I have to be at Forest Park by 6:30 am for prep on 9/4. I'm really nervous, excited and scared all at the same time. They did not give me a specific surgery time but based on the time it took for my EGD last week it will probably be a couple hours or so after the time I'm supposed to be there. I hope it's not a long time after my prep the waiting is awful and creates a lot of anxiety for me. I wish all of us the best for surgery and much success on this new journey in our lives.

They said my surgery time is 7:30, I have to be there at 5:30, so I would guess you are at 8:30! Looks like we have to find each other and walk together! Just curious how young the two people having surgery at Forest Park are?? I'm 31! I will be with my husband & my FIL is coming. My mom is keeping our daughter, so most likely she won't be able to come!

I told my husband I will probably be 8:30 also. Yes we will have to find each other and walk the halls to a fast recovery and kickoff to our Excercise routine. I'm a bit older at 48. My husband will be there also. What does FIL mean?

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
