9,286 lol it still felt like 10,0000 though in PA

Ok Where are my twins at??? Tomorrow is the big day... I feel a puddle of nerves but on the plus side I ended up losing 5 lbs total last week! Woo hoo! We got this good luck everyone!!

Yes jld I have lost a pound this week on liquids I am on Tuesday. Good luck on Monday!!

Ugh that has to be frustrating a little, but there are a bunch of us on that day too lol... sorry but also at least it is just one day right. I have been on the phones with my dr office today because they are making sure they have all the dr.'s reports and clearances of course I left my binder at home so a little frustrated! I think I am second one going back on the 6th I have to be a the hospital at 5:30am for 7:30am procedure but I believe they sometimes take 6:30am patient... I mean it is in fives days basically!

Congrats!! You are going to do a great job, it is hard to go through this process, best wishes to you as well!

This!! I agree get over day 4 and it is a lot easier!!

I agree so ready right! We are the same day so you are not alone!!

Thinking of you today!

I agree it truly is, but I think you are doing it a great way! and you are right we can do this!!

I have PCOS, and struggled with fertility for years... I conceived with IVF prior to this surgery but complications for PCOS have made this surgery needed. You are doing a great thing for yourself, and I just wanted to say good luck with your journey and congrats on the house!

5 days!!! hope it flies by! I am good thanks, not losing anything this week so far which is strange but still going strong! you are killing it though20 since liquids is amazing!!

Congrats!!! So excited for you!

Welcome! You are strong! I am not sure I could do a four week fast! that is impressive!

Tomorrow is NOVEMBER!!!! and I know we have a few that are scheduled for tomorrow! Good luck you got this!!!

Welcome and Congrats!!

Enjoy your time now and just keep preparing I remember thinking omg I ready already and thinking everything was moving really slow but it didn't it moved pretty fast in the end, and I am feeling pretty good with the prework I have done, and I think also during the two week prep seeing the scale move a little faster is also pretty motivating. Thanks for the luck! I will keep you all posted!

I drink something warm when this happens for me and it usually is pretty ok after that! can you believe it is single digits!! Woo hoo!

just ordered my last round of shakes, and made child care arrangements next Tuesday can't believe it is here soon!

hope the bday party was fun, and I think there are a lot of people whose plans include some actual lean protein, but I think it was awesome that you knew your limit and prepared that in itself is a pretty great goal. I can't believe I am losing at all on this preop diet, I literally never lose weight so it is building up hope that all of this will work since I have started to now it has been 24lbs.... I am amazed and my thought of what would be nice for myself was 275 pre surgery I am holding strong at 276.4 so hopefully this next week it will be achieved.

Good Luck!! I am excited for you! I think do what will make you comfortable for Turkey day, I know for me in class they said by January day of your surgery they lift all restrictions so for me January 6th and so I am going to miss holiday grub this year and I am ok with that. I wasn't really planning any monitoring type things other that scale... but I do have a skirt and a dress in my closet I have never worn that maybe I will keep an eye on... good luck!

Your 2 week prep is pretty similar to mine! I am loving cucumbers and peppers!

I am day 4 today.... I FORGOT MY SHAKES Lol it is okay though I found a protein water in the car and will make do with that plus I am leaving early, Anyway just wanted to let you know I am on day 4 today and my headaches are gone 1st two days were tough each day out gets a bit easier! I am on the 6th and so I will see you on the losers bench!!

You will do great!! Good luck!

You got this, I was hoping that day 4 would be easier for you! my husband keeps saying it will all be worth it... lol I know he is right but at the moment I am just going day by day! I am fearing the weekend because I don't want to too much downtime to focus on my hunger you know?

Hi There- my presurgical testing was to go over procedure, sign some forms ask questions, and go over medical history. Then they looked at my last labs and ordered some updated ones. I think it lasted about 20 minutes because I had a lot of questions lol.
