Thanks everyone. Had a honest talk with my wife tonight. After some tears we did hug and kiss. Separation has been hard.

I asked today, she is thinking about it. I have sf popsicles. I can go on full liquids pod 4. I have premier shakes, will get more. I am getting more Jello, broth, a small spoon, plate, Water, medicine cup. Anything else? Maybe a heating pad.

I appreciate all the support

2-3 days

Thanks for the hug!

Hey all please send up some good thoughts and prayers. My wife and are are in a temporary marriage separation after 22 years together. (I have hope this will pass and believe I am doing my part to reconcile) I am staying with a friend for now. I have no plans of delaying my Oct 8 th date even if I am not at home, but will recover alone because my friend is gone a great deal of the time. Had preop this am at hospital, down 18 lbs and I just have to stick to this no carb diet 12 more days. After surgery, I have two weeks off of work. I am an RN so I think I can make good post op decisions... My wife may or may not meet me the morning of surgery. Another friend can take me, but then he has to leave for work. I could just drive myself perhaps. Thought I'd just tell my Doc the wife had to stay at home with the kids. I have three daughters, miss them a lot. Help me see this clearly. Thanks Chad

The first 7 hours of my preop diet has gone well! Come on 10/08/12!

Any other Octosleevers from Florida?

About 20 lbs down, two week no carb preop starts Monday, 9/24! Can't wait to do this. I am at 302 lbs this week. Hope to start this as much under 300 as possible. We can do this!

Manual Lymph Drainage is very specialized in technique, requires special training.

Almost!

Only 3 weeks until surgery! Going for a walk to get more ready!

For the most part the childrens menu may not be the healthiest options... I am not sure I like the card idea. I am choosing wls. Not the restaurants fault I can't finish a portion.

Not completely sure... Surgery is Oct 8. Time to start dreaming again!

Do you have post nasal drip? That could make one ill.
