Good Morning!! I feel so much better, THANK YOU EVERYONE!! I listened to the CD last night Kaiser gave me and fell asleep to it. It really relaxed me, but I had some weird dreams LOL!! I woke up with a small stuffy nose and small sore throat; not good. But I slept with my heater on all night so I think that might have been why. Its time to change the filter. Nicole ~ I'll save your number and make sure that Ron adds you into the text I will have him send. HAPPY RAINY TUESDAY EVERYONE!!!

I have Jello, and gas x strips, that's it so far. I haven't gone to Safeway, I am tomorrow morning bright and early.

Thanks Pam, I am hoping I am the first. Sooooo I am sitting here, feeling like I am going to cry. I AM SO SCARED!!! I have been fine up until today. I am so terrified of doing this! I am not scared of anything but the being put to sleep part, that's it. Did anyone else feel scared, etc!?

Surgery 1.20.10 and scared!!
Hi everyone! Being banded 1/20/2010 and am freaking out!! I have people telling me I don't need this ( I have lost 35 lbs pre band as required by my dr), there's bad things behind surgeries, everything! it's stressing me out. I am the most paranoid person there is, so this scares me. Just looking for some good positive vibes for the day after tomorrow!!

Kaiser Richmond Pre-op

Good morning everyone!! Pam ~ Dieters tea helps clean out your system if you know what I mean here's the kind I have: http://www.lacilebeau.com/Store/ProductDetails.aspx?Matnr=1023 put it this way, I was down almost 2 lbs after but mine makes you cramp HORRIBLY. Heather ~ Thank you!! I am getting super nervous!! Nicollie ~ I have missed you!!! OMG I CANT SLEEP ALL NIGHT ANYMORE!! I wake up thinking about surgery, I think about what I will be like pain wise when I wake up, etc. I CANT STOP!! HELP!! LOL!! 2 more days!!!!!!!!

Good Morning! Lee ~ I will be in building A, secord floor I believe is where the surgery takes place. From there I am unsure? Anyone know the answer? I know Tues I have to call @ 1:30 and find out my surgery time. Are they all in the morning?? You will be at goal by the end of this week, I can feel it! Maybe even by Weds!! Mo ~ I am good at grits but I am better at adding all the magic of bacon and butter at the end LOL!! I will be eating those instead of cream of wheat that's for sure! Jess ~ The one I had woke me up last night with the WORSE CRAMPS EVER!! I believe it's the "Senna" in this one...ouch! It reminded me why it's been in the cuboard untouched! For eating yesterday: Breakfast - My usual venti latte that as of today (Sunday) are no more until after my surgery. Lunch - 1/2 roast chicken with salad/ranch and a piece of pita bread Dinner - NONE. I just wasn't hungry and when I did feel the hunger coming is when I downed the diet tea. Walked 2 miles yesterday. Happy Sunday everyone!!!

Jess ~ I got lucky and found some in the bathroom I bought a while back; Started it tonight! Tina ~ Thanks! too bad you arent' closer! I didn't know you lived sooo far away! I am worried about the baby too but everyone works around me. My mom doesn't have PTO, shes a nurse who takes care of an elderly woman close to my house. She told me she can't miss more then Tues/Weds, but she can take her again Thursday when she is off @ 2 pm. My ex is aware too that he might need to take Friday off so I can just rest...but that's a whole nother story...LOL Brings me to something. I am weird and I have a full size bed that is NOT on a frame, I like having it low...how the HELL am I going to get in it?? My mom wants me to buy a frame tomorrow. My couch is pretty high up, but couch equals baby/pets.... wow, If I had a Feb date I woulda had more time to prepare....LOL....

Kaiser Richmond Pre-op
That sounds great Tina, please do tell him. Tell him to be gental and safe with me too. LOL. Jess I went to Safeway, Walgreens, and Longs (CVS) and couldn't find the tea. Where do I get it?
-
Kaiser Richmond Pre-op
Tina where do you live? Pat ~ Don't let the stress get to you!! I have been trying to stay calm all this weekend, I need to prepare. I am going to listen to the CD they gave us also. As for my daughter my mom is taking her the night before the surgery and I am getting her the day after. My ex is going to take Friday off to help me also. I told him he has to keep Brianna from jumping/hanging/grabbing me, she's pretty rough. Also need to keep the dog/cats away from me, as they love jumping on my belly. So I broke two of my nails off today on my right hand, and my bf says uh its suppose to be one on each hand LOL! Now I will be missing 3! leave it up to me!

Thanks John!! I will see you on the banded side! LOL...enjoy your vacation!! Have fun tonight ladies! Breakfast - 1 Venti Skinny Latte Lunch - 1/2 herb roast chicken with salad and ranch, small piece of pita bread Dinner - Will be an atkins shake My mom and I went to Vallejo and did the walk we all did, but we only last 1 mile and 1 mile back. She has lower back problems so we had to go slow...but hey excersize is excersize for me!!!
