How did work go. I agree your tough. No way I could do anything that soon. Try to rest some. Your body needs time to heal!

Well I made it through. I am in a little pain and a little gas but I keep moving.I am having problems getting in all my protein but getting most of it. So far I actually don't feel too bad.

I'm so amazed you could work . I couldn't do anything for a week! Dont do too much. You had major surgery and your body really needs to heal for you to be successful. As I said before please rest and take care ofyourself!

On my 1 day clear liquid diet in preparation for the surgery tomorrow. Hospital just called to confirm. I'm so nervous and pensive and feeling like i'm on the precipice of something amazing!!

We're renting a recliner so I can sleep at night - cause if i sleep in my own bed my 3 year old will CERTAINLY jump on my stomach at night. And we just can't have it.

But seriously??? I'M. SO. HUNGRY. I. CAN'T. THINK. STRAIGHT. All this clear liquid is NOT cutting it. GOSH.

I'm so excited for you! Yay! I know how your feeling but it'll all me fine and over soon. Congratulation!

Hey everyone! My surgery is on Friday and I started my liquid diet yesterday. I also went and had all my blood work done..well they have this program where I can see all my blood work results..prob not a good thing because I'm a TERRIBLE worrier!! I saw that my white blood count was elevated a little outside of the normal range and I'm just hoping and praying this isn't going to turn out to exclude me from surgery or become a problem. Also, I feel like an emotional wreck today and that I'm on the verge of losing it!

Hi! Congrats on your surgery! I'm afraid I can't help with the white blood count. I'm sure your doctor would have told if it would be a problem though. If not I would just call them a check with the nurse just to a peace of mind. I feel you on the emotional wreck. It's been a roller coaster for me. I'm on day 12 of my pre op diet and let me tell you it has been so difficult trying to keep track of my emotions. I'm sure it's because my body is getting use to these changes so I'm becoming way more hormonal. My surgery is Thursday and I'm freaking out. Stay strong! It will all be worth it!

I'll be banded on the 29th. So close, yet so far.. I start my 3 week preop on the 7th. I'm so excited :) I've been waiting for so long!

I've told my family, my best friend and my boyfriend. They're really the only people that need to know.

That is my surgery date as well! Best of luck!
