Thanks

Yes will do. I’ll get one of those plastic resizable reuseable ones that people think hide easier to make myself feel like I’m getting away with something super cool.

Yes we have dine in theaters. So I was thinking what would be good for that in weeks to come. I just love the movies and wondered what people did.

Going Monday 10/29. Good luck everyone in November right behind me on the losers bench. Those of you this week how are you feeling. Anyone nervous like I am for tomorrow?

Yeah you have to book them early. I know some cast members though. Sometimes they drop them again. My surgery is Monday. So it’s something I want to get into.

Anyone interested please let me know- and comment! I would like to get a few post op people to gether to do 5K and 10K with- as well as eventually run a half or a full. RunDisney.com has lots of information. I live in orlando area- and would love to connect with others who do these events!

Did anyone do Orange Theory? I am just curious, as I would like to do it post op with a friend!

What snacks and drinks do you normally order post op?

What are you watching right now? Or waiting to see at the theaters? What do you normally snack on at the movies, or drink after surgery?

Good luck. I’m wondering if there’s any closer to me after surgery too?

Any groups or support for us after surgery in the orlando area? Or winter garden where I am located. Just curious. My surgery is Monday and want to compile a list. Or any other online links and groups.

Hello Florida friend Do you do any support groups?

Winter Garden Florida/Orlando Florida here. Original Columbus Ohio/Delaware Ohio

Yes on the losers bench. I am ready for Monday. It’s a wicked journey. Hut totally worth it.

You can do it

10/29 is so close now. Plus I really like the little quote for the day. Adjusting my sails is absolutely right.

2 days. Technically one left. Surgery 8:30am on Monday.

Thanks everyone. I am ready.... getting my health on track is the most important. I work 8-4:30 tomorrow and I feel like at work I’m gonna be ready to get home already and get the ball going. At the same time I don’t want to come home and overthink things. We will see how tomorrow goes- then I got to come home take the shower with the special soap they gave me and get some sleep. At least try too. Hopefully I’ll have a friend with me. Otherwise I’ll be going alone and just making phone calls as I can to update people. As my family isn’t near me.

packing my hospital bag- getting ready. spending time with the dog. making sure the roommate has groceries why I am gone. Dropping off prescriptions I need after the surgery. its so real now!

Thanks everyone and good luck to all those going on Monday!

Today I finished my pre op testing and appointment- its real, 5 days left before surgery, I cannot belive it has come so fast. What did people need at the hospital? What did you take? What were some concerns that would help to ask beforehand to avoid before being sent home? Things to ask doctors or nurses about? I am just extremely nervous feeling like I am missing things I will need, or mess something up pre - op. I have the jitters..... So preparing ideas, or anything encouraging right now would be aweosme. Thanks guys. ANyone else my surgery buddy on 10/29

I am sure someone probably posted this before- but if not- Everyone should check out the hidrate spark bottle. I have the second generation and I love this thing. It connects to a phone app, counts your amounts for you- reminds you to drink throughout the day, and even flashes at you as a visual reminder if you aren't looking at your phone. I have been trying mine since I found out I was going to have surgery and I am way ahead in the water that I used to drink. I have a link if you PM for 10 percent off- but please know that I also get a percentage off my next bottle... If you aren't looking to order online, I found mine at Target in the USA- I am not sure about internationally. However this has been an amazing tool to use- and I thought it was worth sharing. Another great tool I bought that I am loving is the Tespo vitamin dispenser - again if you are interested I can send a link that I have to give you 20.00 off the machine or first order for friends. I am using the sleep pods and vitamins pre op and I am really loving sleeping through the night, and the energy pod does actually keep me boosted working. I will admit I haven't tried the bariatric formula yet- as my surgery isn't until 10/29/2018. I just thought I would take the time to share these two items, and let you know I find them pretty valueable. I do believe the only way to get Tespo right now for those who might as is online. Again I do not want to post links here in the forum- but if you PM me - I can send you refferal codes. Otherwise check the products out on your own, and see if they could be a tool for you on your journey! :) Also if anyone else knows of any other cool tools or things to use- please add to this topic. As I would like to find something to help with portions.

@Lynnlovesthebeach Thanks so much. Speedy recovery friends. I started 1/2 liquids this weekend. And Monday going full liquids. Today was mostly liquids. I had a few crackers and peanuts. I ate a veggie burger and milk shake - the bun and sugar carbs is what got me. But I hit over 120 protein and spent the evening walking disney hitting over 10000 steps in two hours or so. So I’m preparing. I am with Dr Txerirea. (Spelling) but I am so ready.
