wow that is great. What kids of work do you do? I work at Home Depot and the store is huge. I am going to ask my Dr for a note to make sure I am on light duty.

I work in a print shot with high powered printers. ...printing and binding books

I am very nervous about the transition time. I work full time and I am only taking a week off from work.

I'm going back to work after a week also. I'm not sure how I'm going feel, being I move, and bend a lot. If I get too tired or start hurting, I'll just take off a few more days..

Be careful.. Let your your surgical wound heal. What happened to you inside is bigger than it looks on the outside!!! Stay hydrated too.. sips all day!! You should not lift or pull over 10 Lbs for 6 weeks. Do NOT take chances...Good Luck and take care!!

Thanks for the advice.

Today is my day, I am ready!!! Surgery isn't untill 2. Gonna be a long morning

Good luck!! I'm so excited for you! Mine is next monday!

I find out my time on friday. We live 2 1/2 hours away so I am hoping for mid morning. I am going to be so nervous. Tomorrow I get the endoscopy done at 10:45. No coffee. i think that is going to be my hardest challenge. Lets us know how you are doing.

I am on the 29th. I fly down on the 28th to San Diego and then get a shuttle ride to MX. I have a lower BMI so they said I didn't have to do the week of pre-op liquid diet, just two days of clear liquid. But, I decided to try the liquid pre-op diet to give myself a kick-start on the weight loss and get mentally set for next phase of my life and new lifestyle. I wasn't perfect yesterday, but hey it is a start.

I am nervous, but more anxious about handling the diet afterwards as I travel every week for work. I am at my client site from M-F every week. I stay in a hotel. I have prepped as best I can with bullet like blender at the client site, protein powder, chicken broth etc.
