Well I finally had my surgery on the 15th everything went great.  I am sore and very very bloated.  I am walking pretty good and really all I can complain about is the bloating.  It's terrible...wish I could just fart like the doctor told me I need to do relieve it...but I CAN"T!  Any suggestions lol?

Mine is scheduled for the 20th.  I'm just ready to be done and start my new life.  I've been on Optifast since Wednesday at my pre-op so just miserable.  Starting Sunday, I go to full liquids until surgery.  Thankfully I'm the first one to get surgery on the 20th so my hunger misery shouldn't last too long. 

Hi debrabashoor,

I am on day 12 of my liquid diet. I have to tell you that it gets better as time go's by..Good Luck!!

Good luck to everyone!!!

 Lizzy,
You have NOTHING to thank me for!!  You are an inspiration to everyone...not just because of the weight loss but because of the person that you are.  I thank God every single day to have you and that is the honest truth.  You help everyone and always have.  You weren't invisible sweetie...you have always been bigger than life.  You would and have gone out of your way and sacrificed so much for everyone else that you just forgot to take care of you.  I am very thankful that you have learned to multi-task and continue to help me and my family (and everyone else around you) while remembering to also take care of yourself.  You now know that you CAN have it all and CAN be the wonderful and caring person while still finding something for Jane.  You are INCREDIBLE.  I am sure that I can speak for Amy as well but we need to thank YOU...If it had not been for you, I would probably not have had this surgery and I doubt that Amy or even Sarah would have either.  Thanks for jumping first girl!!

Love you so much!!
Mimi
