I'm not having a child naturally but am in the adoption process. So I anticipate being a parent soon, too!

Many congrats on all of your success and your coming bundle of joy!

You'll need that one night, at least, in the hospital. Congrats on taking this first step for the rest of your life! I remember being so nervous the night before surgery, but so excited as well! I couldn't anticipate the many wonderful ways my life was about to change, and it's been even better than I thought it would be!
Good luck and welcome to the loser's bench!

I agree with the above, but also be sure to check out thrift stores and resale shops. You would be surprised at the quality things you can sometimes find.

Could you just let them bring you the Water and not drink it? I mean, it is free and would save you some harassment.

The only point I would make is that the Unjury has lots of Protein.< /p>

Hi Donna,I just emailed Melissa about the laxatives. She told me that the doctor recommends one dose three days before your surgery. That is also what Louise told me.

Well, this is it! I leave my hotel for the surgeon's office in a couple of hours. Like those who have gone before, I can hardly believe it. My life is about to change forever!
I appreciate the prayers of those who believe in prayer (I do!) and the well-wishes of all. I am mildly nervous, but nothing major at all.

You should join us in the secret July Facebook group.

Obviously, men's clothes don't come sized that way, but I can honestl say that vanity is a huge motivator for me. Clearly, I want to be healthy. Yet, I am not at all ambivalent about saying that I want to feel like I look good. I want to not be the fat guy. And yeah, I love clothes (always have) and want to again wear tailored suits and have them look good. In addition, as I told a friend, I am gonna wear fitted, slim and skinny everything, so look out!

Wildflower, I will be sleeved by Dr. Almanza on July 9. I will let you know how it goes.

Sending lots of positive energy to the sleevers from July 5 and those going today! Y'all are gonna rock those sleeves!

I'm gonna say no. My heart has been broken by too many straight boys!
I kid. I kid. LOL

I'm not advocating that you cheat and like what the previous posters have said. I have come to believe, though, that the vast majority of folks cheat at least a little bit on their pre-op diets. But they are able to recover and then do what they need to do, so it doesn't become a problem. I actually think doctors expect it.
That said, you've done it, so now pull yourself together and do what you need to do!

I want to go roller skating this year! I looked into it before & loved roller skating as a child, but wouldn't do it other years b/c of my weight. Now that I've lost some of my excess weight & inches, I'd love to do it this year. I know that no matter what I do, from now on I don't want to go out to eat for my birthday. I don't want my birthday to be related to food anymore. Depending on what we do, we might eat while we are out somewhere, but I don't want the actual focus to be food. I want it to be how great I feel for getting my life back & being more active!

I am sorry that your husband lost his job and that you had to cancel the surgery. Sending positive energy and the assurance that things will turn around soon. Try to remain encouraged.

Yep 5 Months today, I know you want to know my numbers!!! Ok 83 Pounds lost to date. I have had some stalls along the way, My personal goal is to lose 100 pounds by AUGUST 19 the day I leave for my Cruise to Belize. Please Pray for me and my continued weight lost.
How do I feel? Amazing, I work out allot and try to push myself. 4 Miles walks is what I am up to, it may take me 1 hour 20 mins but Im in it to win it!
