Hi Pezo,

I'm doing good too. It does take some getting used to though doesn't it? Good going on the 12 lbs lost! I figure as long as the numbers go down and not up I shouldn't complain. I lost tons last week (15) and only 1 this week. Go figure. So I've lost a total of 21 since surgery.

Hi Anya. I'm getting bored too. Yesterday was a bad day emotionally. Up and down. Getting very tired of the thin liquids. Tomorrow I can have full liquids so having cream of wheat for breakfast. Can't wait! LOL never thought I'd be excited about Cream of Wheat! How's your pain? I haven't had to take any pain med today. So I'm doing better! Hoping to go to work tomorrow at least for a little while. My hubby's been laid up with a pinched nerve in his back also this week, so haven't gotten much help from him! Go figure. LOL

Hi everyone who has visited. If I don't answer you it is because I'm having trouble figuring out the ins and outs of navigating this site. I don't see a place to reply to these messages if they are from someone new to me.... frustrating. If you can help me I'd appreciate it!!

Hi Anya! How are you doing? My surgery was at 740 in the morning (but he was a little late). I did stay overnight (all his patients do), and I was glad. I don't think I could have handled it at home. I had trouble with nausea that first night and in pain. I am over that now though and still taking pain meds, but hope not too much longer for them either.

Yep we are in this together. Stay in touch. I have not been too hungry yet, are you? I'm sure it will kick in pretty soon, but so far have been satisfied with the liquids I have to take. On thin liquids for a week. Then full liquids. How about you? Take care of yourself!

Hi LIB? I am home and recovering nicely also. Glad to here you're ok. Yeah, I still have to take some pain meds, but they help a lot. I have the liquid kind, do you too? I was at the hospital overnight. How about you? I haven't been too hungry yet, but I imagine that will kick in soon. Keep in touch. We can do this!!

Just saying Hey! I'm getting banded on the 23rd also. I've found 4 others including you so far. I am excited but a little nervous. Mine is scheduled for 740am. Ugh! Have to be there by 540 and will be there overnight. How about you? Keep in touch. It would be nice to travel this journey with a buddy!

By the way, I love your picture! It's very nice!

Hi, Anyuk!

Just wondering how you are doing. Are you ready for Monday? I am! But still a little nervous. We can do this! It will be nice to have someone else go through the same thing as me at the same time. My surgery is 740am. What about yours? Good luck!

Hi LIB!

Do you have a pre-op diet? I am seeing my doctor tomorrow for pre-op information, etc. I think I have to be on clear liquids for the rest of the week. Ugh. I will be worth it though. I can't wait! 7 more days!! Good luck with yours!

I hope I just approved it right (for my friend's list). How long do you have to do the liquid diet before-hand. I think I have to do it all next week! But it will be worth it. Good luck with your surgery also! Keep in touch!
