Calling all March 30th...

This is for all the lucky people that are having sugery on March 30!!

How are you feeling now? Are you on a liquid diet and if so how is that going?
Have you packed your hospital bag yet? For all those working ppl have you seen your patience deminish on the job? Do you feel like cussing everyone who looks at you twisted out?
How is your family handling your upcoming surgery? Supportive/non supportive?

Just trying to get an idea of what others are feeling...I myself am a ball of emotion!


6 days till they strap me for the ride of my live!!!

I'm almost ready. I bought all my food for the first couple of weeks. I haven't packed yet, but I don't plan on taking too much. I'm definitely having a hard time concentrating at work. I'm not too irritable...just starting to get nervous. My house is a MESS! I'm off tomorrow, so I'll spend the day getting my house in order. My family is so-so in the support department.

I am SO ready to take this ride too!

Hey Felicia

I brought all my food for the first couple of weeks too...family is family I guess maybe they will come around eventually! I am very nervous...kinda weird for me because I am not moved my much! But anywho have a good day cleaning and enjoy your weekend!!

Monday is the big day!!!

I am hungry!!!  My doctor allows non-starchy vegetables...I'm sick of nothing but protein shakes, cabbage, green beans, and broccoli.  I've lost 21.2 lbs since last Monday.  I am a little more irritable than usual, but not so much as I expected.  I haven't packed my bag...not really planning on taking much.  Family is supportive.  I am slightly nervous.  Just ready to get it over with and start seeing more big losses!

I hear ya!!

I came down with a cold and I am on antibiotics! I hope to God this clears by Monday!! Anywho I am staying home from work tomorrow and resting!! I have lost 10 and it would have been more if they didnt switch me to Ensure in the middle..anywho I will check in tomorrow and see how you are doing!!

I woke up with a cold this morning! I called the doctor's office.  The nurse told me as long as I don't have a fever over 101 and my lungs are ok they would probably still do the surgery...I just HOPE AND PRAY my cold doesn't turn into an infection! 

Hi girl , I feel your pain. I wasfull of anxiety for two weeks and also very nervous the day before.  had surgery on 03/24/2009 and Im doing great. Im just tired of eating liquids and chewing vitamins. I gave losed 5 pounds and I am having my staples and drainage tube removed tomorrow. Hang on in there girl everything is going to be ok. just remember we will be bringin sexy back for the summer.(smile). Take care and keep in touch.

Hey guys!  How is everyone doing?  I was banded on Monday as well.  Pain isn't too bad, in fact, not having to take the pain meds today.  The gas is the most annoying part.  Trying to move as much as possible - certainly feel better when I do.

What are you drinking?  Have you started on Isopure yet?  I'm just doing jello, broth and herbal tea.
