Same here! Although nothing is needed at the hospital besides your clothes' date=' I feel like something is missing. I hate that feeling. Good luck tomorrow!![/quote']

Home and sleeved. I took too much junk to the hospital. All I needed was Chapstick, toothbrush, comb and brush, and cell phone.

You are so blessed to have her. I'm on my own. So nervous but there's no turning back for me now. Let me know how it goes for you both please. I'm the 24th.

You can do it. I went alone and my doctor was so surprised. My nieces stayed the night last night she was asleep before me lol. She told me she was scared for me. Awwwww I know her mindset will change the first time I get on her about something. LOL.

ALL THE BEST TO THOSE BEING SLEEVED TODAY AND EARLIER IN THE WEEK!

I'm dying to weigh but my husband hid my scale at my request until I'm home for a week!! Also, I'm dreaming of pureed food which I am allowed to start on Saturday. It will be nice to go back to regular-ish meal times. My hubs is buying me a Nutri-Bullet before then. We have had a magic bullet for years and have used it a ton. So the fact that it'sdying now is no problem...it owes us nothing! but the nutri- bullet has a better construction.

Yes we did! It's great being on the losing side.

I just got my call for tomorrow. Surgery at 1:30pm. Eeek...exciting and nervous at the same time!

Well, I came home last night. I stayed 2 nights and was having horrible pain in my side that would take my breath away. They sent me for an upper GI and besides major swelling it was good. Then thy took out the JP drain and lo and behold, it was 80 percent better. I could breath and haven't had a single episode of feeling like i was being kicked in the gut by a horse. Yeah!! I am having trouble getting down fluids. I'm at 20 ounces for the day so far. That's improving too. Popsicles are my life saver. 16 of the 20 ounces are from the sugar free Popsicles. How's everyone else doing? Good luck and God bless to all who are going today and forward. Lets finish July with a bang!!

Oh!!! I have had less than 300 calories total for the previous 4 days and I weighed when I got home. I had gained 8 pounds!! I was going to ask for a refund;). This morning I was down 6. That's good, but I'm still above where I started.
