I can not wait.  Start liquid diet tomorrow and so bring on the week, I'm ready for Tuesday to be yesterday! 

Celebrate and dance a wiggle because a year from now there will be no jiggle.  wahoo!

Good luck to everyone on the August list.  Prayers for quick recoveries and great futures of health and happy lives.

 That's so wonderful to hear!!!  I'm so happy for you!!!  Way to go!!!!!   

My date is Wednesday, too! 

How was this past week - have you been following your pre-op diet?  My surgeon had me on low/no carbs and in 6 days I lost 6lbs.

Good luck!!!

I love the idea of keeping in touch and cheering each other on!  You've already lost 21 pounds!  Good for you!  My weight has not dropped off like I would like.  In fact, I've wondered over the last few days if the doctor really created a pouch or just poked around and left everything the way it was - trying to see if I'd lose weight through the psychological belief that I have a smaller stomach.  I'm sure that's not really the case, but I'm really not down but about 10 pounds.  I've lost about 17 overall, but I THINK I lost some of it before surgery.  I guess I just have to keep up the meds, and the walking, and the smaller portions. 
Dr still has me on a liquid diet with 2 oz of protein every hour and 6 oz of "hydrating fluid" every 15 minutes for the rest of the hour.  I'm having trouble getting in the protein because I want to have a meal (even if just soup) AT MEALTIME - not just a little each hour.   Any suggestions?   I go for my 3 week on Wednesday of next week and hope to be cleared to have "fork tender" foods.
I do not think of you as a baby - just smart.   I am still milking the inability to lift items but the restriction on driving was too much.  The teaching part is a little tough just because I'm constantly worried that I will need the bathroom!
Let me know how you're doing!  Happy healing!   

Surgery is just a few days away now (8/29)! I can't believe it. Starting to get pretty nervous though...
