GONNALOSEWEIGHT

Love the new pics! You look absolutely fabulous....Congrats!

Good luck to you and your surgery today. You are in my thoughts and prayers, congratulations on your SLEEVE!!!!

I'm doing great Judy! How are things with you? I get to start full liquids tomorrow but have adapted so well to my clears - sounds funny - I think it is going to take some effort. I will upload our group picture this weekend. I haven't been online much, I went back to work on Monday and just taking care of things around my house (had to decorate for Halloween). This is the most I have really been on at all. I've logged in a few times to "check" to see how everyone is going. Thanks for checking in on me!

Hi Cajun,

I'm doing alright, this is the first time I've even been on my computer since I got home on Friday. I am Very tired, how much longer do I have to look forward to that. What have been your biggest challenges so far? Thank you so much for checking in with me. Keep in touch!

Thank you Judy, I just checked in for my flight and have my boarding pass! 24 hour countdown - I'm SO EXCITED!!!!! I will see you on Wednesday.

Hi Mari,

Nope haven't even packed and still need to shop. My son went to visit my parents, his dad and other grandparents last week and instead of coming home today, he's stayed with my parents until I get home from my surgery. I'm trying to cope with not having him around and keep looking at the calendar and seeing that it will be a month before I get to hug him. So I am going to be on this board A LOT passing time. I will be shopping tomorrow night and then getting out the suitcase and putting it all together. I am on the 29th, Sue's date is the same as Judy's on the 1st. It looks like I will be there the same dates as Ivy, but I haven't gotten any response from her? There is also Susan who will be there for her's on the 28th. We will have a full house to keep him on his toes! Good news though I am down 7lbs on the pre-op diet! Are you packed, ready? Have you started the pre-op diet?

Hi Judy!

I just found another lady who will be joining you on the 1st for her VSG. She doesn't have a home computer and can not access this site from work. Her friend Lavanda contacted me. Lavanda had surgery May 21st and has lost 62lbs.!

Sue's email:

Pretty soon we are going to have the whole ward figured out for support! Now if I can only locate someone arriving on the 28th for VSG on the 29th. Oh well, I'm sure I will meet them in less than 2 weeks!!!

Phew, thanks Judy now I don't feel like such a freak about the eating. I am going to the store tomorrow at lunch to pick up the slim fast low carb shakes. I have some meal bars and snacks from slim fast....I'm going to "cut down" to these first and then watch my carbs extra close next week. Keep me posted on what you eat and what troubles you find. I will do the same. I think less time to "prepare" the better....didn't many of us get here from eating too much do to stress LOL. Thanks for the response.

Hey Judy!

I was just checking in to see how you were doing? Are you starting to get ready for the VSG? I'm having an awful time...the closer it gets the more I seem to eat. I was wondering if you felt them same or if you were having better luck. I am starting to think about starting the pre op diet a week ahead of time just to get out of this eating craze. Please let me know how you are doing. Look forward to hearing from you.

My son is 3 and I have thousands of pictures (love my digital camera)! LOL. I will have my laptop, maybe I should bring some pages for my scrapebook I want to do for him. Who knows we might find a little time for you to show me a few tricks if you don't mind? I almost feel like this is going to be a mini vacation....I get to be waited on and in my pjs and not have to worry about what my son is into and where he is at..... SO LOOKING FORWARD TO THIS STEP FOR A NEW LIFE but know I won't be able to wait to get home to Bug (his name is David, however I call him Bug and I tend to forget to clarify that and I often have people ask me "what is your son's name" - funny some of my friends can't even remember his real name lol).

Trudy

Hi! Are you getting ready for your travels? When Vegas Angel mentioned how small the area was I am sure we will be able to be in contact with one another! I am looking forward to it, although I have to leave my son at home, I am still excited as I am doing this for me & him! Good luck and I look forward to staying in touch with you!

Trudy

That would be great! I am so excited and nervous at the same time. Vegas Angel and Rosebud2 live in my area and they are going to get together in Sept. pro-op for me and they asked if I would like to join them...I said of course! I just want to get an idea from them what they ate pre-op and what they had at their house waiting for them to return? And little questions, just for reassurance. If you have anything you would like me to ask them "face to face" let me know and I will be happy to share with you.

Please stay in touch...we can get through these next four weeks together!
