In 24 Hrs I Will Be At The Hospital!

I'm feeling nervous and excited and ready to be on the loser's bench! You all are still saving my seat, right?!?! The liquid diet has been tough but I'm proud that I have done it and lost 11.5 lbs as of this morning :) Will be checking in as soon as I can manage it to let you all know how everything went!

Thanks Lissa!!! I am excited myself! Can't believe it is really here and my life will be changed tomorrow. I know there will be some rough times but I will keep my eye on the prize - and that prize is me! I have to be at the hospital at 730 and Mr. J has to be there at 6 so I guess our surgeries will probably be maybe 8 and 10 or something like that. I don't know how long the prep/wait is but that is my guess. Will keep you updated!

Good luck to you, and sending prayer your way. My date is the 28th. I started my liquid diet today and am a bit nervous about my success with it as the first protein shake of the day tasted fine, but did make me nauseous. We shall see. Can't wait to find out how you're doing. Congrats on the 11+ pounds!!!:-)

Thanks SusieQs! Sorry to hear your shake made you nauseous! I have done just ok with shakes. They don't make me nauseous but I also don't really like them at all and right now I can't imagine being able to take in a whole shake or more post op when I know how tiny the sips have to be and how long it will take. I tend to drink mine down quickly while they are really cold but I won't be able to do that after today so we'll see how it goes! Good luck with your liquid diet. It was tougher than I expected but did go quite fast. Will update you all as I can!

Jess

Good luck tomorrow!! We wait to hear both of your fantastic outcomes!!

Blessings to you!

Good luck! I'll be right behind you on Wednesday. Save me a seat on the losers bench.

I will be thinking of you tomorrow and sending positive energy your way. You will begin to Rock your Sleeve tomorrow for sure! Welcome to the big Loser's Club! ;)

Last Monday I was in your shoes! This Monday I'm home and down 14lbs! Don't get me wrong - It hasn't been the easiest, but you can do it!! Good luck tomorrow and welcome to the losers bench:)
