man! But thanks I will ask him to get it for me. Couldn’t sleep at all.

    And awww luck you.. my period is evil, pain, bloating everything that comes with it I got it. Horrible feeling right now. hugs and good day!

    I hope you feel better ASAP! I just got over an awful upper respiratory infection that started with sore throat then lots of head and chest congestion and hacking up my lungs! Took me about 10 days, but glad it wasn't closer to my surgery date. 1 week from today my life changes!

    And that sucks about that time of the month, I finally went last year and had a uterine ablation procedure that has helped me so much with mine, I rarely have any bleeding at all now!

    Welcome to the new folks!

    Good luck to our surgery buds who are having surgery today!!! Can't wait to hear back from y'all!!

    Happy All Saints Day. It rained last night, so no Halloween tricksters here. So glad I didn't buy candy. We watched our boys lose to the Dodgers last night. Game 7 tonight.

    Going to my physical therapy evaluation this morning. Have arthritis/bursitis/sacroilliitis(sp?)--so hoping to build core strength and work on some things that might give me pain relief. Crossing fingers! I woke up to a 3lb loss. I never have big losses like this, so figured it's a fluke. I only recorded 1lb of it. LOL. Tomorrow morning is my last meeting with the RD. I will have lost a couple of pounds from last visit which is awesome, and still be right at the 40BMI reading. Getting close. Getting close!

    What are you up to today? Are you working your plan?

    Good Morning! We had nice weather last night which was good for the Trunk or Treat even we went to, they had a really nice turnout and man was there a lot of candy being passed out!! I am on day 5 of my liquid Optifast diet and am doing pretty well I think. I did sneak 2 little mini candy bars last night though and then I felt really guilty and mad at myself! :48_weary: BUT, according to my scales this morning, I have lost 8 lbs so far. Just trying my best to stay positive, have a very busy day at work today which has tried to get me in a bad mood but I am not gonna let it! Keeping a smile on my face :)

    Good luck with your PT appointment today, I hope they can help you! And congrats on the 3 lb loss!

    Hope to hear from more of our November gang today and hope everyone has a great hump day!

    What are you doing? Have you started your pre-op liquids yet?

    Wow what a selection!! I HAVE to do Optifast only, 5 shakes a day to equal 800 calories. STARVING HERE!!! LOL and wiping the drool as I think about the Halloween candy I DON'T get to eat when I go to a Trunk or Treat event with the kids this evening :/

    I see you're an inch taller than me and are about 10ish pounds lighter. Are you at all concerned about the BMI? I can't remember, are you doing a revision from the band to the sleeve? me=very little memory :blink:

    I was worried with my BMI being only 37-38... but I also have 3 other co-morbities :/

    My surgery was moved to tomorrow. The preop diet is where I'm at & I'm on is day 6. Doing great. I mean, yes-some hunger, but mostly Im ok.

    I requested a gallbladder removal but the Dr said they don't routinely do that. I told him I had a fam history of gallstones & he did a abd ultrasound & found a huge 3.5cm x 2.8cm gallstone!!!! (2inches!) yikes! Anyway so they said I'm going in a week early. The good news is now I'm only on the preop liquid diet a week instead of 2! Yaay! I've lost 7 pounds so far, but only after I figured out to use LOW SODIUM BROTHS!! Nothing came off til then & it all came off suddenly thereafter. Anyway I guess I was holding onto Water weight but yet, the scale still dropped weight. Hey, weight lost is weight lost right!!! Anyway I'm sooo scared of going in tomorrow- I guess we all fear the worst but it's still going under deep anesthesia and risk of bleeding exists. 😳 😱

    Oh wow!! Good that they went ahead and did the ultrasound. And lucky you, only having to do one week of the liquid diet! Wish I could be that lucky! I am counting down the days till my surgery. Wishing you the best tomorrow, hope it all goes smoothly, I'm sure it will. Keep us posted when you feel up to it! :)

    Hi Everyone! This is my first post here, I finally got my surgery date, November 10th! Can't wait but starting to feel a little nervous as well. I start my 2 week liquid pre-op diet 3 weeks from today. I have to admit... I am eating the bad things that I will have to give up after surgery until I start the liquid diet! ^_^
