Topic: RE: Anyone on Sept 15, 2009? Anxious, nervous, freaking out??
Hi Diane,
Just checking in with you. I went to follow up with labs today and my PT was perfect. My INR was still about a point or too off but nothing for them to be concerned about. Therefore, the procedure will proceed as planned. GOODNESS, I am soo nervous, I have to check in to the hospital at 6 am so im guessing he will probably perform the procedure at around 8 or 9am.
Many blessings to all of you who are having your WLS surgery tommorrow. I just pray that all of us have safe, complication free uneventful surgeries, regardless of the surgery type.

Yes, I just cannot picture myself slimmer. I too have been overweight all my life. My mom keeps finding me smaller clothes, I just keep shaking my head. I just can't visualize myself thinner. Even though I know I will be! Good luck on your day!

Where did the time go? At first it seemed so far away and now surgery in 5 days. I am still more excited than nervous. My greatest fear is I go through all this just to gain it all back. I have been overweight all my life; obese since my teens. Anyone else having a hard time visualizing a new slimmer (& more importantly, healthier) you? May God bless us all!

Welcome - make sure to check back and let us all know how your surgery went. I think we are all on pins and needles by this point. I just started my list of stuff to pack - I'm taking an afghan to work on - not sure I will feel like it, but when I had my appendix out, I would have killed for a project to keep my hands busy. I'm also smuggling in my mini netbook - shhhh - don't tell the hospital. I think it's against the rules, but I'm also trying to get away with leaving my piercings in since I have to go back to the tattoo/piercing parlor to have them put back in. (Don't worry - I'm taking the pliars just in case ... LOL).
Congratulations ladies, we are almost there! Be proud of yourselves and have faith. This time next week, we will be feeling pretty good and looking forward to our first week weigh in. Maybe we should have a pool to guess how well we all do? Nah - we are all going to be BIG LOSERS!
Peace and love - safe surgery everyone. See you on the other side. Please check in when you can so we all know everyone is safe and sound. You are all in my prayers. God Bless.

63 hours until my surgery!!!!!!!!!!!! My favorite protein shake is 2 scoops of vanilla protein powder and a cup of decaf french vanilla coffee. Put in blender and add ice. Blend on shake setting. It is as good as a Starbucks Iced Lattee. YUM!!!

Maybe add some ice cubes and 1/3 c. of non-fat, instant powdered milk in a blender - that helped some! Glad I only had 2 days of liquids only. Tomorrow is the day! Yipeeeeee!
