I'll be glad when I can........ get rid of this freaking gas pain. just had to throw that in there.

last week-327.8 cw-326

i had surgery on the 23rd and i must agree the wait is worse. we let our minds take us places that the actual surgery does not. stay positive and i wish you all safe surgeries.

well said RM and i agree

hi all i had srgery around 10:30ish, i can't remember the exact time i was in recovery. my heart rate and BP was high and kept rising. the nurse told me it was 104 right after surgery and she called the anesthiologist once it reached 113. i told her i had to pee but she did not want to get me up. once he called back he said he thught i might need more fluids and to take me to pee before giving me more. by this time my heart rate was 117. well after my BR trip it immediately went down to 104 and my BP dropped. went to xray band looked ok, went to my room. stayed there a few hours longer my choice, i wanted to make sure i was comfy with my vitals. when i was asked i told them i was ready to go. today was a little worse than yesterday as far as pain goes. i was walking around yesterday and im up to abt 10 mins per walk. the NP told me for the 1st week to walk 15 min every hour im awake, im getting there. the gas is horrible like most of you said, once thats gone i can deal with the other pain. its not bad at all. excuse the typos, no contacts and of couse under meds safe recovery to us all

Hey. I'm nervous its after 1 here and I'm still up. My surg is at 10 30. Well wishes everyone.

well ladies (gents if any) we are down to the wire...how are you all doing? i have to drink a gallon of Water today..im 16 oz in, not including my Protein water. im a little nervous well a lot nervous actually but im not canceling, i've waited too long for this. besides i've already done pre-op diet and i do not want to do that again. let me know how you all are doing.

kartman well said. i will use those lines the next time im called a cheater.

I'll be glad when I can... *walk longer than 30 mins without my legs hurting *finally let my hubby carry me over the thresh hold-been married 4 years-way overdue * shop in the non-plus section *just go shopping for smaller clothes period *run around with my 4 y/o for longer than 5 mins *sit in a chair without being afraid it will break *stop tugging at my shirt every 5 mins trying to make sure it's covering my rolls

hey aivey congrats on the 8lbs, take it and enjoy it. keep up the good work

Ok so we are always talking about our dates, pre-op diets etc etc that I needed a break for just a minute. So fill in the blank.. I'll be glad when I can........ It can be anything from fitting into your favorite sz 10 jeans to finally getting to ride the roller coaster....comfortably. Let's share and have fun with this. So I'll be glad when I can........

hey toot thanks girls...i know what yo mean about it going fast. at first i was like "they need to hurry up and give me a date now im like ok here it is only a couple of days left. im really excited though. i cant wait until i start feeling better. im sick of these shakes but they have gotten so much easier to do. im not doing my shopping until wednesday night...i always wait to the last minute to do everything.

congrats losers hey we need more people to chime in....tell us about those great losses

julia great loss so far

SW- 345 (as of july 10)- i needed a SW CW-332.6 i can't remember what i weighed on monday so im just going to use my pre-op diet weight as a start weight. we never really discussed a format or anything so this is how i will do mine going forward. LW WI (last week weigh in) CW (current weight) if you guys come up with something else let me know.

hey you need to add that to your signature, i like it

angelic i have no idea where i am in line. i will not find out until tomorrow. im hoping im before lunch. losingit i agree with you. from reading other post op posts we will not want anything the first few days anyway. now after the pain who knows....we have to get through the gas first lol.

hi all i know we have been quiet on this thread but i just had to post because we are getting so close to "our" day. i hope you all are staying positive on your pre-op diets if you have one. i always thoight people who said it got easier was just talking but it really did get better. i attended a family gathering on saturday and did not cheat. im sure i'll be posting again before the 23rd but if not i want to wish you all the best.

i also have to give myself injections for 7 days after surgery

i agree...im pre-op and im doing it

that is fine with me so are we tracking our losses, do we want to do a start weight or should we use the weights in our tickers as our start weight.

hey thank you for sharing your experience. we have to hear everything because everyone's experience will be different. i like to know all three sides of the story, the good, bad and mine. we are here to support you not be upset because you had a bumpy day. i truly hope you start feeling better. please keep sharing whether its a good/bad day. we are here for you.

lol -you know those were my thoughts too...i was like until im approved im going to just kick back and go with the flow. of course extra weight gained is extra to lose but still i did it. there's also a class i have to go to before i can have my surgery, the class is on the 20th, lol. i did not want to do a band lifestyle change class until i knew i was getting the band.
