Well today is THE DAY!!! I'm sitting in the middle of my bed freshly scrubbed, dressed and ready to go [i don't leave for another hour but so what!] I have packed and re-packed my bag so I hope I don't forget anything.

My sister and I are going in today for the VSG. She goes first, I go second. She's a few years older than me and deserves to go first, that is how we were raised. She is my older sister and we were taught to respect each other no matter what. Love that woman more than words could ever say!!:heart: :kiss: :heart: :kiss:

We went and picked up our Mom last night so that she could be with us. Our husbands and grown children will all be there. Yes we are a very close knit family. :)

We have researched and prayed over this procedure for months so we are more than ready. We will post an update tomorrow and let everyone on this fabulous board know how we are doing.

Peace & Blessings to everyone!

Hi Fairyfaye!! Dang you are already back at work??? You are a real woman!!:) I'm not going back until the Tuesday after Memorial Day. We are doing great! I went for a walk outside yesterday to the end of my subdivision and then sat by the Water to watch the ducks for about 30 mins. Felt really good to have the sun on my skin!! I go for my 1 week pre op tomorrow so I'm excited about that. According to my scale I've lost 5 lbs since my surgery but I'll take whatever weight loss I can get!!

Honey my incisions are itching too!!! I just keep my stomach well oiled with grapeseed oil or sweet almond oil to make sure the skin doesn't get too dry. Congrats on the 8lbs!!!!

Today I mixed some chicken/rice/noodles Soup together in a blender with alot of chicken broth. It was really good and didn't hurt that much. I'm glad to hear that you are doing so well. Take care and keep in touch!

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
