Thanks Lellow!! I am getting excited now!

I have today off work to get last minute things done and stuff, I have been very productive!....mowed the lawns, had to fill a HUGE hole I just discovered my dogs had dug almost through to next door (They have a little fluffy dog, I have a greyhound!! Really don't want to risk something bad happening!!) Had to fill it with umpteen bricks and then backfill the dirt! Glad I discovered it today though otherwise I wouldn't have been able to rectify the situation!!

Did several loads of washing including my dogs beds and washed the dogs too (My labradoodle was filthy from the hole digging!!), going to pack my stuff and my dogs things in a minute then off to mums for a few days! I'll have internet there so I'll try to post asap!

Good luck to everyone else!!!!

I've been doing the same thing - cleaning, cleaning, cleaning! My husband got all week off, so we've been doing laundry, bathing the dog, just anything that needed to be done so that he didnt have anything else ot worry about but me and the animals. *lol*

I've been nervous this whole time... especially when I called today to find out the time of my surgery. I'm just hoping that I don't panick and back out at the last minute! *lol*

Thank you for the kind words, you really don't know how that makes me feel knowing that there are all these people out there offering support and they don't even know me. I truly appreciate it and will let you all know how I am feeling after my surgery. Thanks again and God Bless you all.

All the best, Always,

Andrea:thumbup:

Thanks for stepping in to Celebrate Ro's big day! We'll see her and all of the others back soon. She's a lucky gal because she'll be the first one done...by a long shot! She'll be done before I go to bed tonight. I'll be dreaming of BandLand :thumbup:

Thanks! I am ready, but still worried about how I will feel afterwards. I went shopping for all my liquid foods and food for my family. I am now going to clean the rest of the day and try not to think about food!

Thanks Lellow and everyone else for all your warm thoughts and prayers. I was quite surprised to see you had my name listed since I just signed in a few days ago. I can't really say that I am nervous right now maybe in the morning it just doesn't seem real to me yet. Unfortunately I was unable to do much cleaning or laundry since I hurt my back on Sunday. It is feeling better though and getting easier to move about. But thanks again and I will keep you posted as soon as I feel up to it. Thanks again for the support. It is so refreshing to know that people are thinking and praying for me and don't even know me. That is so awesome.

Thanks,

Carina:biggrin:

So I'm done.

Not the most pleasant experience I've had but I'm getting there. Dad stayed overnight and went home the next day almost running down the halls! He has pulled up really well. Me, well, not so much. I had a LOT of pain at my port site and found it REALLY hard to move, so the hospital kept me in a second night so they could manage the pain. There were a few absolute cows working the day and afternoon shifts. If I had the energy and inclination I would have said something to their supervisor. Today it is a lot better and I'm home to mum's now :cursing:. Been walking as much as I can.

Roomed with a girl the first night who had to get her band replaced because she didn't listen to it and ate too much causing vomiting which she didn't tell anyone about and had a slippage! She had lost 40kgs in 9 months though which was great but the slippage was a timely reminder to me about working with your band!:biggrin:

Well going to go for a little wander in the fresh air.

Glad to see you back, Ro. I have to admit I was miserable those first few days too, and felt a lot of pain. But it does get better, so I know in a week, you're going to feel more human.

Good to see your dad pulled up okay!

      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?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
