I am no longer dreaming

I woke up this AM and realized that my liquid protein diet starts today and my surgery is in 2-wks and 3-days for real. 

DH and I leave for NJ Dec 18 and now my nerves are kicking in some. 

Please all pray for me to have a uneventfull surgery and quick recovery.  I try to think what my life will be and I just can't see it yet.  The band will be gone whoohooo.  No more getting stuck and puking all the time. 

I can do this, I konw I can do this.  With God's love I can do this.

I am so happy for you and jealous. I wi**** was me AND you going together. You will do fine and this will be all over before you can say DS. Try to relax you are in great hands with Dr. Greenbaum. Keep us posted.

 You are going to get there too.  I started trying to get my revision from lap band to DS 1 1/2 year ago and there are a lot of people who have been fighting for it way longer than that. 

Please don't give up.  I will see you on the other side and I really think you will be there sooner than you think.  Right now I am taking this Liquid diet hell one minute at a time lol. 

I have to stay close to the bathroom cause I drink and run to Peeeeeeee Doing the potty shuffle lol. 

Love Wings

Of course you can do this.  You are going to do great!!  It will not be long before you are taking long walks on the beach.  Start thinking now about the type and color of bathing suit you will be wearing next summer!!!

Dear Red

I lay in my recliner and look out the window and dream of what it might be like to play in the Gulf and sit on the beach reading a good book.  I also dream of running a marathon but I have to learn how to run first.  I love walking and riding bikes with my hubby and my two wonderful playful fur baby dogs would really love it if I could take them a walk everyday. 

I am holding on tight and thank God everyday that it is finally around the corner because I was gettin real weak and did not know if I could hold on any longer. 

You are an inspiration to me and I hope to meet you someday.  

Love Wings

i'll be praying for you & me...i am getting sleeved on the 23rd.  yay for us!

 Oh lets have lunch in our dream sleep lol.  I will have you on my mind. 

I getting sleeved too with a little more added to it lol.  I am nervous but excited and I bet you are too. 

Keep me posted.

How are you doing on the post op diet?  What protein products are you using?  I am trying to get ready for my diet now and just have so many questions.

sorry this took so long, my computer is sick lol  I had to crap my daughters with a fight.  

Anyway I am using Atkins shakes.  I am on end of day 5 and I am sick to my stomach and weak .  I have some broth or sf ff popcycles or jello off and on and lots of water with 0 cal flavoring.  I cannot wait till this part is over.

I believe though that this is a small price to pay to get my health back and live again.  Feel free to ask anything you want, if I don't know the answer I will find it for you or turn you to someone who does.  Pm me if you need to. 

Wings

You'll be in my thoughts and prayers.  I'll be eager to hear how it all goes too!  You'll do fabulously!!! 

Any chance I can come join you playing in the gulf and sitting on the beach reading a good book?  I LOVE the beach!!!
