I am tomorrow also.  In fact, we are at a hotel in Pensacola where my surgeon is since i have to be there so early. 

My hubby is dozing peacefully next to me but I am wound so tight that I cannot sleep.  I am so excited, but nervous too!

Good luck to all of you tomorrow! And God Bless!

Congrats !!  I am also having surgery on Jan 23rd and so is a friend of mine. We are both beside ourselves with excitement and can totally identify with that "I can't wait" feeling. Best of luck to you !!

Thank you both for your support. I had a really emotional day today (that time of the month).  I got through the day without eating, and I'm feeling A LOT better this evening. It's great to know that there is so much support out here!! *hugs*

Thank you so much!

Melissa,

Drink a ton of water.  Can you drink clear soup?  If so, something I did was go to a chinese place and ordered hot and sour soup with no tofu, meat or fish. I strained out the veges and man did it fill me up and satisfy me.

If you are on protein shakes or slimfast, chase each one with a huge glass of water.

Also, SpecialK makes a protein additive to water call protein and you can add it to water and protein will help to keep you full.

Just a couple suggestions.  Keep your eye on the prize you're going great and the losers bench is in site.

Big Hugs,
Barb

Elly,

First of all, welcome home.  I had my RNY on 1/8/09 and the day I came home I took several naps.  Every body is so different but yours is telling you that you need more rest.  Are you sleeping well at night?  If not, you may be trying to make up for what you are not getting at night.

Enjoy it and welcome it because it means you are healing.

Best of luck and hugs,

Barb

Hang on in there!  I feel very emotional too and actually cried in front of the receptionist at work (I'm her boss). Admittedly I have had some bad news in the past  24 hours, but usually I can control my emotions in public.  I'm on the same date as you. Not long to go now, I can hardly believe it!

Topic: No food and tears.....
I feel like such a pansy!!   I woke up this morning and I was starving! My stomach was growling really loud and cramping. Once I got up and got moving, it seemed to get better. I got to work and I had TONS of energy. Now, I have no energy and nothing seems to be helping to make me feel less hungry. I'm actually sitting here at my desk with tears running down my face because I can't eat. LOL...how obsurd is that???  Anyway, I could use some good thoughts today if you have a spare one. I'm really struggling today.

On an up note - 7 more days to go!
