Had a Benjamin Bratt (The Cleaner on A and E) date tonight with my neighbour because we both love him, the show and she doesn't have cable. She doesn't know that I am getting banded next week. She brought Miss Vicki's chips and donuts!!!!!:thumbup: I didn't have not so much as a smell!!!!! :thumbdown:

Damn, I was tempted though. I am on day 7 of the pre op diet and I could eat a moose up to his knees in gravy right now but didn't cheat. I have been sticking to the diet - still taking one cream in my coffee and have used a drop of Olive Oil in some of my stir fries but haven't really cheated.

I walked thru the mall today to get stuff for surgery next week - it was really hard walking past the food court - damn, why does grease have to smell so good!!!! Grocery shopping was hell too but I am so over it now:thumbup:

I am only an hour away....so I will drive in that morning and come home to the comforts of home. If you need to chat and support over the w/end I can leave my phone #. Are you coming alone? I am sure all will be fine and this time next year is gonna be wonderful - we will be in skinnier clothes, hanging out at pools and enjoying a different, happier, thinner life!!!!!!!

Thank you Suzie! That's so nice!

I will come alone to Toronto and have a nurse taking care of me the first 24 hours.

I have a two-year-old and decided that I feel more comfy knowing my two men at home and doing this adventure on my own. It seems less stressful.

hope all goes well - I am sure it will. You must be so excited. And if you need anything let me know

Hi Suzie,

It's your big day and I am thinking of you.

I wish you smooth sailing and a speedy recovery.

I am back home with my family and doing okay. I have to be a little careful of my over excited 2-year-old. He has sharp knees and ellbows

Hi Kat,

Glad you are home with your family. Hope you are doing good. I am up and about - they repaired a hernia while I was under so I have some pain from that. All is good though.
