Jessica

Good luck riverbuff... Mark! You end this week of surgeries. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and the doctors and nurses. Keep us posted when you can.

Jessica

Thank you Jessica and Maria. Yes tomorrow is my big day. I can not wait and not one bit nervous. I can't wait to get this party started My current weight is 399. I lost 12 lbs with the liquid diet. But one thing that kinda upsets me is that the surgeon says my starting weight is 399. Wait what happen to the 91lbs I lost on my own. She said it doesn't count. Well, to me it does. So I will contiue to use 490 as my starting weight.

Congratulations on beating your pre-op weight goal! Losing over 90 pounds on your own is amazing in itself. You will do wonderful after surgery. Seems like you have great determination!

Good luck Mark we are thinking about you and wishing you well! Let us know how things went when you can and remember WALKWALKWALK SIPSIPSIP

By the time it is my turn I will have the mantra down. I played with my incentive spirometer today got to 2500 wonder how much it will move post op!

My goodie bag from the hospital also had info on the shower scrub, the q pump, and a booklet about the whole stay.

Sent from my iPad using RNYTalk

I weigh 280 today. Only 11 days until surgery. I have blood work and a meeting with the surgeon. Pulled out a bunch of my saved jeans from my thinner years. Sure am excited about fitting into them again.

Surgey is 4 days away and for some reason I've started trying to bite my nails.( nervous habit) Has anyone else had some nervous habits rise to the surface? It is starting to freak me out just the fact of my brain saying, "No. You're not nervous." And my body saying, "The hell you're not." Help!

Being nervous is ok and completely normal. I think the majority of people get nervous before surgery. The one I had creep up was cleaning....the night before surgery! If you knew me, you'd know how ridiculous that was. I have so little "free" time with my family that I try to put my boys and husband before cleaning, so the fact that I was up until 1:30am cleaning was absurd especially when I had to get up at 4am to get to the hospital. I'm a stress eater and I guess since I couldn't eat, I cleaned! Hang in there. Your day is almost here!!

Surgery is a scary experience it's only natural to be nervous but all of you will do well. The first night was hell for me because of all the pressure from the gas. Just remind yourself you will get better soon. I had mine done Monday and now I feel great. I am only a little sore when I get gassy. I use the gas ex and then I'm good. I haven't felt this good in years. Seriously guys we are all pulling for you and you will be ok. My blood sugar is already in normal range and I can't say how much I've shrunk but there is a difference. I know you all will feel so much better after you have a few days to recover. Don't be nervous! Prayers for you all. I hope to all my post op buddies you are doing well too. So far this really has been the best choice I have made for my health.

Well I'm feeling pretty good today had survey on Monday

Stupid phone cut my thread short so here's the rest able to get all my liquids in and protein via shakes still takin my pain meds just waiting for the scale to start moving

Yay! MBMOM its great having a surgery day buddy! Just the weekend too go!!!

I only lost 10 pounds on the pre-op diet that really scares me. Hows everyone doing? I love reading up dates. How the energy level after surgery? I eat a lot of time for energy. Have you wonderful day!

So I just got a call from the Drs office and they said they have to move my date from the 26th to the 28th and it wouldn't be till after 3...YIKES!!! I asked her if they had anything earlier she said i'll call you back and YES!!!!! My surgery is on the 25th at 11:30!!!
