Hey Trish,

I know just how you feel. My surgery is on Wednesday. Everytime I get to eat my lean meat, I just savor it. I have been practicing on chewing and eating very slowly. It takes me about an hour to eat the small amount they are allowing me. I feel sorry for my husband...he has only been allowed straight Protein shake since last Tuesday and his surgery is next Friday. Every time he smells food it is hard for him. I wish you the best on your surgery and I am glad you have already lost 10 lbs! YOU GO GIRL!! Best Wishes to you:D

Okay Im just getting so nervous.. The nurse from the surgery center called me asking questions and giving me all the information I need for that morning. After that call I know this is for real and Im really doing it. Im so scared, nervous, and excited all at once. Its all but once pile after another on my back... the last fews days I have been dealing with school, trying to get my loan back to take some classes this summer, Im also dealing with the fact the stupid IRS took our refund.. that was going to help pay for my trip. and now we are putting off bills to be able to get a hotel. Thank goodness for priceline.com LOL I got a 150.00 room for only 45.00 nice! just little things here and there are just all getting to me. I do belive in the saying "when it rains it pours" I hope and greatly deserve this surgery to go well for me.

Well Im starting to pack.. I got my small luggage out.. and putting things in as I clean the house.. So far I got gas-x, heating pads, portien powder, broth, sf pudding, benifiber, splenda, coffee filters, Creamer, nicotine Patches, breath strips, coffee mugs, paper plates..... hebral tea, liquid tyenol, tums. Thats all so far... there is still lots of room for more.. I need coffee, juice, Jello, and maybe a couple of towles.. i like my own towels over the hard crusty hotel towels.. lol

Next I will pack my over night bag at the hospital... so far in there I just got my slippers hehehe.. Im washing my comfy pjs now.

Then I will pack the big luggage with all my and my hubbys clothes...

Then I will pack my big carry bag with all my bathroom goodies...

Gosh I feel like im moving LOL... I know I always over pack for things and I probably will over pack for this but i guess thats better then under packing huh...

Thanks for listening to me

AHHHHHHHHHHH Im getting my BAND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Trish:

Are you hanging in there still? I started liquids today. Was really nervous after talking to the surgery nurse too, and then I met the doc in the parking lot on his way to lunch when I was picking up a friend. That put my mind to rest. He makes me feel so confident in my decision and his ability. Maybe when you get there and speak with your doc your stress will subside.

I'm reading your thread every day it assures me I'm not alone, as I am sure the banded experiences are helping you. Hey, maybe the hospital or hotel will have internet you can check in there too. Good Luck !!! Be excited skinny girls here we come!!

Brenda, I agree with you, its great to know we are not alone.. My husband was counting to me say "2 more days.. 2..2.. thats 1..2..." in his funny little voice... trying to make me laugh im sure. I just sigh, ahhhhhh... I told him we should take the truck instead of the car so all my luggage will fit.. hehehe Im looking in drawers that i hardly ever look in to see what I can take... now how crazy is that.. I just might run out of luggage... Thank goodness for my extra Walmart bags LOL .....

I was thinking of taking my laptop, but the keyboard isnt working.. and I dont want to haul a keyboard and mouse... to messing... Ohhhhhhh but im not forgeting my paper plates LOL thats for John hehe

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?
