  1. Is it worth it?

    · tdtucker · 12/13/2009 15:12

    I have heard that question a million times since my surgery on Wednesday. I am 4 days post-op and would do it again in a heartbeat. Even going through the trouble I had, it is worth it. It is worth getting my life back. It is worth being able to play with my niece, who is the light of my life, and not get winded after a few minutes. It is worth coming off the $300 a month worth of medicines I am on a month, most of which will go away once I lose the weight. It is worth the energy I can already feel bubbling just below the surface. It is worth walking into any store and picking something up off the rack and it fitting rather than having to order everything through mail order. Most of all it is worth the knowing that I have done something that will make me healthy, healthier than I have been in many many years. So my answer to the question is, YES it is worth it!:tongue2:

  2. Over half way there

    · tdtucker · 12/01/2009 10:34

    I am half way through this liquid pre-op diet. Down 8 pounds!!! I hope I lose everything I am supose to lose on this diet so my liver is shrunk(sp) and Dr. Veninga has no trouble when he gets in there. I kept waking up all night thinking in 8 days I will be banded. That is exciting and scary at the same time. There is so much I need to get ready for. I will need to go to the store to make sure I have the items I need for the 2 weeks of Full liquids after surgery. Then a crazy thought hits me....I could call the city and order the smaller trash and recycle bins, I won't need big ones anymore...lol
    I know super random thoughts.:wink2:
