I hope you all have a safe surgery and a speedy recovery. Best of luck, Let us when you get back and please let us know how you're doing! Time to toss away those pounds!!! :Banane57::Banane22:

Hello all - I started clear liquids yesterday in preparation for the day before prep (and we all know what that is!!) I didn't sleep very well at all last night. I took a 3 hour nap yesterday afternoon and then watched a movie until 1:45 am. I tossed and turned when I layed down and flip flopped all night. I think I'll take some Tylenol PM tonight to make me sleep better. I can't believe I only have two more days. My drive to the hospital will only take 10-15 minutes, tops, so that will be good. Good luck to those being banded today

Good luck ericsmom! My drive to the hospital is only 10-15 min as well! Aren't we lucky?

I feel your pain about not being able to sleep! I'm so stressed out about the surgery because its my first surgery, that sleep is a precious comodity. Tylenol PM would be great right about now.. I think I will take it if I ever have time to sleep!

I'm really excited about the surgery but in shock that its only 2 days away, and so I'm kind of numb about it. I've been showing my stress in odd ways like overeating when I KNOW I'm full. And I'm not eating bad foods right now- mostly soft foods like seafood, but I'm eating alot of it when I eat. I'm going to go on liquids for most of tomorrow, and then POW- I'll be at the hospital! Tomorrow is the first day I can sleep without an alarm clock in a month, so I'm going to sleep as long as possible!

Best wishes for a quick recovery!

Loriely, I thought I was going to be the only one on July 6. It is fast approaching! I'm pretty nervous. The only surgery I have had was tonsils when I was 12. I don't even remember it.

Well Good Luck!

Good luck you guys!!! OMG! What an exciting time! Sleep well, have a happy 4th, and enjoy the pampering after surgery.

I can't believe it's almost time...

I'm so hungry! I was doing fine with the protein shakes, but now that I'm on clear liquids, I'm feeling "icky" if that makes sense. Very sluggish. Tomrrow I have to drink that Magnesium Citrate stuff - eeewww! Should be an interesting evening.

Good luck to everyone else - You'll all be in my thoughts and prayers

Stephanie,

Good luck tomorrow...you'll do great!

Thanks...I'm starting to get nervous...

Stephanie,

Just wanted to wish you lots of great luck and a fast recovery. Wanted to send you a hug before you left. I'll be leaving myself in a couple of days as will Amy. Please let me know how your doing so I can know what to expect. I'm very nervous.

Prayers sent to you all.

I am being banded on the 14th of July!!

am sorta nervous, btu just spent the weekend with family and a family friend who has been overweight most of her life, she encouraged me by telling me how nice it will be to grow old and enjoy life and not have to have all of the health problem she experiences. I just keep her thoughts in mind when I get nervous.
